Zen Frisbee: "Good Enough"
| Mp3 - Chatham County Volunteer | |
"Amer-Indie/post punk garage rock. Spikey and delicate rock overdrive." Rockpool
"I was captivated. These guys are unreal." Juice
"Legendary now-you-see-'em-now you-don't Chapel Hill commune." Fred Mills / Jet Lag
These long lasting, slacker survivors epitomize the Chapel Hill sound, which you hear as they rip through 20 plus tunes on their brand new full-lengther titled "Good Enough." Trio members Kevin Dixon and Brian Walker offer clever, gratuitous guitar/bass mayhem fueled by indie-garage-punk humor, cynicism and delirium. Noise and silliness predominate as drummer Chuck Garrison (Superchunk's original drummer) powers the way through favored old hits with assistance from members of Southern Culture on the Skids, Squirrel Nut Zippers and the Flat Duo Jets. Guests from bands such as Shark Quest, Trailer Bride, Family Dollar Pharaohs and Clarissa also assist.
If you appreciated their first CD "I'm as Mad as Faust" you'll agree that this; their latest recording is indeed "Good Enough."

ZEN FRISBEE - 35,000,000
B.C. (CD, Fire Ant, Pop/rock)
All the cool independent labels aren't in California and
Washington. Case in point is Charlotte's slightly obscure Fire
Ant...a tiny label dedicated to putting out music they believe
in. Zen Frisbee is a hard band to categorize. The band's
music teeters in and out of guitar instrumentals, garage rock,
hard rock, and pop. They bite off a lot with this release...no
less than twenty-one tunes, and there's really not a clunker in
the bunch. Along the way guest artists appear from some VERY WELL
KNOWN BANDS (whose names I won't mention here). It's this band's
zest for their music and their energetic approach which makes
this a very entertaining listen. Our fave cuts are
"Masterpiece Theater," "Chatham Co.
Volunteers," and "Bad Monkey." It may take a bit
of searching to find this, but it'll be worth the effort.
