The Leprechaun Tales!!


Samson Philip: Knock knock!! whose there?? Dorris!! Dorris who?? Door is open!! This is our instinctual intro to the man behind the thick strings of Solder. Meet Samson Philip, aka Dorris, aka Maggie, aka Sister, aka a whole lotta other names you'd call your BFF if you were a girl. Built on a frame that fits a live wire, our man Dorris is just that, a live wire, be it on stage, in jam or in his sojourn through life. Philip is a sound engineer by qualification and a multi talented musician who when approached by Solder to handle the Bass section of the band, he readily agreed. In his free time, Philip scores music for short films or any other media that requires music.
Influenced by the thrash scene of the 80s, Philip cites Metallica's first 4 albums as his reason to start playing music. That apart Philip also has a keen ear in the gospel music scene, listening to bands like Critical Mass, Switchfoot, Petra, and the such like.
Chipping in at times with his voice as a backing vocalist, Philip's vocal abilities allow the band to enter the adventurous zone of vocal harmonies, and in the process, layering the melody with different vocal parts!!
Being the only smoker in the band, Philip draws the wrath of the others in the band when he lights up. But heck who cares, smoke that cigarette and kill those fellas Philip!!
Cheers to the Thick Strings,
And thank you for smoking!!:)
