Album Notes

After their 2004 breakthrough "Our Five Worst Songs" grabbed them opening slots nationwide for diverse acts like De La Soul, Concrete Blonde, Lady Kier of Deee-Lite and worldwide recognition through Konami's "Dance Dance Revolution", ZONK's 2005 release "Half Human" had them set to join forces with the B-52's in the midst of their west coast tour schedule. It's fittingly eclectic company for a band composed of Motown-rooted songstress Nic McFiendish, video game designer-cum-electronic artist Dave L., space-funk harmonica and bass (at the same time!) player Uncle Bergie, and old school turntablist/rapper Walt Dizzle (DJ Red 5).

"ZONK....hmmm...fresh from some other planet. We love 'em."
Johnette Napolitano, Concrete Blonde
"More stage presence than most of the big name acts we bring in."
San Francisco's Great American Music Hall

"Local trip-hop foursome Zonk turns the characteristically languorous and melancholy style's perma-frown upside down. Frontlady McFiendish's sex-dripping vocals lend a sultry air to the band's quirky, beat-driven blend of turntable, laptop, live guitar and bass and harmonica, yes, harmonica."
