About Me

News...
The current selection of songs are raw pre-production home demos of some shiny new individuals currently enjoying intrepid studio evolution at James North Productions. The debut Medolic album has begun its descent into the tangible, and will be downloadable on iTunes and available as a touchable clutchable digipak work of art in its own right. Brand spanking new Medolic, pressed and prepared for your ears, eyes and hands. Don't be afraid...
Bio...
Medolic is the conception of New Zealand born, Brisbane claimed, artist and songwriter Lix Bacskay (pronounced batch-koy).
Tired and uninspired by the righteous removed from the real, Lix draws lyrical pictures incomparable yet not dissimilar to great narrative artists such as Springsteen, Presley, Cash and Mitchell. Influenced by poetic liberators like Buckley, Yorn, Fanning and G. A. Richards, she crafts a-typical stories of her own human-ness with their feet in the everyday and their eyes on an ever changing horizon. The sound itself tip-toes its way between the footsteps of rock and blues revolutionaries, teetering on the edge of the deeper and darker, remembering all the while its country upbringing.
History...
Born in '78, Lix grew up in relative rural isolation and with the perception that to express herself visually and audibly was as obligatory as breathing. While it was the visual arts in which she submersed herself for the first 25 years of her life, it was the music she constantly sought out and fell for that would draw her out of her paintings and into the world.
Ever the linguist and with a sometimes frustrating habit of thinking and speaking in the clumsy poetic, it is only very recently that Lix picked up a guitar and found the key.
Medolic was conceived in 2005, with conscience and without foregone conclusions. Nothing More, an acoustic demo recorded at James North Productions (Brisbane), is already catching the attention of watchful industry eyes. Further studio adventures have commenced, stay tuned.... all will be revealed in the 'soon'.
