Jinx Lennon will play the Spirit Store on Friday November 29th with his garage band as a three piece and special guests on the night will be The Shamrock Showband. Jinx has been at the periphery of the Irish music scene since the mid eighties playing in Novena Babes, Silver Seeds, Sneaky Pete and The Ostrich and other bands playing in the backs of pubs and night clubs pushing against the mediocrity of the cover band scene that is part and parcel of North East border Life. Since 1999 Jinx has gone solo and describes his music as punk folk electro singing about his daily a to z, work, his headwrecks, the local oddballs, the drama and the characters of Dundalk border existence and beyond. He has toured with the likes of The Fall, John Cooper Clarke and supported folk legend Christy Moore.
Jinx has released several albums such as 'Know Your Station Gouger Nation!!!', 'Border Schizo Fffolk Songs for the Fuc**d', 'Grow A Pair', 'Liferafts for Latchicos' and the people's favorites of his tunes include 'Stop Giving Out About Nigerians', 'Newry Bird', 'We don't see anything out here', '300 Pianos', 'Forgive the C**s', and many more.
This year Jinx has done two nights at Glastonbury, played at a festival on a ship in Hamburg Ms Stubnitz, has done two Irish tours and the Electric Picnic and is just back from a stint in Glasgow. Jinx has been performing as a foresaid garage rock three piece with Jinx's album producer Chris Barry who runs Ailfionn Studios and has produced such luminaries as Junior Brother and Mary Wallopers and Chris produced Jinx's last four albums. Castleblayney maestro Jamie Muckno will also play with Jinx on the night. Jamie is a member of the support act Shamrock Showband which includes Conor Mc Auley and himself. The Shamrock Showband mine and sample the hidden psychedelic side or sampledelic side of Showband era tunes and have a great love for Big Tom.
The next Jinx album will be ready to go in april 'The Hate Agents Leer At The Last Isle Of Hope' which deals with Irish identity, bigotry, the love of playing music and how growing up a catholic can warp the mind but also bring freedom when you start thinking for yourself.
"Except in the crucial sense that he understands class Lennon is not a protest singer. The rich horn in for a few lines, but mostly Lennon means to warn the local good guys about the bad guys waiting to f**k them up" - Bob Christgau, Rolling Stone / Village Voice
"Jinx Lennon is an unstoppable force of nature. With PET RENT, he has proven once again that, just when we think we know all the answers, it is time to change the questions" - Edwin Mc Fee, Hot Press Review of 'Pet Rent'
