The Drugzilla Podcast

CPI Archive 2008

In early 2008, Andrew Hamilton spoke to London based Lisdoonvarna musician, The Human Jigsaw, about the massive success of his speedcore outfit, Drugzilla.  

LISDOON is famous for a lot of things. There’s the wells, drenched in the slow sticky stench of sulphur and chalybeate. Then there’s the matchmaking, with its dancing and cajoling, and the sweet molasses scent of the porter in the taps. Then, of course, there is also the real festival — the one with Christy and Rory Gallagher, and yes, I suppose, its fair share of porter too. The latest shot at success to emerge from Lisdoonvarna, however, is flavoured with the sickly sweet taste of Buckfast, and despite already boasting a huge worldwide audience, has gone largely unnoticed in Ireland. In the 12 short months since Lisdoonvarna duo The Human Jigsaw and Manimal came together to form Drugzilla, the pair have collected a huge following through Myspace, and all this before they play a single gig or release so much as an EP. “The whole thing has been a huge surprise. We started it as a laugh to just see how things would go and then, the next thing we know, there are more than 20,000 friends on Myspace and 50,000 listens. It’s great. We just have to see how far we can take it,” says The Human Jigsaw.
