   The fourth single CD (2-4 song DEMO) entitled, "Speed of light/*Lets

 Get Away/*Permanent Access/*Friend".  One rock-roll song that keeps

 hittin' hard, "Speed of light", a fancy and light tribute to travel and travel-

 ling with style.  The song is the latest form of Guitarzan Vs. Bazzilla

 frequency evolution.  This song, coupled with a myriad of other rockers-

     The first CD (2-song DEMO) from GUITARZAN VS. BAZZILLA

 featuring DRUMASAURUS REX! entitled, "You and You and You/Blink".

 Minnesota initially for the "Beerbug from Chicken Katsu Records", it turned

 out to be another song that went on the "Kintama Boxers Compilation" on

 Chicken Katsu records Okinawa, Japan. It is coupled with an attacking

version of "Blink" -one of  the band's ol' standbys (rarely played now) -an opening guitar scrape riff that sets up

a barrage of guitar swirl Fender twin style!

     2.  Hooker                                                (4:08)

 A set of Louisiana type backwoods snarl complete with distorted vocals,

 a smell of the bayou eminating foul stench, and one of the craziest guitar

 boogie-woogie shuffles to hit digital conversion!  Let's Play twister a

 mid-tempo rocker with a full-on stomp and alligator growls!  Then comes 

 the ZZ-meets-John Lee-meets-Spaceman 3 jam in all its distorted glory!

 (Both tunes are rarely played live).  Produced by Joe Hastings and

 recorded at Albatross Studios in Minneapolis, Minnesota. engineered by Mike Wisti.   

 

 

     The third single CD (2-song DEMO) entitled, "Permanent Access,

 Let's get away".  A cyber rock into garage rock set of tunes that

 are out of this world!  The song, "Permanent Access opens with a

 blistering bass intro then another bass overdub comes in playing the

 same line in unison-the unfolds into an eruptive instrumental played

 at almost every "GUITARZAN" show!  The second song, "I wanna

 get away", is a bonafide garage rocker complete with distorted guitars

 and a little bit of  f**k this attitude! 

 Tracks:

     2.  Let's get away                                        (3:12)

                                                        16.  Blue                                                        (5:08)

      The mood of the album flows from drive-in theater type flash, straight out stompy-rock, and space-music

 that sets up many differing sounds and Terran type ambience that brings genre-bending to an extreme -all with

 a lo-fi feel!  This is an album for party transit. The album takes you on a journey to the southwestern United States

 outside Rachel, Nevada, where on Highway 375 (a.k.a. the Extra-terrestrial highway), traveling from Rachel

 appr. 35 miles along Highway 375 you are approaching Nellis Air Force base where there is one of many Terran

 bases set up for Extraterrestrial "tourism".  Produced by Joe Hastings and recorded at Albatross studios by Mike

 Wisti in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Evolute! Productions (mobile unit), Amsterdam, Netherlands.  There are

17 tracks (16 listed) all of them add a different mood ring to the already incense smell of the inside of your transit

vehicle or craft.  The album has more rock and roll stompers than it does space-outs, so listen carefully, drive safe,

and don't trip and drive!

limited number of copies were made.  It might still be in print from the

    The second full length release entitled "Zetarock", the band starts to

 venture way out!  The mostly instrumental, ambient, space rock-n-

 roll of the releases, as it opens with a song called "Permanent Access",

 it brings out the questions, "What level of manipulation is television bringing

 to Terran consciousness?", also, "Did the United States of America use 

 television programming to win the cold war in the space-race? 

 Tracks:

     1.  Permanent Access                         (2:15)

     2.  They all live underground               (8:23)

     3.  A new friend?                               (1:08)

     4.  Zetarock                                       (6:32)

                                                          5.  Do you like chicken?                   (12:33)

                                                          6.  Permanent Denial                           (4:06)

                                                          7.  Star play star circus                        (5:55)

                                                          8.  Song for Alaina / Blue                     (5:55)

                                                          9.  Restricted Access                           (1:36)

     Whatever the answer may be, the flow shifts immediately to DJ Shadow type middle groove traveling in and

outta flows and textures resulting in a type of journey that is inward rather than outward into the material world. 

This album is a full concept continuation of "Extraterrestrial Highway", begging the question, "Is there any other

life forms not on this earth?, "If they (aliens) exist how come I haven't seen one?", "Why is this album so f**kin' cool?" 

All of these and many other questions are answered right here in this...Zetarock.      

 

 

 

     The second Chicken Katsu Records compilation release entitled,

 "World Famous Kintama Boxers".  With one song from Guitarzan Vs.

 Bazzilla featuring Drumasaurus Rex! This is an awesome compilation

 featuring a version of "What is evolution", Not yet released on any

 other Guitarzan Vs. Bazzilla featuring Drumasaurus Rex recordings! 

 Chicken Katsu records has amassed an amazing collection of the

 RAREST tracks anywhere around Terra!  This compilation was

 4 or 5 full years (Earth) rotations in the making. Weldon Cartel, the

 Beerbug, and a cast of literally 50+ people put in some serious time and

 delivered some sweet punches to anyone who cares for some noise pop

 love and punishment!   www.chickenkatsu.com

 

 

    A full length release entitled, "The Streets of Acid", this album comes from

 the Terminal Bar shows where Guitarzan Vs. Bazzilla featuring Drumasaurus

 Rex! would invite a few "human" friends to join G.V.B.F.D.R. to open the

 show with the band being named "THE STREETS OF ACID".  A concept

 of no communication before the show between the participants of what

 songs/sound would be made, total improvistaion made warm and fresh.

 Tracks: 

     1.  The Streets of acid                (4:47)

     2.  It's under the hood                (5:44)

     3.  ANTICIPATION                (3:43)

     4.  Cantina band                        (1:52)

                                                          5.  Slaps in the night                   (6:31)

                                                          6.  SHADOW                           (4:39)

                                                          7.  Gotta keep up'                      (8:51)

This album was recorded straight to 2" magnetic tape then split-second bounced and mixed live to CD-R.  It was 

mixed and recorded "on the fly" by Mike Wisti at Albatross Studios , Minneapolis, Minnesota 

 

 

    From minimalist to all encompassing waves of frequencies-tension

 and release comes, "Lajamanu" an ambient escapade of Shivaji, a Yogan 

 didgeridoo entity vs. Guitarzan with Drumasaurus Rex!  This is a full and

 rich sounding album, like a school of blue whales rumbling through the

 ocean floor.  Track one starts out with a tease flow, "Lajamanu" into

 a myriad of  liquid rumbles known as "Wamambool"  full streams of

 consciousness with overt expression. 

 Tracks:   1.  Lajamanu                         (1:57)

               2.  Wamambool                     (8:39)

               3.  Life is love                        (5:17)

               4.  Terra                                (1:04)

                                                                     5.  Yulara (Ayers rock)          (4:19)

                                                                     6.  Kiribati                             (8:23)

                                                                     7.  SAHASRA                      (18:30) 

 

This recording is an approach in progression, instrumentation, experimentation and healing

 vibrations.  All songs on this disc were not pre-cognitioned, meaning that there was no communique'

between the players about anything relating to the music prior to the recording, the music is totally improvised! 

This is a classic album for you space-out-didgeridoo-electric guitar-world-drum-kind of human!  Is it space

people, rockers, or is it the Lajamanu (ambient sound and song)? 

 

 

    The second full length release by "The Streets of Acid", a much more ambient

 album that the first- when there is no pre-cognition you get wonderful things!

 This is a 70 minute long escapade of Mod Vs. Rocker Vs. Acid Jazz and a

 little "alien"  inn-fluence.  The title is "Far from grounded".  The album

 has not yet been released and is undergoing the usual considerations to be

 produced and available soon!

 Tracks:       1.  A new dawn for a new world       (3:27)

                   2.  To look back is to look forward   (7:27)

                   3.  The universe is life                        (6:14)

                   4.  The bells of graduation               (21:32)

                   5.  The rise of Amun                         (8:05)

                                                                         6.  No place like here, now               (4:41)

                                                                         7.  Far from grounded                       (3:12)

 

   

 

    The second space-out didgeridoo trip entitled, "Lajamanu II".  This is an

 exteremely RARE CD only a handful has been made, as it has just been

 produced within the last few weeks and is an exqusite ambient album for

 you super-spacers!  Here is a sample of  "Vanuatu" , (1:07) a must have for the

 inner sound ambience of any space craft!  The album is a double disc set

 complete with a lush and velvety all-encompassing space music for space

 people. 

 Tracks:    1.  VANUATU                                                            (8:13)
                2.  INANNA (mother of Adamu) (Sumer)                     (9:12)
                3.  RAPA NUI (Easter Island)                                    (16:15)

                                                                   11.  HARBORISHI (SLIDINUUM)                              (7:12)

 

 

 

    One of Guitarzan's first full length albums entitled, "vintage 2200".  The

 album is critcally acclaimed and is a collectors item.  It is a punk blues

 distorted rock-n-roll album not for the light hearted music fan.

 This is an absolutely amazing guitar album for people who like ear-blistering

 hollow-body guitar work with a subtle delicacy that only a few gui-terrorists

 can pull-off! 

 Tracks:

     1.  Stormy Monday                                        (8:24)

     2.  T-bone Shuffle                                          (3:00)

     3.  Baby what you want me to do?                  (3:22)

     4.  I saw her standing there                             (3:23)

                                                         5.  Roll over Beethoven                                   (2:37)

                                                         6.  Baby let me hold your hand                       (11:01)

                                                         7.  Hooker                                                    (24:36)

 This is an evolutionary concept album in that starts with 40's-50's earliest electric blues songs such as,

T-Bone Walker's "T-Bone Shuffle" and "Stormy Monday", Jimmy Reed's  "Baby what you want me to do",

(still in Guitarzan's live set), then evolving into early rock-n-roll with the Beatles, "I Saw Her Standing There",

Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven", then Ray Charles's ", Baby let me hold your hand",

then one of the craziest guitar John Lee Hooker's stomp rocker's entitled, "Hooker", an instrumental live

version!  You thought that was all?  No way!  The album then explodes into one of the darkest

deepest oceanic sounding waves of ambient space that is 17 minutes of full-on frontal space-out!  Leading

the way into "Extraterrestrial Highway"!  The first four tracks are recorded live at the 400 bar (opening for

R.L. Burnside) and are relatively smooth and vintage sounding, then cums a gusher of distorted bliss (not for

the faint hearted) and is some of the highest energy sounding rock punk blues to come outta Minneapolis

since the Jets!

 

 

   This album features Guitarzan on one track entitled, "Shore".  The band

ODDJOBS is a rap outfit primarily based out of Brooklyn, New York,

when Djs employs real musicians into their sound, in turn jumping steps

and boundaries with their blue-collar american values versus ideallic progression 

with a touch of irony and revolution.
