band profiles
NoMatrix NoMatrix also hail from Athlone and have been together for 4
years or so in one form or another. The stable backbone of the band
has been John on guitar and vocals and Hugh on bass with varying
second guitarists and drummers in between. They recorded their debut
EP 2 years or so ago and it sold pretty well. They embarked on a
European tour in the Summer of 2002 but the band fell apart half way
through. Not to be hindered they carried on and now seem to have a
very steady line-up with Stephen from Evil Elviss also playing with
them and Eamon drumming. They have their second EP recorded and mix
it next week. It will be out just in time for their Irish tour in
support of German band Lone who NoMatrix and no ego are bringing
over for 10 days to tour the length and breadth of the country in
June.
Global Assault Global Assault are from Longford Town and are Darragh on guitar
and vocals, Neil on bass, Mark on guitar & Killian on drums.
They play lots of metal covers as well as some of their own heavy
rocking tunes. They have played gigs in Dublin, Longford, Roscommon,
Sligo and of course Paddy’s on many occasions as well as at the
Longford and Cavan biker festivals over the last year.. They
recorded a 3 or 4 song demo a while ago but never made it available.
They have been relatively quiet recently and there is nothing in the
pipeline for the foreseeable future. Let’s hope they keep it
together.
