The ever changing and constantly progressing Rodeo Massacre are back with their new single ‘Zombies Of Life’ on 22nd November and it’s a brilliant slice of rip roaring psychedelic skuzzy blues abandon. Core band members Izzy and Zorba directed, filmed and starred in the video for the track, which in true DIY style was produced with a grand budget of £70.
Accompanying the original are three great remixes by the fantastic Cornershop, Swedish/Swiss producer Le Twan and Canadian artist and producer Your Pretend Boyfriend..
Rodeo Massacre have been constantly evolving over the past two years and now see themselves as a collaborative collective rather than a static and traditional band. Led by founding members Izzy and Zorba and joined by solo artist Pat Dam Smyth, they welcome guest musicians to both the live shows and recordings, Chris Constantinou (Adam and the Ants) and Preston Heyman (Kate Bush) lend flute and percussion to the track respectively.
Pat is not only a striking stage presence but also gifts Rodeo Massacre with his multi-instrumental and vocal talents. Zorba, always the showman, wows audiences by simultaneously singing whilst playing his custom built drum-kit and guitar, while Izzy captivates the crowd with her superlative vocals and stunning stage presence.
The band now host their own London club night, Clap or Die Party which sees their adoring fans (laffectionately known as Lex Foxes) feasting on thick slices of contemporary psychedelia at The Blues Kitchen every month.
Rodeo Massacre’s début album will be released in January 2011.
