Tra la, tra la...Disobedient drums and grimacing overdriven guitars meander and stutter undisciplined through the sprawling, contemplative, free-flow GURZUNZ compositions. Hey nonny-nonny....Dreamy distorted sustain. Hurrah! rebellious floods of tangled pulsing eggy discord peppered with yapping mongrel percussion. Huzzah! Moody, jarring, drifting,. Oh Yay! Oh Yay! Intriguing, depressing, uplifting. Yarambah! Bile inducing, ecstatic, noose tightening, trouser bulging, wallet-emptying, nose-blowing, foot-tapping noise dirt. Yaow-yaowdah!
Mick Clack and Dale Marshall have played in and out of bands in the Oxford area for the past 150 years or so. eg The Earwigs, Bodily Functions, Cabasa, Flat Hill House Band, Yelford Allstars, , Kites A-Z, The Worried Men, , , Wheatfields, to name but twelve. A burning passion for improvised music and a constant grinding battle to keep the needle of their 'Acme' depression meters from flickering into the red keeps the GURZUNZ churning out their abominable instrumental audio adventures.
Dale and Mick also rear their ugly heads in an experimental/comedy/pop recording project called 'NIGE and TREV' who were voted winners in no less than THREE categories in the ....BEST ARTIST, BEST COMPOSER and BEST SONG for which features the drumming talents of the winner of the 2006 IOMA BEST DRUMMER Award....

We're going to build two big sculptures on the GURZUNZ back lawn. The first one is the word
FLEXIBILITY made out of really rigid material. The second one is the word RIGID
which, naturally, will be constructed from a highly flexible medium. We've also got plans for a 40 foot high display of the word INVISIBLE which will be positioned somewhere where everybody can see it.
