Press Reviews Freakapuss is the band name given to the collective of musicians and friends brought together by singer songwriter Zarjaz. Zarjaz is no stranger to the music industry, putting out his first record, Favorite Girls by Tronics at the age of 16, in late 1979. Since then Zarjaz has released a string of innovative, influential and sometimes controversial records. These include Wild Cat Rock (Red RhinoRecords), Tranzister Sister (Press), Love Backed By Force (Alien Records), One Charmyng Nyte (Clockwork Orange style synthesised classical music, described as the weirdest record on Creation Records) and Inter Block Rock (Kaleidoscope Sound).Supernatural High by Freakapuss is the latest release from Zarjaz and comprises of 13 live recorded, extensively acoustic beat flavoured tracks embellished with ethnic tribal bongos, d'jembe and 21st Century lyrics.Zarjaz is a music legend in his own right. Zarjaz history stretches fromthe sublime to the outright bizarre, from Rockabilly and Proto Cyber Punkto Baroquabilly. He has been known for eccentric behaviour, often dressing up in eighteenth Century fashion and purveying classical music as pop music long before the likes of Paul McCartney and so on. Zarjaz was also once the singer of Sigue Sigue Sputnik. He left the position but not before the band adopted many of his ideas and styles.Freakapuss are currently giging around Great Britain and Europe. Band members include legendary percussionist Mike Bynoe. Freakapuss are also recording a new album, the details of which at this time remain closely guarded and secretive.
