Zion power duo started out as a 4-piece, and gradually lost a guitar player and bassist, leaving just Scott Lucas and Joe Daniels. On their Island Record debut, Ham Fisted you don't miss 'em, though. Their second effort, As Good As Dead, they don't sound quite so much like Nirvana and -- because of a lot of touring (opening for the likes of the Stone Temple Pilots), its sold 250,000+ copies. Their new album, Pack Up The Cats was produced by Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, The Cars, Journey), and it seems like -- surprisingly -- a good fit.

They recently made their movie debut in Samuel L. Jackson's movie The Great White Hype. They're not physically in the film, but Jackson first meets "great white hope" Terry Conklin performing the band's "Feed" with his garage band "Massive Head Wound." They're currently relaxing after spending 18 months on tour...

You canhear answering machine messages of Fig Dish's Blake Smith, Jesus Lizard's David Sims, and Juliana Hatfield on a bonus CD given away by Best Buy to promote Pack Up The Cats.
