Oh right right are you based here in letter Kenny? No I'm based in Glenfun so we're from Glenfun but Dad is out there. Ah good stuff. So Lorcan and Jason of course you're you're not too far from here on me. Ah yeah yeah Barba Faye as well. Barba Faye man is right. Keep him well. Keep him the best. Nice to be back. That's nice to have you back. Lorcan give us a quick insight just if you don't mind your band and Martellos. Yeah. You flew over you flew over from London yesterday. Flew over from London yesterday. I'm just back. This band beside me owns going to Australia in a few weeks so just back to spend a week with him. But yeah Martellos so it's myself and my band mate Kevin Gunnigan. He's a my old man himself. We met in Galway where we went to college and we kind of have been making music since then music since then like just in the last two years sort of since the pandemic especially. Kind of started like focusing our efforts on this indie electro thing that we have going. So that's the project that we're on at the moment and yeah it's going good. Are you working over there Lorcan are you full-time musician? I'm in between jobs yeah I'm trying to be a full-time musician but I need to work on bars and stuff. Of course. And has the gig in seen good over there tonight? It is yeah I've played a couple of other bands as well. Mixer and Ardo and I play with Jason's band as well whenever I'm home and get time. So it does be a gig like but yeah just find the balance I think is can be quite difficult at times. I know I know. Oh and yourself you're heading to Australia? I am. I'm going to Perth two weeks time. I'm working in the hospital over there so. Have you been there before? Have not. No you haven't. I'm looking forward to the experience definitely. You have a job lined up in a minute? Job lined up. Excellent. Job lined up. No accommodation yet right now. No word of doubt. We'll get that sorted. If you're working in a hospital you'll be gone. You won't need accommodation. A lot of people heading out there hey I was just listening to a lot of coverage over the last couple of weeks because of the ladies football and the amount of people that are out and Perth in it especially I know my own family lived out there for quite a while and it's great to see it but a big Irish community out there but I don't think you'll be without accommodation for too long. But anyway listen welcome we're going to get into piece of music first and what are you going to do first or what? I think we're going to play we have myself and Kevin have a three song EP coming out yeah at the end of the summer we just released West two weeks ago Jimmy actually gave it his first spin on the radio there two weeks ago and we have another song 95 coming out at the end of this month so this is the the one that's not coming out this month this is called another and these are these are all originals yeah all originals yeah and who does the main song write in this? Well I write the words in the guitar normally but Kevin comes up with like the beat so he would count the percussion the synths the bass the sort of the fundamental stuff and then we kind of just we kind of both finish it off then ready from there like if I write something terrible he'd tell me like this is a bit more collaborative than you think like well listen we're we're looking forward to hearing this whenever you're ready yeah thank you have it launched or you're launching it? No it's coming out at the end of the summer yeah so it's called Strawberry Blonde by uh just I guess the prominence of like mental health struggles and Mayu went on to go to the places where we're from and he says that's kind of what's inspired it and yeah I guess it's sort of like tracks the progress of some from the eyes of somebody going through something um over three tracks and this yeah they're the one sort of thing yeah that's the sort of the general theme uh and then there's three different tracks at different points I guess along that journey but yeah that's the general theme. Where'd you record that? In this man's shed actually. On a snowy January day. It sounds so professional in this man's shed. We're standing under the rain and decided to go. Time to be alive. What have you just have you a bit of a studio there? It's not just a shed. No it's not simply just a shed. There's a few wee bits in there yeah um but no it's grand. It's grand for just recording bits and pieces out there. It's fun to do it as well get different people out new perspectives. Do you do much work on there uh you know regarding your own music and stuff? I do yeah I do but I'm going through a bit of a dry spell at the minute now. Unmotivated spell but it's nice to have this man back and be playing a couple tunes again of course um so yeah now hopefully if you. The motivation will come back when it comes back. You're not under pressure so you know exactly not definitely not under pressure. Absolutely. So Morgan how long have you been living out in London? There are four years now right it's like two weeks but uh but I suppose a lot of that was COVID two it came on for eight months in COVID times and then when I got back there it was I was still pretty much locked down like and yeah it's what doesn't. It's been very broken up that kind of way but uh four years now in two weeks time. And you say you know you play with yourself uh and uh Kevin is it? Yeah myself and Kevin are Martellos. Martellos yeah right and so you must be busy if you're playing with all our bands as well. I do be busy enough now um yeah do be super busy. I'll be a comment my friends will often make will be a bit of a spare moment for them. And uh you know your song or your song style um where do you get the inspiration for that? Is it is a certain artist you follow or a certain artist? For the Martellos project uh I think from my point of view I don't know I found that question very difficult to be honest but I would have grown up like listening to a lot of JMT and I love like our sweatshirt as well but he's a rapper but more like what he does with words I suppose than his actual sound. Helping your song right like yeah that kind of way like like actually the word part of it. Which you did say between yourself and Kevin one is to the words and one is to the. So it's two very different maybe more influenced by LCD sound system and time on Pala. A lot of people thought we'd like the chemical brothers and underworld were like ones that people said that West reminded them of um from the production side of things. So I guess like he is his own influence and so do I and it's the combination makes it a little bit different. That's good. Do you get a chance to you know what the Martellos do you get a chance to play do you play totally your own music or or you know what way do you work with that? It's all original. We played a gig on Friday night there in the old dispensary in Canberra and we played four originals four or five originals and a cover because that's just kind of what brought us up to the time slot really. But yeah we would throw on a cover as well like pretty nice but it was all original yeah. And uh you know are you building up a kind of a clientele they're watching you or do you know what I mean? Yeah that was our first gig actually but uh so yeah trying to the last song went out west pretty well and like RT radio Jenny Green was playing it and a few other producers there so yeah I guess that's the plan out of the summer is just to build some hype and gig more and why not these tunes out and why not. Come here uh another track we're going to get another song for me you know. Yeah so that's all we have actually for Martellos at the moment but we're gonna play the track that I play kind of more singer song ready stuff. Will the EP be a big launch or yeah well hopefully that's the plan. That's always the plan. I'm hoping for international stardom. It modestly says. So Lord D is actually expecting it. The Lord D projects. What are we talking here? What style are we talking about? More singer song ready stuff so Jason actually like has a few songs out that we can work on together. Okay. And we're gonna play one of them as well. Should we play that now will we? Ah go for it now. What do you reckon? Ah I suppose I should why not. Why not. Why not. This song is called Get Down and when do we write it last year? Last year yeah right last year in Jason's EP. My EP yeah yeah we'll just give it a go. One two three four. We go for a dance but my mind is other plans I know I know I know and get down I just want to sit down by the side of the tree by the tree and get down. And Jason Deary. That's what we wrote together. Ah you don't have to include me it's fine. That's all I love the way he's brilliant. Thanks. Cheers thank you very much. Have you released that? That's out in Spotify yeah if you're just under Jason Deary Spotify YouTube. Have you much music on Jason? Ah there's two EP's out there so yeah I'm sure if you surfed through it you might find something you like. He says modestly. A great I just loved it with the two voices they worked on very very well you know. No not yours. I love your guitar Lorcan. Give us a what kind of guitar is this? Where's the guitar there actually? It's Adam Mass. It's a card and fiber. It's a fiberglass. Beautiful. It's got a warp neck actually and we're just talking about this. But it's very hard to get fixed because it's fiberglass. It sounds nice as a main thing. I don't think you have Jason what's the story? This raggedy thing over here. What is it Jason? It's an awkward question. It's called sire. I don't even think they make these anymore. It's from somewhere over there anyway. It sounds nice just know we're gonna do too much euro. No we're going to get another song from you if you don't mind. So you have time for two or one? You can do one and you do cover then after that. That's right. We have to go ten you see. We did prepare like a load more songs but we kind of tried to pick the best. Well listen we wanted to do a private session we could do in the town somewhere and get on the bar. Lorcan where are you getting next? Next gig I have was with Martellos on the 26th of August and we've got the best song off the EP we think called 95 is coming out on the 25th of August so that's our two big landmarks now coming up. The best look that. What about yourself Jason? I was playing I don't even think I have any gigs lined up by. Very lazy. Sorry I wish I had something to remote. You can see your dry spot in the writing and everything else is just moseying moseying on to you. Moseying on to you. Moseying on to you. Moseying on to you. I got a job recently. I think it's bad. Ah big boys. Big boys stuff. Oh left on the song about it. Listen Lorcan the next track is. The next track is a song called Westside it's not released it's a larfty song and it's kind of about Balboffay really I suppose but more or less. Inspired bit anyway. Bye. Picking up through the underground. Looking over each other's shoulders and open no one notices the smoke that we're blowing. No idea where we're going. It's all about belonging then some guy. He comes around the corner. I'm hoping he done. It's time to fly. I'm running away. I'm thinking I don't want to go but I wish I never came. 3am in the morning. Kissing under glistening rain. Under a straight light. A ground one elongated shadow of two people who had done wrong on both sides. There's fault and pain. We kiss till the rush and the hearth's delayed till the morning. At least that's what we'll say. Until the tears stray, here's your getaway. We're lost at sea. Where the storms obey as I felt hurt. I press against man. I don't want to go but I wish I never- Crag and Cheep. And that is going to be on the EP. Nah, that's a log D song now, so it's very confusing. All these alter eagles. All these alter eagles. I can see a big buster between log D and the mortellos, I mean. I can't miss it. Right, the rivals should work over a quicker. What's the cover? The cover is called Freefall by Rainbow Kitten Spray.

And we are in studio, we are joined in studio by Lorkin and Owen and Jason Lorkty and the Martellos. You probably think there's a whole crowd of people in here, but there's not, there's just the three of us. Anyway, the final song, once again, the cover Lorkin is what? It's called Free Fall by Rainbow Kitten Surprise. We'd love to hear this. It comes said to the devil, devil, do you like drums? Do you like cigarettes? Dominals Romney says only Sunday and Sunday's Christmas. Sometimes then when I need a new friend, no, and again I can never hope to keep them. Thoughts of good friends, what I thought that they wanted. Never have they needed a good friend as I've been. Don't get me venting on friends, I'll resent you because all you ever been has been a noose to hang on to. They thought it was a necklace and reckless, they fell into hell. Bull fang with nothing to do about scratch kick. The gravity went like this, the gravity went like you can leave it all behind. Even the devil needs time alone sometime. You can let it all go, you can let it all go. It's called Free Fall, Free Fall. And call to the devil and the devil say, quick, can't be bothered, gotta handle your shit. Keep about your wits, now keep about your wits. Know yourself and who you came in with. Can I sit down, I'll be nothing all day. I can't even count how many souls I made from the same deal you are. But remember, the devil ain't a friend and no one. So fine, you can let it all go. It's called Free Fall, Free Fall. What a story to tell. Now you can let it all shit easy, let me show you how it's like. That shit's easy, let me show you how it's like. That's it then. Well, can I just say a big thank you to my brother, Owens Woodman Slay and Jason for coming up with me tonight. Thank you very much, Logan. Our love to originality, you know, you have something special there and it's a good long way to continue. The best luck was the gigging, the best luck with the EP launch. Thanks for having us. And as I say, Jason, and own the best luck in Australia. Thank you very much. And if anybody's listening in Australia and you've got a spare bed, somebody could be there with you.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
