7 Zuma 7

Every story has it’s beginning, this one starts deep inside! Perhaps sleaze rock doesn’t exist...but if it does, and it defines music that rocks, sixties/seventies inspired, with lyrics focusing on sleazy women and psychedelic experiences packed with glitter and glamour then 7ZUMA7 fit the description. Of course, beauty and the true definition of sleaze rock are in the eye of the beholder, but thousands of enthusiastic people who saw them play at the Dynamo Open Air 1996 and 1998 and Lowlands 1998 can’t be wrong, not to mention Monster Magnet’s Dave Wyndorff who thinks their selftitled 10’’ is one of the best things he has ever heard. These Eindhoven, Holland, based powerboat freaks started jamming after drinkin' lots of Tequila's and after only 3 live gigs they surprised the Dynamo audience in their hometown. Followed by playing at all the important Dutch festivals and many, many clubs. The Netherlands is already lying at their feet, other countries want to embrace them which they definitely will do with their latest release. In Spring 1999 they will finally release their full length album called Deep inside... which will take you, led by ‘Jerry Glitter’, to the sparkling depths of B-culture, where the late Savannah, an X rated actress, who during her tragic life (hence a ballad) did some bizarre things with the male reproduction organ, still haunts the bands dreams, where Keith Moon turns in his grave after hearing the ZUMA’s version of The Seeker, and where heroin chicks crawl, manic on acid, through fistful of dolls….
