Zoid Asteroid Machine
We don't really believe the story about this guy being a 500-year-old alien from the planet "Vulva." What he is, though, is one hell of a guitarist, singer, songwriter, and midi musician. We're not sure if he's been around the entire observable universe, but Zoid sure has been around the block a few times!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Zoid was the lead guitarist for Yancy Derringer, THE...VERS, theXpairOmentals, Connor & Zoid, and today, The Crash Test Tickles. He has also played solo hundreds of times. He has been featured on several LPs (one of which is still being pressed in Europe) and god-knows-how-many CDs.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Zoid currently lives in Wisconsin, USA, planet Earth, Sol solar system, Milky Way galaxy.
