artist story:
do not run! do not take cover! - the bombs being dropped down on you haven’t been delivered by a hurricane air force bomber – this is lock down and they are the crushing disciples of stealth funk, with their weapons of infectious groove and melody aimed right at you, it isn’t hard to recognise that they have been designed to put your mind and body deep into lock down mode.
the big new deal on the music scene is breathing life back into the fashion conscious generations desperate to party like nothing else matters but the groove. and getting a grip of this groove is like booking a ticket to the greatest funk pop/rock show on earth. a show where you cannot deny your impulses to hear, see and feel all that’s present before you. remind yourself this is what you want and have always wanted to hear, see and feel in one band.
lock down got on a roll in the later part of 2007 when charismatic and notorious front man damien gouder in-scripted the services of specialist funk and groove drummer / producer christophe hoggomat who was already gaining somewhat of a reputation with his unique production skills know as “the french touch”. damien then reunited with the outrageous showman talent of big bass specialist jon farquharson who had performed with him in the famed new zealand underground band omega dawn. after settling on this dynamite rhythm section the now trio then enlisted another diamond from off shore new zealand with guitarist dave “animal” penman whose name had been appearing to many times in conversation to ignore offering him a trial. and one trial was all it took for dave to seal his position with all members welcoming him into the lock down family.
not single minded in vision but a match made in music heaven, lock down, will confront, absorb and tantalise your music senses until you cannot deny what you so long to do …… surrender to the beat, surrender to the melody and ultimately surrender to lock down and yourself.
