BOB REMINGTON: GUITAR, VOCALS FOR THE BAND ZIPPERHEAD ..............
Longtime blues/rock legend, this man can take you to the top, rock you to the bottom, then leave you with the bill! A positive man that knows any tone out of a guitar is hairy. Likes his amps loud, his guitars old and his strings gritty. Having Mark Khedroo , Bass Player from the very heavy Chicago Punk Band "OUT OF ORDER" and Jim Kendall from Chicago New Wave band "321" make this a very huge sounding power trio. ************************************************************
****His/Story- In his home town of Lake Bluff, IL Bob Remington started out playing guitar for a local band called the Wana Bez . Later they renamed the band Highway Child playing in Chicago clubs like The Metro, Lounge Axe, The Avalon, Orphans, Traffic Jam , Biddy Mulligan's, Shades to name a few; sharing the stage with The Insiders, Skid / The Way Moves, Graham Elvis / The Elvis Brother's, Dick Holliday & The Bamboo Gang , Scott Bennett and the Obviouse, Down Town Scotty Brown. Later in the late 90's the band got the oportunity to open for Dave Mason , Adrien Belew & The Bears, Stepenwolf ( thanks Roger!) Big head Todd & The Monsters, Molly Hatchett, Missing Persons, Quiot Riot, Smashing Pumpkins, Something Brothers, Phantom Helmsmen, Rollover, WishBone Ash, not exactly in that order ........ whew! After the lead singer moved to GA , Bob made the band into a trio and renamed the band Zipperhead. www.zipperheadrocks.com . They released thier 1st disc 6 in 1994. Recorded at Idful Studios in Wickerpark, Chicago with Casey Rice ( Liz Phair /Brad Wood) the band left the recording unmixed due to the lack of cash.
