Lora Logic (Essential Logic, X-Ray Spex)

Performance Anxiety

This episode features singer and saxophonist Lora Logic and it’s a wild story. It actually begins with her mother’s escape from her rural Finnish farm upbringing. It shaped how she raised Lora. But it was that farm where Lora felt most happy. She talks about going through several instruments before she fell in love with the sax. And then there’s her creepy sax teacher who made her really uncomfortable but pushed her into busking and improvising. She joined X-Ray Spex but was canned before the first album was released.

She released the first Essential Logic single and that is QUITE a story! After living the rock and roll lifestyle, having an epileptic fit, and having an out of body experience, she left music completely. Well, not exactly. She DID perform with the band Juggernaut after becoming a Hare Krishna.

Her return to music has been one of reformation. Initially with X-Ray Spex and then Essential Logic. She’s released a box set of EVERYTHING she’s ever done! You can’t get more comprehensive than that. She’s also released a wonderful new Essential Logic album called Land Of Kali. Follow her @essentiallogicofficial & @lora.logic on Instagram.
