Vince Ratti met Rachel Minton at summer camp in 2000. Vince was the 2-1
favorite in the potato sack races and Rachel had made a name for herself
as the braces and head-gear wearing champion of the "who can swing the
highest on the tire swing" competitions. They crossed paths for the first
time by the Good Humor Ice Cream truck where they both ordered
Sno-Cones. "I like to rock", said Vince. "I like to rock too", said Rachel.
At that moment, Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer was born. The band
started out playing for their families at pool parties and holidays. Vince
was the hip-swaying lady swooner with the guitar, and Rachel was the
blonde-haired pixie diva with the microphone. Before long, the kids in their
neighborhood became such big fans that the band was often asked to play
the national anthem before local stick ball games. It wasn't long before
Zolof was sorting through piles of recording contracts. One in particular
caught their attention, "Eyeball Records". The cigar-smoking, Armani
suit-wearing, sweet-talking fat cats at Eyeball promised the band legions of
fans and their own private jet. Who could resist? In fall of 2003 they
signed... in their own blood. Eyeball immediately put Zolof in the studio with
"Big Time" producer Johnny B. Handsome; a producer so amazing that he
could put a microphone in an empty room and still get a gold record out of
it. Unfortunately, shortly after recording began, Handsome was arrested
and charged with shooting a prostitute in a Vegas motel room...something
the label strongly supported but the band felt discouraged by. They decided
to hole up in Vince's house and make the record at home...without a
"Big Time" producer. "We need a band", said Vince. "I would also like a
band", said Rachel. And within a few weeks they compiled a line up of
drifters, ex-cons, and fancy showmen. |
