ABOUT MEDOLLIC

Medollic is songwriter/vocalist Lix North, songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer James North, and drummer Steve Pope.

 

In 2007, with guitar and a handful of songs in tow, Lix moved from New Zealand to Brisbane, Australia where she, James and Steve began arranging, recording and writing more of what would become Medollic’s critically acclaimed debut 10 track album, ‘Dollhouse’.

 

Medollic is one of those rare equations that’s as much about chemistry as it is mathematics. Multi-instrumentalist producer James tracked and produced the entire album in his studio in Brisbane. James is responsible for the Dollhouse album arrangements, parts and performance of electric and acoustic guitar, bass, keys and percussion. Lyricist Lix takes care of the vocal melodies, sharing the composing duties with James. Steve crafts the unique rhythmic personality for every song and his creativity as a drummer plays a pivotal role in Medollic’s sound.

In 2010 on the strength of the Dollhouse album Medollic reached #1 on the MySpace Australia Indie charts, won the SonicBids stipend for City Showcase (UK/NZ) and after their City Showcase performance, went on to be Sonicbids’ Indie Pick of the Week (13/12/2010). Dollhouse has received rave reviews from Paige X. Cho (reviewer for FasterLouder.com.au, MTV, Rollingstone AU), Nimrodstreet.com (Florida, USA), Audicaocritica.com.br (BRAZIL), IndependentMediaMag.com (NYC, USA), Britpopnews.com/PlasticHassle (UK) and Mojoradio.us (USA).

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Underneath the world, in the Land of the Long White Cloud, there lived a guitar, a girl and a pervicacious imagination. They drew the days, wrote the nights into songs and sheltered in the twixt of dreams and the elusive real.

 

One day, beyond the great sea, they came upon two boys. One with a room filled with wondrous instruments and hands that knew how to play them. The other whose simple wooden sticks could make the world turn in time. The girl laughed because she thought they were magnificent! She began to speak to them in haste of ‘melodic’ things but her lips tripped on the word and what fell out instead was “Medollic”.
