Sam Zurick

Sam Zurick es un gringo loco y talentoso, musicalmente hablando. Tal vez para muchos sea necesaria una pequeña reseña para saber quién es el sujeto de la fotografía. Si bien el tipo no es muy conocido, sus proyectos musicales sí que lo son y, cuando digo que lo son, lo son. Hablamos del antiguo bajista de Cap'n Jazz, Friend/Enemy y Owls; y también ex guitarrista de Joan Of Arc, Ghosts And Vodka y Troll Patrol. Bueno, pero ¿y ahora qué hace, dónde toca? Como buen chico Capitán Jazz, el músico es de aquellos "imparables", de esos como Mike, Tim y Nate Kinsella, Davey VonBohlen, Victor Villareal y Bobby Bur, que no logran irse a la cama si no terminan su día con nuevos avances musicales. En fin, Zurick se encuentra en la actualidad como bajista de Joan of Arc (cambió el instrumento) y como solista en People Dick. En este último proyecto ha encontrado una oportunidad para verter toda su originalidad y en general, toda su locura musical, sin el temor de que alguna persona le reproche tal hecho. Así podemos escuchar en el Flower Power? sonidos de amplio espectro musical; de un folk moderno y con mucha onda, a un rock con guitarras distorsionadas y dotadas de variados efectos. En tal disco, encontraremos 34 tracks, incluído un bonus de Cap'n Jazz; si se fijan bien, el tracklist completo arma una larga oración.

About Flower Power? album: Sam spent the years of 1999-2002 in his bedroom. occasionally he would walk to the corner store for a frozen pizza and some zingers. although not the healthiest time of his life, he did manage to compile 100's of unfinished songs. here are 60 minutes of his scattered guitar ideas - disc features the debut of People Dick and a Cap'n Jazz bonus track.
