The kind of band you try to drag everyone you know to go see 'em, even those that don't normally like psycho-blues-core (what the hell else can you call it?) music.. everyone in the house has a great time when they play. Imagine Hawkwind with their space-rock effects and stoner rock riffs playing gospel, blues and Sam Cooke covers in a revival tent. (actually, ZG do a killer cover of Cooke's "Change Gonna Come").

I wish I hadn't lost touch with them, incredibly nice guys and they just put on one of the best shows you'll ever see. If you don't have their early stuff, I'd highly suggest it. I believe Alternative Tentacles has a cool reissue of their early ep's (GAP-TOOTH CLOWN/INVISIBLE LIFTEE PAD). Great stuff, pretty lo-fi, but the I'd rather listen to them than most blues I've heard. Though, I played them once for a dyed-in-the-wool blues fan and he looked at me like I was insane.
