On their way to winning Clare People Interactive’s Clare Artists of the Year for 2008, Lisdoonvarna hardcore two-piece Drugzilla received votes from every corner of the globe. Andrew Hamilton chats to frontman The Human Jigsaw about the release of their debut album and their triumphant return home.
It’s one thing making music in your bedroom - tip-toeing your way through samples and sound-bites, piecing together your own private opus. But it’s something altogether different to take that sound on the road. After years building a large underground following around the world, Lisdoonvarna experimental hardcore outfit Drugzilla have decided to put their heads on the block. Leaving the comfortable haunts of myspace and iTunes behind (at least for a while) they are finally ready to show themselves to the world. Now, after successful gigs in the UK, Cork and Dublin, Drugzilla are ready for the real test - a night in front of their home crowd. “We played our first real gig in Dublin, which was back at the start of last year, and then we were offered a few bigger gigs over in the UK. One was a festival called I Hate Trance with some of the best extreme artists in Europe. We just went all out for that - we dressed up in stupid masks and made sure that people wouldn’t forget us any time soon,” says The Human Jigsaw.
