In 2014 I had just finished producing/screening my 1st family friendly film "GROWING GRAPES FOR THE FUTURE", a story based on the idea that one could predict the future by 'reading' the wrinkling-crinkling-sinking lines of a dried grape. A raisin. By that summer I was well into my next film "AQUA LUNG SECRET – The Duplo Project".

OK. It just so happened that one of the double agent characters in this new film was Zillion The Clown, a personality modeled after my 1990’s stage persona Larynx Zillion. I gradually became sidetracked.

I then began digitizing “live” video footage from LARYNX ZILLION'S NOVELTY SHOP’s 1990’s archives as well as two full CD’s worth of unreleased material; "HOTTER THAN THE DICKENS Volumes 1 & 2". {NOTE: this mammoth body of recorded work features such local luminaries as Chris Casello (a.k.a. Buzz Amerika) on guitar and backing vocals, Chris Smith (a.k.a Hubba Chubba Bubba) on trombone, and David Swain (a.k.a. Chip Reed) on bass and baritone sax.}

Long story short ~

I dropped my new screen play in 2015 to then form this millennium’s incarnation of LARYNX ZILLIONS NOVELTY SHOP.

Stylistically speaking, THE SHOP has always been a bit of a dilemma ever since the beginning of its inception (1985). The music is about as eclectic as it gets, making it very difficult to market and develop a cohesive fan base on any level.

My original plan here was to record a full length CD with this new band. But, THE SHOP was quickly going out of business as we scrambled to do our best and complete 6 of the studio tracks we started, plus master the 3 “live” cuts we had performed over cable television.

This new release features such talented local luminaries as William Bennett (a.k.a. Willy the Barber) on keyboards, Tim Nagae (a.k.a. Katsumi Zoomie) on bass, Elizabeth Royce (a.k.a. Voxxy Soxx) on harmony & backing vocals, and my own bad self (a.k.a. Larynx Zillion) singing lead vocal, electric & acoustic guitars, drums, and extra keyboards. Oh, and don’t forget Ginger the Giraffe as our stage mascot...

P.S. We actually had a very talented young drummer named El Macaso (a.k.a. Drew Woodcock) who performed with us for a good bit. But, he soon gave his two week notice due to employment scheduling conflicts. That was, sadly, the beginning of the end. THE SHOP was soon out of business altogether…
