Zoogma,
Papadosio
The Bad Manor
Zeugma: a figure of
speech describing the
joining of linguistic parts;
Zocgma: a gang of rockers
and electro-funk producers
who cultivate the join
ing of kindred spirits and
sounds in energy-laden
gatherings across the
lower 50. The five-piece
might fall short of its
aspiration to perform 200
shows in 2010, partly due
to life-course events such Zoogma
as nuptials and new par-
enthood, but will nonetheless play number 128 in Athens on Nov. 18.
Bassist/producer Ryan Nall describes how the band's goal coincided with the decision
to give away Recreational Vehicles, its debut album, free of charge. "We noticed other
bands doing give-aways with some success and thought if people heard us the/d want to
see the live show."
It seems to have worked, considering that a year ago the Oxford, MS-origioating
crew—keyboardist Preston Boutot, guitarist/producer Brock Bowling, drummer/producer
Matt Harris, guiterist/synth player Justin Hasting and Nall—played to a small Athens
crowd compared to its recent September show drawing nearly 500 fens. The New Earth
event marked Zoogma's 100th performance of the year and sold out of beer accordingly.
In addition to the impetus of the free downloads, Nall attributes the growth of the
Zoogma community to winning a mainstage spot at the Wakarusa festival last June.
"Playing a Friday at noon, we worried about not being able to do our light show, but
1,000 people showed up, and we were asked to perform a second slot on Sunday." While
rooted in the electronic scene, Zoogma is committed to sonic diversity. "What we're
doing might be the next thing for those saturated by pure electronic sounds by giving
them a more live band approach that's rock-infused with hip-hop rhythms and world
trance.*’'
