Fuzz Guitar Show 2014 - Zagray!

Post by VacuumVoodoo »

The 2-day show just across the river from my place is over.
Got some clips from these 2 hectic days.
It was also a test of video/sound recording capabilities of Nokia Lumia 1020 .
The clips are not manipulated in any way. Guitars straight into the amps
with just a dash of reverb/delay in the FX loop.
We were not allowed to play above conversation level but nobody has
set limits on how loud we were allowed to converse... :wink:

zagray! is a pretty cool name, pardon me if this has been asked before but what is the origin?

It's a Polish verb in imperative. A very compact translation of "STFU & play!" My way of honoring Frank Zappa. Alas, haven't heard a word from Dweezil...
Original spelling is "Zagraj" but I changed the "j" to "y" to retain same pronunciation in English.

:P ROTFLMAO. I had the same identification problem, which is why I didn't comment. Kinda like asking a fat chick when she is due. Some questions are better off left unspoken.
