Wacko Mazoe

Cousins Davis and Gierke first started playing music together in high school about nine years ago, working together to basically teach other how to play their respective instruments (Davis on guitar, Gierke on bass). Writing songs together over this past decade, the duo has grown a great deal, and after a series of serendipitous meetings, the current lineup solidified just over a year ago. The band aims to put an indie spin on the alternative-rock sounds of the '90s. You can pick up Wacko Mazoe's debut EP, Lunar Mechanics, at live shows or by email order. You can also download the tracks via the band's SNOCAP store on MySpace. For details, visit www.wackomazoe.com or www.myspace.com/wackomazoe.
