RIZON

Five Phoenix Musicians who were practically hand picked, not unlike you would pick a football dream team. Prior to their formation, a close friend of the band kept insisting that if he could pick this guitarist, with this vocalist and this drummer, and so on it would be the greatest band around! At the time, all of members of RIZON were either in other projects, parting with others or just resurfacing to the music scene. It was perfect timing!

When the guys first jammed together it was as if they had been playing together for years. It just clicked! To kick-start the engine that would soon be known as RIZON, they threw in their best suggestions, came up with four set lists, rehearsed the hell out of them, and started booking shows!

At first coming up with a name that was fitting was'nt a major concern. Although thousands of suggestions were made, both serious and not so serious (the ones that gave us a great laugh) the band flew under a couple of pseudonyms, with the conviction that the name that would best fit the band would evolve as the music did. However, it really didnt take that long. Having strong ties to the Phoenix scene, and whether or not they were Arizona natives, all the members of the band had deep roots in Phoenix and a great affinity for the desert and the weather. The decision was made; the great state of Arizona could lend itself in part, to a name for the band. It was one members idea the name "ARIZONA" would be a great name for the band much in the likeness of Boston, Chicago, Alabama etc. Bands so proud of where they came from they took their city and state's namesake. But to make it more their own and more personified, the "A" was clipped from each end of the name (A RIZON A) and "RIZON" ARIZONA STYLE ROCK was born!!
