Hailing
from the same gila monster-infested Arizona desert wilderness that
produced an unlikely harvest of fertile bands (Alice Cooper's Spiders,
Kennélmus, Phil & The Frantics) the Twentieth Century
Zoo were the paradigm of what was happening to music as 1966 blossomed
into 1967-68. These Phoenix shroom-heads stirred the savage fuzzback-laced
sounds of the garage generation into the brain-baking trippiness
of the emerging SF ballroom scene and made a concoction all their
own.
