Zorak Unplugged

Click to Play

The place was New Paltz, NY. The year was 2006. The band was Fnord and the sound was dark, progressive sludge rock. I was the oldest member of the band at 23. The other guys were still in high school. Our singer also played trumpet which he lit on fire at some of our live gigs. We'd close our shows with a Henry Mancini (by way of John Zorn) cover. Our originals had titles based on The X Files, The Jerky Boys and Space Ghost.

Today was the first time in 12 years that I've played one of those songs with my old guitarist. He was passing through my neck of the woods and we just had to bust out the acoustics and jam on Zorak: King of the Mantis People.

The Country Bears Rock the Park

The Country Bears of Nova Scotia are the Bay Area's best acoustic rock cover band. Yesterday they played in the panhandle bandshell in Golden Gate Park. The bandshell was built from entirely recycled materials such as car hoods, plastic water bottles, computer motherboards and redwood doors by a bunch of burning man people as a gift to the city. Here the Bears rock out an Iron Maiden medley of Hallowed be thy Name and The Trooper.
