About Me

............
John William McCorwell is the son of McCorwell of the McCorwell Petroleum Industries in Texas. Unfortunately, the first overwhelming, addictive love of his life was for slot machines and sports cars. As a result of this, he lost his fortune and turned to music for survival. He was playing bass guitar in a Country Cover band, and during a gig in a lousy one-horse town in the middle of Texas, he met Vladek Lemka. Round Rock December 2003 was to change his life for ever.
Vladek was an immigrant from Armenia who had worked for the Government. He claimed he was able to explain the molecular structure of bionic intrusions in semi-conductor alloys with the radiation effect from the planet Titan. He was treated like an idiot and fired on the spot.
John and Vladek talked their way trough a number of vodka-martini shots and decided to start their own group together.
They had Vladeks guitar an electronic stuff and Delphine, Johns Bass guitar, but they desperately needed a drummer.
They searched around fot the best they could find.
They finally met Djool, a mystical shaman, who was living in an Indian tribe located in the Lost Eagles Valley.
Djools past history wasnt exactly clear, and could almost be described as shady.
After a somewhat lengthy consultation with the spirits, Djool accepted to join the project with Vladek and John.
Although, after many successfull collaborations, Djool has been called back home by the holy spirits of the Valley.
The new drummer had to appear as quickly as possible and this is exactly what happend.
Coming from Sweden flying his ULM machine over the swiss mountains, Barjavel was soon to crash on the roof of John's garden house. As soon as Barjavel escaped from the ULM, he immediately went to check his precious load of Genepi. John, annoyed by the noise while watching porn movies went out furiousely in the garden to see what was going on, but he quickly became calm again when Barjavel talked about the load of Genepi.
This is the moment Vladek arrived at John's place for their weekly Super Mario Kart tournament: Bowser vs Yoshi.
The three began to drink the Genepi bottles while talking about the accident, and after several bottles, Barjavel started to hit everything that was around the place with his hands, and suprisingly in rythm. Suddenly the answer was clear: Barjavel was the new drummer!
The band was now completed, and the three began to play their own compositions. they are now to be seen somewhere in the middle of the Alps, halfway up a mountain, and answer to the name of Lemka.The band was now completed, and the three began to play their own compositions. they are now to be seen somewhere in the middle of the Alps, halfway up a mountain, and answer to the name of Lemka.
With its roots to be found in post-rock, disco and electro, Lemka is from another world, where groove is like oxygen. Lemka hits you with essentially instrumental rock with a tendency to sudden explosions of guitar. A powerful group with ectron-power-rock style.
