10past7 & Jezery - Cork sat 15/8/09

bogwalrus

Ten Past Seven and Jezery play Cyprus Avenue in Cork this Saturday 15th.









TP7 burst out of the bogs of kerry like the mythical bog walrus itself; graceful and ferocious with a taste for the deeper grooves. With guitar, bass and drums these three young men from the magical Kingdom bring a refreshingly heathen approach to a scene so often over intellectualised and mined for its own inner reflections.

TP7 explore intoxicating grooves using disorientating tempos discovering on the way explosive undercurrents, the intensity of which are likely to grab you by the genitals and rattle your visceral cage.

On stage they hold an audience captive, reeled in by mesmerising rhythms and disturbingly hypnotic facial expressions What starts as an impressive display of soulful musical dexterity, quickly evolves into an all out frenzy of voluminous crescendos and gutshakingly metallic climaxes.

Their debut release on Outonalimb displays the full range of their ability to transfer their raw power and passion to musical expression with an uncluttered instrumental palette, combining psychedelic groove, metal mayhem and jazzy post rock.

They've graced the stage with such acts as. Lightning Bolt, Dj Scotch Egg, XBXRX, Pelican, Nina Nastasia, Charlottefield, Giddy Motors, La Quiete, Moss, Vaz, The Redneck Manifesto, Noxagt, Electric Eel Shock, Deerhoof and have summered at Irish festivals Mantua, The Green Gathering, Livestock, Pikey Fest, Bloom Fest, Killkenny arts Fest and more.

Jezery is a music band. Jezery was born in Ireland in 2005. It wiped off it's own birth slime, cut its own umbilical cord, and wailed to prove its own existence. It continues to make noise. The parents are unknown and the midwife disappeared. The doctors say it sounded like the love-child of Tom Waits' internal monologue and a medium-sized ocean.

Jezery grew into a tribe of four friends brought together by shared and interweaving eccentricities and synchronicities. Their music wafts in and out of consciousness and sways in a wind of frequencies.

In a live setting they invite you to lean and wobble within their swirling melancholy giddy circus of guitars and beats and voices, propelling momentum into the ears and under the skins of the audience.

This tribes' explorative soundings and heartfelt pleas have been heard on two ep's ejected from their clearing in a rainforest where they live in stark nudity. Be Wide in 2005 and Six Sided Clothes in 2007. They have ventured around Ireland playing music gigs with many other music tribes.

They look forward to meeting your ears and getting right inside them, sensuously yet aggresively.
