The one and only - Bungalow Zen
An Online review of Bungalow Zen
Talented musicians, excellent frontman Mark Damon
(with a raspy delivery recalling the best of Bon Scott mixed with Steven Tyler and a touch of Robert Plant)
An unleashed power recalling the best of those aforementioned singers' bands representing the classic Aerosmith mould and a hybrid of masterful Iommi-style riffs and prime-time Zep wail.
Fan-bloody-tastic.
Bungalow Zen should get as many good support slot gigs as they can and preferably on a national tour, and they should build on this Style and Charisma.
As long as they go churning out these stupendous riff-laden tunes we'll all be happy little punters.
It is the element of sheen and subtlety that will carve them out as the next classic rock band to watch.
The live set leaves you wanting more but an album is due mid 2007.
For the moment, just turn up & turn it up! **Check out, also, the bonus video of 'Friends' which looks like it was a hoot to make and shows Damon is not afraid to camp it up in the name of, er, art and so gives Zen a visual edge too.
