Besides the passion and love we have for intelligent lyrics combined with high energy kick ass rock... it was the lure of sleazy motel rooms, fast groupies and a free continental breakfast that inspired us to become and continue being musicians (Okay, we like the music too)." Z.D.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
"When you play music for a living, sometimes you take almost any job that comes along," says Zak, the tall, trim lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist who fronts the four piece outfit. "A few years ago we were literally existing from gig to gig, when an odd looking gentleman approached us after a show and asked if we'd like to score and play on the soundtrack for a film he was producing. Imagine our surprise when a few days later, we arrived at a Hollywood Hills mansion that featured a home studio and was also the location for the film, a Triple X rated one at that."
"After completing the soundtrack later that week, we were asked to select a fictitious name for the credits. As a lark, we selected "The ONE EYED SNAKES." Now, we didn't make this choice to offend women or anything like that, we were just having fun with the new, ugh, genre in which we were working. And guess what, the producers rejected the name because they thought it was too raunchy (Say What? It's a porn flick!). I don't recall what name was used for the music credits, but we decided then and there that the "One Eyed Snakes" moniker would be resurrected." And with their eponymous debut CD on independent BIG WATER RECORDS, Zak and his mates did just that.
