The Zen Relics

About Me

"The Zen Relics are electric and totally psychedelic. They're one of the most exciting live bands on the circuit" - LOADED magazine. Hello, I am Roger Woodstock, a real person who really exists, and I am happy to introduce The Zen Relics, a 60s and 70s covers band from Surrey.
I found these four guys playing in a club in Redhill in 1967 and immediately signed them to my "ROT" record label. In 1968, I produced their first single "Don't Eat The Flowers". After that, the band decided to concentrate on cover songs.
Despite all this, the compliments still poured in, with Bozo magazine voting them "The second worst band in the world" in 1968.
Soon, they disbanded, but they got together again six months later, then disbanded and got back together in 1969. After two more gigs, they disbanded and got back together, then disbanded and got back together a few more times taking us to 1971. After that... well they disbanded in 1972, got back together again and then disbanded until 1973 when they got back together again. This went on until 1974. Then they disbanded.
To cut a long story short, they are back together again having launched the "Zen Pecked" tour 2008 and the "Zen of Iniquity" tour this year. The line-up is still the same as in 1967.
