Girlz of Zaetar

Girlz of Zaetar’s Fear of Rehearsal is experimental, avant-garde, electronic, ambient, jazz very reminiscent of Miles Davis’ revolutionary 1970s creative leap to electric instruments on such albums as Bitches’ Brew music that defined what came to be called fusion. The centerpiece of this twenty-three piece collective’s album is the first track, Gods, a 35-minute, meandering sonic landscape that uses as its artistic palette tenor saxophone, electronic noise, guitar, percussion, bass, and non-distinct human voices that at times sing, talk, and scream. The saxophone solos are very well played, with great fast-paced runs and layers of sax noise provided by the multi-player horn section. This instrument is especially well utilized in the second track, Lahasa, with a great squeaky, squonky sax riff that repeats over disjointed percussion and ambient noise before the rhythm section begins to kick a groove.

The band has been known to play with as many as seven girl base players, and with Snakepit, who can blow a sax non-stop ("cycle breathing") Possessed strangers from the audience spontaneously join the band and sing in religious ecstasy! 23 players including Tequila Mockingbird on bass. Tom Zatar Kay on "yoga" - spiritual poetry and head stands - plus seven other bass players, a guitarist, horn section, vibist and myriad percussionist, "all sounds are the right sounds" says Tequila, "call it jam-band ROCK" A cross between Hindu chanting and psychedelic '60s records played at the wrong speed. Now who says the hippie spirit is dead?" LA DEE DA, (expired link). Weekly

Weird concept. Rewarding result. With a 23 person line-up, Girlz of Zaetar exists somewhere in-between a sex-crazed Sly, a meditative Femi Kuti and a drawling Captain Beefheart, creating music that is at once excruciatingly pretentious and wonderfully listenable. - ink19.

Our Muzic Is Our Spaceship Schoenes Xhaos (German 4 Beautiful Chaos) Such intense bliss-full meditation of madness, such happy insanity in reality, the ultimate fleek jam band. It is a rainbow of energies, mystical magic every time the GOZ play.

Sun Ra and Funkadelic Intriguing sprawl of free jazz, religious ecstasy, and entertainingly devolved ideas about sound, rhythm, tempo, and togetherness. - A brazen display of cacaphony that will bring a tear to your eye The spirit of Ra says you would be foolish not to give them a listen.
Happy Halloween GOZ loves you....

First LHASA is the name of the Hollywood club where the song was recorded. All our music is live we never rehearse!
Lahasa was recorded at our very first gig. The band was in a good mood/pumped up! A performance tribe of Avant-garde Musicians Artiest and Poets. Note at every other gig GOZ did had many more people in the band.

Lahasa band members where:
Tequila Mockingbird – Vocals - Base Guitar - She had to be carried on to the stage. She played the whole performance laying down on the stage with her base and mike - Tequila is a Hollywood legend!
MR T - Ken Tao on Base Guitar
Marc Levinthal (Alien) – Guitar – He plays the Guitar but does not like it to sound like one. At every GOZ gig he is the only one playing a Guitar. At the beginning of the show Marc touch the mike and got such a big electrical shock he fell to the floor and his hair exploded and he could not speak. It made a big boom sound SHOCKING and scary!!!
Snakepit - Eddie Edwards - On Sax - The incredible cool cosmic Snakepit was playing nonstop. He has the ability to hold a note for ever by circular breathing. A technique used by players of some wind instruments to produce a continuous tone without interruption. This is accomplished by breathing in through the nose while simultaneously pushing air out through the mouth using air stored in the cheeks.
Zatar - Vocals - Electronic Synthesizer - Zatar would move his fingers in supersonic frantic spazmatic insanity becoming the instruments sounds. Zatar also stood on his head.
Phil - on drums – Phil got so into the beats with such a rush of adrenaline so obsessed with what was happening that half way through the set Phil cut his hand and kept on playing as red blood was shooting around the stage.

Booming art Jazz and love to all our cool friends!. Please tell everyone you know about LAHASA . Help enlighten the world to GOZ… God bless

Weird concept. Rewarding result. With a 23 person line-up, Girlz of Zaetar exists somewhere in-between a sex-crazed Sly, a meditative Femi Kuti and a drawling Captain Beefheart, creating music that is at once excruciatingly pretentious and wonderfully listenable. The 35-minute-long "Gods" is so commercially suicidal it's beautiful. Even musically, after its first few faltering steps, it proves to be a wonderful track; a gliding chant that extends above and beyond itself to end up in some absurd Hindi love parade.
The three subsequent tracks are much shorter (both in length and in scope), and fail to engage on the same level -- although they do prove the band's musical diversity and ability to maintain interest. In a musical field where too many acts tend to end up in dead-end jams, Girlz of Zaetar use their musical abilities to communicate with their audience. Fear of Rehearsal is a wonderful testament to this free, generous spirit, and is as spontaneous as its title suggests.
