Stephen Hero, named after the first draft of
James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man, was essentially a solo project of former
Kitchens of Distinction bassist/vocalist
Patrick Fitzgerald. Employing fellow Kitchens guitarist
Julian Swales and ex-
Primal Scream and
Weather Prophets drummer/programmer Dave Morgan,
Fitzgerald released the Landed EP on his own Ragoora Records in late 2000. The
Lullaby EP followed in May of 2001. ~ Andy Kellman
