mazzola

USA 1969/70
The first album was recorded in 1969 in Chicago as Fingletoad & Strange. Only very few acetates where pressed. A year later the band recorded another album as Fingletoad, Strange & Siho under the titel Mazzola. Perhaps less than 100 records where pressed. This band of young bohemian Americans recorded 2 albums with all original songs. The music takes the listener into a Psychedelic Trip merging imaginary landscapes with Teenage Angst. Clearly influenced by the top musicians at the time, The Beatles , Neil Young and Jimi Hendrix, they undoubtedly manage to create a sound all their own ranging from beautiful lyrical ballads with harmony vocals to over the top Fuzz and Feedback frenzy. Professional execution but still retaining a Garage atmosphere and production, creates the perfect mix.
