Tragic O’Hara

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator I was named after my uncle Thomas O'Hara who was nicknamed Tragic on account of nothing ever worked out too well for him. He was born on a warm November night in 1929 and died playing Russian Roulette by himself on his birthday in 1986, the same year i was born. Needless to say a number of interesting and unlikely events happened during his 57 years in God's waiting room. Im happy to say i'm a nobody pretending to be somebody because i would just die if i was a somebody pretending to be a nobody. Murderbeat Studios/Insomnia Workshop is in my bedroom so now the pun makes a bit more sense.

Sounds Like: The hangover Jim Morrison had the night after he was sipping turps out of glass slipper left in Robert Johnson's mansion 27 miles from the same coast that Tom Waits set sail across the 8 seas in a raft fashioned out of coffee stained hub caps and a thirteen string guitar that the LeadBelly estate tried to sell to Kurt Cobain on the same sunny november night that Nick Cave was caught trying to steal a cigarette from Hunter S. Thompson when he went to the bathroom and found Bob Dylan lying face down in a copy of Naked Lunch that was handcuffed to his foot.

"I've had the copy of the album for a few weeks now and it's been a permanent fixture in my CD player."
"Tragic sets himself as a desperate troubadour telling tales of death, despair and alcoholism but even though the material is so dark, there is always a feeling throughout the album that salvation and redemption are just around the corner."
My First Music
"Above The Below hosts the song writing ability to create the foot tapping rhythm of The Coral as well as to manufacture the soulful emptiness of Richard Ashcroft."
"highlights such as Running Back To Me’s driving beat and Dead Man Walking’s heartfelt vocals give the album momentum."
Button Thief Magazine
"It’s bluesy, with a touch of desperation and a whole chunk of earnest, old-fashioned talent."
Tarty Tart
Love shack, Baby
"Take a listen to this one, damn this man is in the groove! Make sure you listen all the way through… towards the end he really lets loose on it and it’s soul-wrenching, honesty."
Tarty Tart on Wolves at the Door.
