Welcome to the exceptional and improbable world of Godzilla Black.
It's sometimes hard to divine fact from fiction with regards to Godzilla Black, such is the incorporeal nature of its existence. One cannot even be sure how many members comprise its hive mind at any one time. But this much is known to be true:
The group's earliest origins can be traced to early 2006 when two drummers met and colluded to create a fresh and unique sonic experience. The percussive commonality would become a key aspect of their sound. They spent the next couple of years honing their craft, recording several E.P.s and playing shows around the UK.
2009 saw the group expand, both in size and concept. They self-recorded their first album, due out 25th January 2010 via free internet download (at http://godzillablack.bandcamp.com).
They record and rehearse in an old Evil Dead style shack, somewhere in Sidcup, Kent. Gene Simmons originally wanted to call Kiss "Sidcup, Kent", saying "apparently it's in England somewhere, but it sounds like it's on f***ing Mars!".
They enjoy attacking an audience with psychedelic, heavy tribalism and sporting fetching blacked-out Hawaiian shirts while dancing on the face of all things good, proper and decent.
Members of Godzilla Black can claim to have these things:
Played on Top of the Pops in a chart conquering band
Studied law
A mother who has been propositioned by Brian Blessed.
Inadvertently thwarted a plot to assassinate a political figure
Played in a band with Metallica's drum tech.
"Disconcerting and indescribable post-Kraut mayhem from Hell's own art school" - Classic Rock Magazine
"If David Lynch made a sci-fi action mutant thriller TV soap set inside a floating volcanic island in the Meiji era in Japan, Godzilla Black would be the perfect soundtrack." - www.supersweet.org
Godzilla Black's album launch with Chickenhawk at the Unicorn in Camden, London is set for 20th February, 2010.
