ZOMBO'S PUNK RODS--So Cal greaseball suf/rock/punk instrumental maddness, that's what this is. With 2005 being an off-year for Mississippi Mud, Scottie "Mad Dog" Blinn had a lot of writing time on his hands. With a background in old instrumental surf and rock, and always incorporating this style into any live show, Mad Dog hooked up with good friend Kip "Babyface" Dabbs (Rhythm Lords, James Intveld, Mississippi Mud) and decided to bring back this style with a modern twist. "Mad Dog's" got the "BIG" guitar sound, and "Babyface's" got the baddest original surf beats around.

In the vein of Link Wray (RIP), Dick Dale, and Los Straightjackets, and the attitude of the Clash and the Ramones, this is an in your face instrumental assult. Mostly original songs written while watching old re-run DVD's of THE MUNSTERS, and Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns. SERIOUSLY! This is Hot Rod Surf--Sinister Surf, in the finest Southern California style.

Like Mississippi Mud and The Mississippi Mudsharks, this is a band built on keeping traditional roots firmly planted, but making something new and original out of it.

The CD is currently in production, and few select live shows will be announced later this year.
