from the band's MYSPACE page...
Libidoswitch are a three strong head charge borne of the fires of 3
seperate rock entities, NYC's 'SUKATASH, Spain's 'KLAM, and Derry's
'MILQUETOAST'. Through many years of slogging it out on the various
circuits the three, Andy, Squintdawg, and Adrian felt that their time
within those power units had come to a close, and a shared passionate
interest in the 'alternative' and 'metal' subgenres brought them together
to form LIBIDOSWITCH in early '03. In the beginning the basic balls-to-the-walls
rock roots were wholly evident in the first original material put together
by the band, but soon the fires within were burning a new fuse and their
brand of 'Alternative metal' began to combust.... The gigging began
in the summer of '03, with audiences mainly consisting of friends, and
friends of friends, until the musical style took a dramatic turn, bringing
with it an audience there for the music and not simply as a favour.
Examples of how the band has transformed musically can be heard on their
first E.P., 'Dodgy Gear', with the title itself born out of mockery
of the equipment used on the recording! The E.P. did reasonably well,
and garnered a small but loyal following locally. Times changed and
the musical understanding between the members intensified, allowing
them to create short bursts of aggressive creative energy, short, sharp
kick in the balls, no frills tunes. The standard is set, and the intensity
of the music continues to increase right up the present. Only witnessing
the band live can one truly taste the electricity they generate together.
Currently sparring for gigs, (as only bands who survive on the fringes
of the mainstream can understand) and ever ready to play, LIBIDOSWITCH
continue their sensory assault wherever given the chance to wreak havoc!
'Under the influence' is the latest, if not small, contribution to a
growing scene from a band made of true believers, for believers.
Can't say fairer than that.
