_______________________________________________________________ Peklectrick Peklectrick is the name of the studio-based solo project of former dripht guitarist Patrick Galea. Following in the traditions of Bob Marley, the Clash, Linton Kwesi Johnson and Rage against the Machine, Peklectrick mixes grievances with grooves to present an eclectic brand of guitar-driven protest music containing elements of rock, reggae, blues and funk, a punk rock ethos and a tongue in cheek. Surreally speaking, it is the sound of the Clash meeting Beck in Jamaica to discuss the blues over some scotch. The music is what award-winning producer David Vella referred to as ‘so cool it’s almost illegal’. Peklectrick has released his debut album ‘Reclaiming Space’ in 2007. The album comprises ten rhythmic and energetic tracks, varying in styles from anything between dub and rock. From the funky retro feel of ‘Six strings’ to the sunny chops of ‘Camara Reggae’ the variety of songs represent the essence of the project which put simply is just a Patrick being eclectic. The tracks are articulated in a laid back, speech-like vocal delivery that is introspective as much as it is agitative. Lyrically, the songs deal with a variety of socio-political themes, with topics ranging from global justice issues in songs like ‘World Trade Blues’ and ‘ASAP’ to the ironic treatment of the local political scene in ‘Jerry Wonders’. This somewhat serious lyrical content is contrasted by a playful approach to the recording process, opening up a world of sampled guitar cases, percussive use of office supplies and a general delight in using squeaks, coughs and other noises to compliment and enhance the music. The project’s inception came about half way through 2004 when right after launching the Dripht EP, which featured the award winning local hit ‘Mark Barnsley’, he parted ways with the rest of the band in pursuit of a recording-centred solo career. The parting of ways was, however, only partial, as the rhythm section of dripht enthusiastically pogoed its way on ‘Reclaiming Space’ as special guest musicians. Michael Briguglio, plays the drums on all songs while il-Fre plays the low notes on March/March. The album was recorded at Temple Studios, in various sessions between July 2006 and April 2007 and is produced, engineered and mixed by David Vella. Other guest musicians include Julian Grech from Frenzy Mono who delivers kinky keys on ‘World Trade Blues’ and Jonathan Abela who slides the trombone on ‘Camara Reggae’ and ‘Reclaiming Space’. For further information and/or samples of the music visit www.peklectrick.com Peklectrick has recently teamed up with il-Fre (ex-Dripht, ex-I Skandal) to form The Boogatones, a two-man dub/reggae outfit that indulges in relaxed rhythms and offers grooves aplenty.
