MySpace Editor by Rasheed RichmondNellboy has just moved to Montreal, QC from Cork, Ireland and has been making music on his computer for around 3 years. Before that, he was a guitarist in a rock band. And like Bryan Adams after the summer of 69, when his band split up, he decided to go solo. However, unlike Bryan Adams, he now makes electronic music, skirting the borders of electro, techno, house, glitch, pulse, minimal, punk/rock, and dub while not committing fully to any one style. A multi-instrumentalist, his set is 100% original material with live vocals, guitar, and melodica with FX, along with much tweaking of knobs and pushing of buttons, with one aim, to rock the joint!!!Over the past year and a half, he has gone from strength to strength and has grown in confidence at every step, playing extensively in all of Ireland's favourite electro clubnights. And he now hopes to do the same in Montreal and further afield. He has released some material with Dublin based label SeedyR, and will no doubt release more material in the future, but for now, he remains focused on the live set.

Sounds Like: "It's better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted or you'll be too afraid to let things keep happening. Psychology destroys the mystery, this kind of magic quality. It can be reduced to certain neuroses or certain things, and since it is now named and defined, it's lost its mystery and the potential for a vast, infinite experience." - David Lynch
