JJ72

The Irish-based indie guitar trio JJ72 first crawled out of their Dublin nest in 1997, as lead singer Tag Greaney and drummer Fergal Matthews found one another in the city’s Belvedere University mostly because of a mutual admiration for Joy Department, Nirvana, and what Matthews called Greaney’s “cool jacket.” After going right through a variety of bass players, each of them locked onto a actress with the name of Hilary Woods to complete the band. With all the current members set up, the newly produced trio finally acquired the opportunity to start out sending out demonstration copies from the band’s “Air” to several r / c and press retailers. Despite these gradual first guidelines, DJs and music journalists quickly ended wondering the actual band’s name supposed (most common ideas being a kind of washing machine as well as Janis Joplin’s fat in rock) as well as started to champ the band among the brightest expectations for indie electric guitar music in 2000. In Feb 2003, Woods still left the group for various other personal goals. A long lasting replacement had not been known during the bassist’s departure. 3 years afterwards, JJ72 officially known as it quits in June 2006 after greater than a 10 years together. Grounds for the divide was because of the band’s strained romantic relationship using their record firm, and having less funding for the third JJ72 record.
