Zen Frisbee
Tonight we are curiously honored to present Zen Frisbee in its various life-forms described in the 2000 Independent Weekly article (linked below) as “Original/Classic/Extra Crispy”, and by Kevin Dixon in his own words below as “Original Recipe/Dull-Somber-Pretentious”. Fried chicken is on.
Everybody has to start somewhere. Did you know that Zen Frisbee, generally regarded as the best Chapel Hill band ever, got their start as a humble trio way back in the mid 80s?
Chuck Garrison, Kevin Dixon, and Brian Walker exhibited some of the spark that would define the latter version of the beloved band – the eclectic styles and exotic rhythms, and the undying energy and misguided passion. The Original Recipe Zen Frisbee kept it spontaneous and fun, usually in 2 minutes or less.
The dull and somber artistic pretensions and delusions of grandeur were additions supplied by future members of the band, such as Laird and Evil Jack. Some say this makes the Zen Frisbee Trio an even better band than the unquestionably mega-talented Zen Frisbee Brava, purer, more pureed. Some say no- Original Recipe’s songs are stupid, (Tobor, Baxter Jones) or boring. (Chicago, Headless Horseman) The more sophisticated Zen Frisbee Brava produced sacred orchestral visions of heaven (Rakeisha, Cruisin’ with Randy Travis) and spiritually challenging pop masterpieces. (Crazy Steven, Count Chocula) The truth, as usual, rests somewhere else entirely. For while it is true that everybody has to start somewhere, with Zen Frisbee, once you start it might never end.

Teeth of England
The Teeth of England is a Carolina Beach and Wilmington punk rock band, appropriately hard to find online. Their regular roadhouse is Reggie’s, and these cats share a long legacy of rockin’ North Carolina with bands such as Rural Swine who have rocked three decades.
TEETH OF ENGLAND, “VICTORY SPOILS THE MEAT” ALBUM REVIEW
“Wild, woolly and meant to be played loud. Featuring Dave Sinclair and Jim Phillips (formerly of Rural Swine), Seth Moody (countless local bands) and Travis Burdick (Deadly Lo-Fi), it’s jangly garage rock that’s timeless, ragged and infectiously fun. Choice tracks: ‘Do the Gasoline’ and ‘Get Along.’”
