Tonight at Walter's, Tzar Bomba takes the stage with some other great local bands: The Dimes and Something Fierce. The Red Leaves from Austin are also on the bill. Be sure to come out and show your support.
I recently asked Luis Roa, Cramer, and Andres from Tzar Bombaa few questions for Houston Calling. He was kind enough to answer. Enjoy.
HC: How did Tzar Bomba get started as a band?
Luis: Andres and I have been making music since high school, the only problem was finding other people to make music with. We tried doing the whole duo band with only bass and drums (even going as far as naming ourselves Sarcophagus.
. .) but it was.
.. bad.
Only getting gigs at Cardi's. We went through numorous people and in a final attempt of desperation I went looking through the houstonbands.net to see if there was anyone I could find.
Cramer was making music with a dude named Zach at the time, who now plays in a band named Big Bad Blank, and from there we kept in touch since we seem to hit it off pretty damn well but it wasn't until a few months later that I came up with the brilliant idea to add Andres. It was genius.
HC: How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard it before?
Luis: We dread answering this kind of question. It's hard because all of us contribute a different feel. Andres and I were really into metal and Cramer had way different tastes in music than us so I'm amazed we're even in a band.
So we'll just say to come to our shows and see us.
HC: You guys have a demo that's being played on KTRU and have played quite a bit around town this year. Have you been happy with the response you've gotten from local crowds so far?
How can people get a copy of the demo?
Cramer: What?
