Gongzilla - Bio
Journalist Bill Milkowski called GZ “simply mind-boggling”. Americans Bon
Lozaga and Hansford Rowe and Australian monster drummer Sam Aliano
are GZ’s core. Gongzilla’s first CD, Suffer, has become a cult hit in the
fusion world and the massive grooves on Thrive are legend in the jam-
band world. Suffer and Thrive featured guest guitarists Allan Holdsworth
and David Torn. The most recent CD East Village Sessions continues that
tradition with guest guitarist David “Fuze” Fiuczynski (Screaming Headless
Torsos). The mix of precision and balls-out mayhem this band is capable
of live will “boggle your mind” and body!
Gongzilla is a muscular quartet that traffics in the kind of music once
mislabeled as fusion. Sure to surprise twenty-somethings who think jam
bands invented adventurous instrumental passages, odd meters and
searing melodies, Gongzilla's latest album East Village Sessions does
more with marimba, bass, drums and guitar than an entire Vans Warped
Tour of pierced-nosed freeloaders could imagine. Not simply an excuse
to blow notes, Gongzilla also delivers subtlety and sophistication.
Gongzilla creates an atmospheric ride that even when speeding at 200
bpm delivers a litheness that's practically feline. (Ken Micallef)
