EPYSODE 27: “Zior”
Guest: Zior bandleader Keith Bonsor
Bands like Alice Cooper weren't the only ones shock-rocking their audiences back in the day. Zior were applying a similar theatrical style to their stage show, complete with "human sacrifices". The press picked up on their antics and before you knew it, they were tagged with being purveyors of the occult and black magic.
Join us as we explore the band's unique sound and creative process, with exclusive commentary from bandleader Keith Bonsor.
I hope you dig "Zior" as much as I do.
