Lawrence Greenman performs at the Electric Ballroom with his band G.O.D featuring Carlos Bonell on the 16th of April 2009.
He is truely a phenominom growing out of the violently wounded animal known as the music industry.
In 2005 he released his debut a conceptual thrash techno punk album otherwise known as 'Jew Drops from Heaven'.There were no holds barred on this album the social commentry was intense and non withholding fueled by heavy driving guitars and a demonic singing tone .His idea being to reinvent God as a rock and Roll star criticising advertising, theology , education , pop culture and mans very existance to name but a few !
After the big success of his debut on the net he then released two albums on the same date December 25th 2007 (Christmas Day !) one a follow up rock/pop type and the other a fully blown opera/classical voice album ! So wait a moment whilst I digest ; one minute he is writing and recording tracks like the hard hitting Born for the State ,(which seems to scream out at the almost communist nation which he infers Britain is becoming with the social security paid masses.). Whilst conversly, going into the studio to record Beethoven and Vaughn Williams covers sung conventionaly with his powerful Bass Barritone voice ! I,m sorry ,forgive me for being inpurtanent but is this a first ? Surely no one has released two such diverse albums on the same day ? This guy is truely making a name for himself as the Jekyl and Hyde of the industry one minute breathing Beethoven the next spousing Learyesque lyrics to a heavy thrash guitar driven background!
When I asked Lawrence why he wanted to produce such polemical musical styles he replied "because differences devide and the music is no different.".
Whether by that he means that he wants to bring people together via musical unity and that divisions are clearly visable through social stratification and peoples musical tastes; Or that he just simply doesn't care ;I don't know but I did find the answer conjured up open ended ideas on seperation in my mind .
So whats next for the Greenman ? He replied " I have just finished my live solo guitar Album (Necromanscer 2) within I play from Bach to Zepplin and am currently recording a Dance stroke Classical Album for release at the Electric Ballroom on the 16th of April in Camden Town With the nylon string virtuoso, proffesor Carlos Bonell . I think these are exciting times when you can break down the massive social devides between Dance ,opera and thrash ".
If you wish to Hear G.O.D.s latest release live tickets are available from Ticketweb.com and Seetickets or on his fabled website lawrencegreenman.com . I certainly shall be watching his progress with great endevour!
