Details

primo biker fuzz from members of sunburned hand of the man, hush arbors, and wooden wand & the vanishing voice. "gone" is full of l-o-n-g jams that bring to mind such wild ones as german oak, magic muscle and foggy dreams of the stooges moonlighting as a hawkwind tribute band during the off season, it could also have come from bristol in the late 90's!

DEEP ONE-PERCENTER SCUZZ DAMAGE FROM THE ZODIACS (AKA ZODIAC SPEEDCREEP), MEMBERS; CLAY RUBY, EZEKIEL BLACKOUTS III (AKA KEITH WOOD) AND GRIM JIM GYPSY (AKA JAMES TOTH). ZODIACS INTERVIEWED BY JANI HELL?N FOR FOXY DIGITALIS FOXY DIGITALIS: HOW DID THE ZODIACS COME ABOUT? GRIM JIM GYPSY: CLAY, KEITH AND I GOT BORED PLAYING THE SAME EIGHT WOODEN WAND SONGS ON TOUR TO EMPTY ROOMS, SO WE STARTED THIS BAND MID-TOUR AS A WAY TO SHAKE OFF THE DOLDRUMS. FD: TELL SOMETHING ABOUT THE RECORDING PROCESS. WAS EVERYTHING TOTALLY IMPROVISED OR DID YOU MADE SOME PLANS BEFOREHAND? GJG: EVERYTHING WAS IMPROVISED, WE JUST DECIDED ON WHAT KEY WE WERE GONNA PLAY IN. EZEKIAL BLACKOUTS: I HAD TO FIGURE OUT A KEY THAT I COULD PLAY IN; WHEN YOU?RE WASTED D & E SOUND REAL GOOD. FD: IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN GIVE SOME INFO ABOUT YOUR EQUIPMENT FOR ALL THOSE GEAR GEEKS WHO HAPPEN TO STUMBLE ACROSS FOXY DIGITALIS. GJG: TUBES PREFERRED BUT NOT NECCESARY. TOO MANY PEOPLE GET HUNG UP ON GEAR AND CAN?T PLAY FOR SHIT. IF TONY IOMMI, RANDY RHOADS, TED NUGENT OR JOE WALSH CAME TO YOUR HOUSE AND PICKED UP A UKULELE, THEY'D RIP YOUR FUCKING FACE OFF WITH IT AND MELT ALL YOUR RICH KID ORANGE GEAR.
