My friend; Ken Mosher; had been telling me about his new band and their crazy sound. Philly was my first chance to see them play and to see Ken for the first time in a few years - in a bar venue the name of which i dont remember. The show was awesome; the crowd danced and sweated and the band seemed to be having a blast. Ken was always eclectic; always nuts and this group seemed to fit him perfectly. Toms story takes us from the "band as art project" through that heady time when the positive audience reactions fueled the group and then through the process of the band losing the joy and; sadly; eventually falling apart. Tom actually stops before the end comes; but he shows us the writing on the wall. I saw this all happening over those years and; at the time; could not understand how the individuals in the group could not figure out a way to make it work. I was only just starting my own career as a lawyer - decidedly NOT the most creative of professions - and was too caught up in the mindset of the "bad business man" to really see how destructive fame and financial success can be to creative people. As I have gained the perspective over the ensuing years (decades!); it is easier for me to understand - but it is an abstract understanding. Reading Toms description of what really inspired him and what drove the music of SNZ made me appreciate how the band was really doomed by its own success. I recall someone -from Mammoth; I think - cynically commenting to me about the band that "with that many people the egos are bound to come into conflict and the band will inevitably break up." Tom makes it clear that; while that dynamic was indeed present within the group; it was not until the band started to experience success and the record company started using them to "pull the plow"; as Tom describes it; that the fractures became too deep to mend. It became too much about whose brand of weird would take the spotlight. Aww; hey man! It was fun while it lasted!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Only makes me want moreBy Jason BuntingGreat book if you loved the band. Ends rather abruptly; but it resonates with the story being told and makes the point quite well. The only thing Im sad about is not knowing "the rest of the story." Perhaps Tom would be willing to write a follow-up about his transition out of SNZ and into his solo efforts and beyond. I enjoy the casual; stream-of-consciousness style of his writing (feels like hes just conversing with you over a doobie or a drink) and the vignettes of his life with the other Zippers.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
