Engineer Tony Kroposky
Taking some time off from his mad schedule of recording and playing, Zigman Bird’s recording engineer Tony Kroposky sat down for a one on one interview.
Do you have any previous experience in the recording field?
TK: I first started dabbling with recording around 1990 on a Fostex 4-track tape recorder. I had a great time with that, and eventually went on to study Audio Recording at William Paterson College. This was before digital, so we did everything with real outboard gear on 2in tape. After I got my degree I spent a lot of time on the other side of the board playing music and recording albums with various bands such as The Number Theory, Buddha Tribe, Little Dipper, and A Halo Called Fred. » Read the full story

A while back Zigman completed their Covers ep. It was a bunch of tracks the band likes to do at live shows and whenever. We posted a snippet about it and put one of the songs up here at the site. Well we’re putting another cut off the ep, this time from Aerosmith from back in the heyday, back in the saddle. Check out their version of Toys in the Attic below:

We had a chance to sit down with Zigman Bird’s lead singer/songwriter Keith Beck recently for a one on one interview. The interview took place at a studio in Trenton, NJ, where the new record is being recorded.
Is there any hope for rock n’ roll?
KB: Well, there will always be people who will pick up an instrument and blow their load for the sake of Rock and Roll. Commercially I don’t see much happening as a R&R movement. There are great new bands all over the world. New bands doing it because it feels good and it’s fun. Unfortunately it seems like TV, MTV, American Idol etc. want to see/hear robots who are flawless. » Read the full story
