Twentieth Century Zoo

A middling late-sixties psychedelic group, Twentieth Hundred years Zoo were the very first such music group from Phoenix to obtain an album released and nationally distributed, even though that LP was on a little L.A. label, rather than lots of people would hear it. The music group developed from the Bitter Sweets, which experienced several regional singles in 1966 and 1967. In 1967 and 1968, Twentieth Hundred years Zoo had several singles on the tiny Caz label, the to begin these, “YOU DO NOT Remember, ” becoming respectable psych-punk within the mold from the Music Machine. In past due 1968, the group documented an recording in LA for Vault Information, Thunder on the Clear Day time. Featuring elongated fuzz-sustain riffs and weighty organ, somewhat in the way of Fever Tree, there is little to create it stick out from the masses of related late-sixties American albums. Sometimes there is also a difficult blues-rock feel, that could break right into tedium on much longer tracks, like a ten-minute cover of Small Walter’s “Blues with a sense.” Twentieth Hundred years Zoo surely got to open up for several larger rings in Phoenix, such as for example Iron Butterfly and Blue Cheer, and do one more solitary for Vault before splitting up in 1970. Their recording was reissued by Sundazed in 1999, with non-LPs singles and outtakes tacked on as reward tracks.
