Why this name?
Totally by accident!! I blindly ran my fingers across the keyboard of a computer & "MZZY" was on the screen. We added an A & an E to make MAZZEY.
Do you play live?
We played live for our friends, we've even recorded for some of our friends. It was never about getting popular or even doing anything serious...we were just having fun and documenting our fun in the tapes we recorded. So Yeah, We loved playing!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think the internet is a good way to meet more friends and send our music out to them, it'll be our way to "TOUR" and maybe get some fans.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I doubt it. (a short & simple answer, let me know via. e-mail if you want me to explain this)
Band History:
We met in 1994 at the Mortal Kombat II arcade machine. I asked Jamie what his name was & I told him mine. Next thing you know, he ended up at my apartment and we started to record a few songs Jamie had writen before he had met me. After a few days (4 to be exact) we had 1 sixty min. tape of music done. We relized we had done our 1st demo and we still had more stuff to record & write. This went on till 2001. Making music and having fun and recording.
Your influences?
All sorts of heavy metal, alternative, goth, death...basically anything.
Favorite spot?
Williamsport, PA & Turbotville, Pa...Can't forget about Alexandria, Pa
