Zonic Shockum

December 30, 2023 / user

Late 80’s, 90s Philly band (although still around today as a duo). They have 2 full length LP’s and a compilation of their singles (links below) on apple music. I’ve included the rest of the songs from the singles, youtube version of the first cassette release and a live reunion show from the Khyber in 2004.

History of the band from Wikipedia
In 1988, Stephen P. Anderson, under the moniker of Zonic Shockum, recorded a 17-song cassette titled Pleasure which received distribution through Sound Choice mail-order catalog and Tower Records in Philadelphia and garnered a positive review in the German music magazine Zap. The tape featured girlfriend Debbie Polak singing on one song, and co-worker Marc Sonstein programming drums for another. Anderson’s cover of “Chinese Rock” was carted at Drexel University’s 91.7 for regular airplay.

In 1989 Polak and Sonstein joined Anderson as permanent members to form the nucleus of the performing and writing outfit.

Tar – Live Khyber Pass 2/16/93

March 18, 2022 / user

The precursor to Tar was a hardcore punk outfit called Blatant Dissent, which formed in DeKalb, Illinois where singer/guitarist John Mohr and drummer Mike Greenlees were attending Northern Illinois University. Joining Mohr and Greenlees in Tar were original bassist Tim Mescher (only until 1991 and who also played for Snailboy), bassist Tom Zaluckyj and guitarist Mark Zablocki. Zaluckyj and Mohr played unique instruments, crafted of aluminum, designed by Ian Schneller of Specimen Products.[2]

The band released albums on the Amphetamine Reptile and Touch and Go Records labels before disbanding in 1995.
There are 3 different Bandcamp pages to find their releases Amphetamine Reptile years, Touch & go years & Live Releases from the band –

Giant Sand – Live Khyber Pass April 6th 1990

November 12, 2021 / user

Howe Gelb’s Giant Sand is the most resilient and consistently inventive American band of the last two decades–part of the well spring of the Tucson musical dynasty.
Along with Thin White Rope I thought Giant Sand was one of the most under-rated sort of country/indie/psych/whatever bands of the 90;s
(Again I will try to figure out the song titles later but I wanted to get this up)

CakeKitchen – Khyber 6/25/92

August 8, 2011 / admin

CakeKitchen is Graeme Jefferies with various other musicians. Graeme had been in Nocturnal Projections and This Kind of Punishment with his brother Peter Jefferies. I’m not 100% sure but judging by the time frame it was probably Graeme with bassist Rachael King and drummer Robert Key. This show was on June 25, 1992 at the Khyber opening for Seam. Lots of tracks off the World of Sand album and the earlier Time Flowing Backwards album. Greame is still putting out releases – the latest is Kangaroos In My Top Paddock. For more on Cakekitchen (including buying cd’s directly from the band) check out the Cakekitchen Facebook Page.
