CanaDave did another Out Past the Rings, the 162nd, for the short-lived west coast project Valtiel. One tape left. May or may not come with laryngitis.
Who was one of the most talked about bands post-fest? Mouthing. Without a doubt. This shroud of mystery ruined everyone for about 15 minutes. Here’s some jams. Somehow we have a few tapes left. We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!
Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VENUS TWINS = These friends detonated the last night of ZBR Fest and just finished a sick 11-day run with Heavenly Blue. They are the fucking bomb.
