Contradictions and balance; two road-warriors from the ghetto-wasteland of fusion join two powerful young bucks on a quest to capture the essence of pop. Not the "pandering on purpose" pop we are all familiar with but the rigorous, risk taking music of bands like Steely Dan and Meshell Ndegeocello. Gongzilla first released a series of mostly instrumental Bon Lozaga and Hansford Rowe - Gongzilla albums featuring guest guitarists on each one, including jazz fusion legends such as Allan Holdsworth and David Torn. More recently, Gongzilla has included some U.S. jamband heroes, like guitarist Chuck Garvey of moe., and has emphasized vocals, crafting songs which fuse with improvisational rock. The GZ boys sing cool songs that will singe your soul while balancing both the hyper precision and the rockin' mayhem this band is capable of live. The new studio record Five Even includes the aforementioned Garvey as well as Jake Cinninger of Umphrey's McGee plus guitarist David "Fuze" Fiuczynski of Screaming Headless Torsos with bassist Kai Eckhardt of Garaj Mahal sitting in too! Rock, total running time, 57:45 - Gongzilla @ iTunes!
