ZOOGZ RIFT - ON THE UNCLE FLOYD SHOW


"what a show............."

In the 80's you didn't have a whole lot of channels to choose from. If you lived in my house with my cheapskate step father you had NO CHOICES.... The only saving grace I had during this cable early era was to create my own entertainment. In between endless rounds with my Atari 2600 I could get in the Uncle Floyd Show out of Newark, New Jersey. This proved to be a great deal after all.


The Uncle Floyd Show featured Squeeze, The Ramones, and David Johanson from THE NEW YORK DOLLS...... And then sometimes you wouldn't get so lucky and you would end up with a wacko band talent like Aztec Two Step, Gary US Bonds and ZOOGZ RIFT.

Zoogz was a Dadaist art performer and a creative soul. He was a free form artist. But judging from this video clip he was also somewhat of a lunatic.

Here is the man himself,

"It took us months to learn how to play out-of-sync like that. "
