Biography

There are multiple artists called Southpaw.
1. a Czech band inspired by British guitar bands and especially by the legendary The Smiths.
The latter is a group of high school students started a band in 1996. They borrowed their name from Morrissey’s famous record “Southpaw Grammar” and adopted foreign pseudonyms. And so vocalist Gregory Finn, guitarist Rodriguez Finn, bass guitarist Jacquez Tosh, drummer David Kerpow and last but not least flutist Majda appeared on the scene.

The band threw their first “strictly” guitar gigs at the nowadays legendary clubs 007, Batalion and Belmondo. The mid 90’s; however, marked the beginning of the end of psychedelic guitar era. Southpaw came up with destroying computer keyboards during their performances. They became one of the pioneering bands of the scene starting to implement electronic music elements into their tracks .

Tracks such as “Dustman’s Dream” (1998) or “Ballet!” (1999) emerged in the previously progressive mp3 format and were released on Indies Records. The band accommodated itself on the waves of Radio 1 after launching “Goodbye Planet” and “Air Somewhere”, their gigs gaining attendance of an increasing number of fans who grew up with the dance scene.

In 2001 the story continues as the keyboardist Karzi joined the band and gradually became Gregory Finn’s main composing partner. Following the band’s contract with EMI, their first debut album Pop Secret was released on the EMI’s subsidiary Escape.
