Description
Eight years, seven singles, three albums, three bass players, two drummers and God knows how many shows later Zig Zags has continually evolved, mutated, transitioned and transformed, rising again and again, like a phoenix emerging from the flame.
The addition of the newest member of our triumviratemulti-instrumentalist, designated bassist (and longtime Zig Zags sound engineer) Sean Hoffmanrecalls those golden moments past, when destiny stepped in, like when Neil Peart joined Rush or Bob Rock teamed up with Metallica. In short – the circle is now complete, the cornerstone has been set and the winged serpent risesonce again.
Some say its luck, but really, its about patience. A band is like a relationship. You have to know when to push, and when to hold back. You gotta listen and you gotta learn. We look to the masters. Like Henry and Glenn, weve gone from drinking hooch to pumpin iron. We quit smoking. Two of us are married, for chrissakes! After 2017s brutal European tour, which left us coughing blood and taking names, we sought out Lemmys Doctor (Feel Good), who diagnosed us withRocknroll Pneumonia. Like Lemmy, we were pushing too hard. And if you push too hard youll end up in an apartment above The Rainbow Room, playing video poker on Christmas Eve (which is also your birthday)…but thats another story.
This album, our first with Riding Easy, was written over the last year. Its reveals our longtime roots, our enduring love (all hail!) to the early punk of our hero(ines) Dead Moon and The Wipers (forever!)… but friends, dont be mislead, this is a metal recordof the true blue, headbangin, riff-ridin, no-bullshit-kind.
