Juniper were an Irish rock band from County Kildare, most widely-known today as a precursor to Damien Rice and Bell X1. The band consisted of Rice (under the pseudonym Dodi Ma), Paul Noonan, Brian Crosby, Dominic Philips and David Geraghty. They released two extended plays, The J-Plane (1994) and Manna (1996).

The band's only two singles, "Weatherman" and "World Is Dead", charted in Ireland when released in 1998. Juniper also appeared on a compilation album, Natural Born Elvis (1998). They split over creative differences soon after, with Rice going on to have a successful solo career and the remaining members forming Bell X1.

History[link]

Early years (1991 – 1996)[link]

Juniper were founded in 1991 by Damien Rice, Paul Noonan, Dominic Philips and Brian Crosby whilst they were students attending Salesian College secondary school in Celbridge.There was a fifth member a female singer Lisa Thompson that joined for a 2 year period 1991 to 1992, contributing to lead vocals and backing vocals at the time.^[3][4] Noonan played the drums, Philips and Crosby played guitar, Rice performed vocals.^[3][5] Rice referred to himself as Dodi Ma during Juniper's existence.^[6][7][8] David Geraghty joined the band later.^[3] Geraghty's girlfriend was studying for her Leaving Certificate alongside Rice.^[9] Geraghty and Rice met first as the other members were in the United States after obtaining J-1 visas.^[9] Geraghty later recalled those days:

Geraghty contributed to the recording of the band's second EP Manna, released in 1996.^{[citation needed]}

Juniper's first television appearance was on Irish talent show Go For It where they performed a song called "Pillars of Society".^{[citation needed]}

In 1994 the band recorded and independently released an EP entitled The J-Plane and began performing in local bars, including The Kildrought Lounge in Celbridge.^{[citation needed]}

PolyGram (1997 - 1998)[link]

Juniper signed a six-album deal with PolyGram.^[10] The band began recording sessions at Windmill Lane Studios for single releases that year. Polygram were highly influential in the choice of the first single and pushed for the band to release their most radio-friendly tracks.^{[citation needed]}

Singles "Weatherman" and "World Is Dead" were successful chart entries in 1998.^[11] These were the only two singles the band released during their existence.^[3] "Weatherman" was released in February 1998, reaching number nine in the Irish Singles Chart and remaining in the chart for seven weeks. This was followed by "World Is Dead" in May, which fared less well and entered the Irish Singles Chart at number nineteen.^[12] Despite the positive chart standings and unprecedented live popularity,^[13] the critical response to the singles was quite poor in some quarters.^[8][14]

Rice later claimed in an interview with Yahoo that he had hoped to release fan-favourite "Eskimo" as the second single but that he had been effectively over-ruled by the label.^[15] Bootleg material suggests that a studio version of "Eskimo" was recorded during Juniper's Windmill Lane sessions along with a work in progress called "Volcano". That track was never released by Juniper but instead appeared in two new versions on Bell X1's debut album Neither Am I in 2000 (attributed to Crosby, Geraghty, Noonan, Philips and Rice) and later on Damien Rice's 2002 album O.

The end of Juniper (1998)[link]

Rice disagreed with the band's record label who wanted Juniper to produce "fast songs".^[4] He had written "Eskimo" after experiencing a period of sadness and frustration but the record company would not allow him to release it.^[4] This prompted Rice to quit the band.^[4] He moved to Tuscany in Italy to work on solo material.^[7] The planned album sessions in southern France were cancelled.^{[citation needed]} In an interview several years later Paul Noonan said there were "crisis talks" between the other members about what the future would hold.^[16]

The remaining band members opted to continue playing together as Bell X1 with Noonan now as their vocalist.^{[5][6][7][17]} Rice, meanwhile, has become a successful folk artist, most noted for his breakthrough album O which had sold more than two million copies by 2006.^[4] "Eskimo", written during his last days with Juniper and recorded with the band at Windmill Lane Studios, was the final track on that album.^[4][18] The Sunday Tribune's Matthew Magee called it "the song that would split Juniper up, that would be their artistic pinnacle, the song that would never be released by any Juniper member in its finest, glossiest, grandest incarnation, recorded at Windmill Lane Studios".^[18] Both Bell X1 and Damien Rice have recorded a song called "Volcano" which dates from Juniper and Bell X1's Music in Mouth album features "Tongue", a song on which Rice is credited as co-writer.^[4][8] Rice never credits Bell X1 with any of his songs.^[2]

While Ireland now notes Bell X1 and Damien Rice as separate artists, when the former tour the United States they are constantly reminded of Rice by the American media.^[19][20]

Junipers are coniferous plants in the genus Juniperus ( /dʒuːˈnɪpərəs/)^[1] of the cypress family Cupressaceae. Depending on taxonomic viewpoint, there are between 50-67 species of juniper, widely distributed throughout the northern hemisphere, from the Arctic, south to tropical Africa in the Old World, and to the mountains of Central America.

Description[link]

Cones and leaves of Juniperus communis

Junipers vary in size and shape from tall trees, 20–40 m tall, to columnar or low spreading shrubs with long trailing branches. They are evergreen with needle-like and/or scale-like leaves. They can be either monoecious or dioecious. The female seed cones are very distinctive, with fleshy, fruit-like coalescing scales which fuse together to form a "berry"-like structure, 4–27 mm long, with 1-12 unwinged, hard-shelled seeds. In some species these "berries" are red-brown or orange but in most they are blue; they are often aromatic and can be used as a spice. The seed maturation time varies between species from 6–18 months after pollination. The male cones are similar to those of other Cupressaceae, with 6-20 scales; most shed their pollen in early spring, but some species pollinate in the autumn.

Many junipers (e.g. J. chinensis, J. virginiana) have two types of leaves: seedlings and some twigs of older trees have needle-like leaves 5–25 mm long; and the leaves on mature plants are (mostly) tiny (2–4 mm long), overlapping and scale-like. When juvenile foliage occurs on mature plants, it is most often found on shaded shoots, with adult foliage in full sunlight. Leaves on fast-growing 'whip' shoots are often intermediate between juvenile and adult.

In some species (e. g. J. communis, J. squamata), all the foliage is of the juvenile needle-like type, with no scale leaves. In some of these (e.g. J. communis), the needles are jointed at the base, in others (e.g. J. squamata), the needles merge smoothly with the stem, not jointed.

The needle-leaves of junipers are hard and sharp, making the juvenile foliage very prickly to handle. This can be a valuable identification feature in seedlings, as the otherwise very similar juvenile foliage of cypresses (Cupressus, Chamaecyparis) and other related genera is soft and not prickly.

Juniper is the exclusive food plant of the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Bucculatrix inusitata and Juniper Carpet, and is also eaten by the larvae of other Lepidoptera species such as Chionodes electella, Chionodes viduella, Juniper Pug and Pine Beauty; those of the tortrix moth C. duplicana feed on the bark around injuries or canker.

Ashe Juniper (popularly called Cedar) in 'Mist lifting off cedars' by DJ Schulte

The number of juniper species is in dispute, with two recent studies giving very different totals, Farjon (2001) accepting 52 species, and Adams (2004) accepting 67 species. The junipers are divided into several sections, though (particularly among the scale-leaved species) which species belong to which sections is still far from clear, with research still on-going. The section Juniperus is an obvious monophyletic group though.

• Juniperus sect. Juniperus: Needle-leaf junipers. The adult leaves are needle-like, in whorls of three, and jointed at the base (see below right).
  • Juniperus sect. Juniperus subsect. Juniperus: Cones with 3 separate seeds; needles with one stomatal band.
    • Juniperus communis - Common Juniper
      • Juniperus communis subsp. alpina - Alpine Juniper
    • Juniperus conferta - Shore Juniper (syn. J. rigida var. conferta)
    • Juniperus rigida - Temple Juniper or Needle Juniper
  • Juniperus sect. Juniperus subsect. Oxycedrus: Cones with 3 separate seeds; needles with two stomatal bands.
    • Juniperus brevifolia - Azores Juniper
    • Juniperus cedrus - Canary Islands Juniper
    • Juniperus deltoides - Eastern Prickly Juniper
    • Juniperus formosana - Chinese Prickly Juniper

    • Juniperus navicularis - Portuguese Prickly Juniper
    • Juniperus oxycedrus - Western Prickly Juniper or Cade Juniper
    • Juniperus macrocarpa (J. oxycedrus subsp. macrocarpa) - Large-berry Juniper
  • Juniperus sect. Juniperus subsect. Caryocedrus: Cones with 3 seeds fused together; needles with two stomatal bands.
    • Juniperus drupacea - Syrian Juniper

• Juniperus sect. Sabina: Scale-leaf junipers. The adult leaves are mostly scale-like, similar to those of Cupressus species, in opposite pairs or whorls of three, and the juvenile needle-like leaves are not jointed at the base (including in the few that have only needle-like leaves; see below right). Provisionally, all the other junipers are included here, though they form a paraphyletic group.

Cultivation and uses[link]

Juniper berries are a spice used in a wide variety of culinary dishes and best known for the primary flavoring in gin (and responsible for gin's name, which is a shortening of the Dutch word for juniper, genever). Juniper berries are also used as the primary flavor in the liquor Jenever and sahti-style of beers. Juniper berry sauce is often a popular flavoring choice for quail, pheasant, veal, rabbit, venison and other meat dishes.

Many of the earliest prehistoric people lived in or near juniper forests which furnished them food, fuel, and wood for shelter or utensils. Many species, such as J. chinensis (Chinese Juniper) from eastern Asia, are extensively used in landscaping and horticulture, and as one of the most popular species for use in bonsai. It is also a symbol of longevity, strength, athleticism, and fertility.

Some junipers are susceptible to Gymnosporangium rust disease, and can be a serious problem for those people growing apple trees, the alternate host of the disease.

Some juniper trees are misleadingly given the common name "cedar," including Juniperus virginiana, the "red cedar" that is used widely in cedar drawers. True cedars are those tree species in the genus Cedrus, family Pinaceae.

In Morocco, the tar (gitran) of the arar tree (Juniperus phoenicea) is applied in dotted patterns on bisque drinking cups. Gitran makes the water more fragrant and is said to be good for the teeth.

American Indians, such as the Navajo, have traditionally used juniper to treat diabetes.^[3] Animal studies have shown that treatment with juniper may retard the development of streptozotocin-induced diabetes in mice.^[4] Native Americans also used juniper berries as a female contraceptive.^[5] The 17th Century herbalist physician Nicholas Culpeper recommended the ripened berries for conditions such as asthma and sciatica, as well as to speed childbirth.^[6]

Juniper berries are steam distilled to produce an essential oil that may vary from colorless to yellow or pale green. Some of its chemical components are alpha pinene, cadinene, camphene and terpineol.

Juniper in weave is a traditional cladding technique used in Northern Europe, e.g. at Havrå, Norway.^[7]
