Why this name?
A robot that turns into a car, and is quite expensive for what is essentially blocks of coloured plastic.
Do you play live?
It's hopefully in the pipeline.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I'm not sure how much it changes the industry, but it certainly allows people to listen to black zarak.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I, Thomas, think it would be kind of silly. I, Thomas, would have to ask my associate.
Band History:
Black Zarak are the The Pong Bandits minus one person. We drink too much tea and play too many SEGA video games. We play lots of instruments, regardless of whether we know how or not. Thomas is too obsessive about everything he gets slightly enthusiastic about. Patrick is too enthusiastic about everything he gets slightly obsessive about. We met many moons ago because we like things that people aren't supposed to like, like horrible loud noises, garish colour schemes, and mindless internet slang. LOL WTF!111!!!
This makes us make music.

#2-B - BLACK ZARAK!

If you play Daddy Long Legs backwards to the episode of The Simpsons where Homer goes on strike to get his dental plan, you will uncover Black Zarak's plans for world domination, and thus that combination is the most politically volatile short film in history.
