Sorry for the delay on this one folks! Thanks to everyone who pulled themselves out on a Monday night for a really diverse show.  Zorch completely blew everyone's minds (and ears and eyes) with that special thing they do. Daffodil turn heads with think, bluesy garage rock that had everyone asking where they were from and why we hadn't had them up before - just took a few years to sync up! Ha. The newish due of Laika + Luddite Machine laid down some killer beats with well-interwoven guitars and young dudes Cheerleader Death Squad made their IU debut. So, look for more from them.

Interview with Zorch

Ithaca Underground's Bubba Crumrine catches up with the Austin, TX experimental duo Zorch on their way through the northeast.  The band will stop in Ithaca this Sunday, August 15th at The Haunt with Afghanistan, Why The Wires, Cameron Wisch, and The Invisible Hand.  Doors at 5PM, shows starts at 6PM and is all ages.

Let's have Zac & Sam give us some background on the band and what we get to look forward to, hmmm?!

IU: How did the two of you meet?

Z: We actually got put together in the dorms. We also had a third roommate for one day. Coincidentally, we actually played with his band, Whoarfrost, in Baltimore.

S:  Zac didn’t get me at first. I remember one of the first things he said to me was “you’re weird.” But I think at this point, he understands me pretty damn well.
    
IU: What brought you to start making music together?

Z: Just hanging out and being friends, probably also a desire to make experimental loud music. 

S: Yeah, we came from very different musical taste backgrounds, but there came a point where our tastes crossed paths and that’s when we started making music together.

IU: Where did the nicknames Shmu and Rough Boy come from?

Z: I wouldn't even really consider Rough Boy to be a nick name of mine, it was kind of an ongoing joke because of the Pete Townshend video "Rough Boys" that we watched with our publicist Samantha. She ended up changing my name of Facebook after I signed a couple emails as "rough boy." I just never cared enough to change it back.  

S: Shmu is my given Hebrew name. My solo material is also released under the moniker Shmu. Check out the album “Discipline/Communication.” You can download it for free on shmu.bandcamp.com

IU: What process goes into creating a Zorch piece?
