Alzir

A scientific expedition disembarks from its plane at the final outpost of civilization in the deepest Amazon rain forest. They immediately notice the ceaseless thrumming of native drums. As they venture further into the bush, the drums never stop, day or night, for weeks.



The lead scientist asks one of the natives about this, and the native's only reply is "Drums good. Drums never stop. Very bad if drums stop."



The drumming continues, night and day, until one night, six weeks into the trip, when the jungle is suddenly silent. Immediately the natives run screaming from their huts, covering their ears. The scientists grab one boy and demand "What is it? The drums have stopped!"



The terror-stricken youth replies "Yes! Drums stop! Very bad!"



The scientists ask "Why? Why? What will happen?"



Wide-eyed, the boy responds, " . . . BASS SOLO!!!"



Alzir are a three piece stoner rock act hailing from the small village of Liphook in Hampshire. After a couple of line up changes over the years, the current line up now consists of Chris Charles on lead/rhythm guitars and vocals, Stu Snelling on bass and backing vocals and Phil Gerbi on drums. The present line up have been writing and performing together since the summer of 2005. They have made it their mission to write the music that they love to play and you love to hear. Taking their influences from 70’s rock and metal bands such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, and more contemporary bands like Clutch, Kyuss, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. Alzir are an eclectic mix of blues, grunge and stoner rock. Although their music has darker overtones, Alzir manage to keep their music upbeat with an intoxicating groove that infects anyone who comes into contact with it. Do not be fooled by the fact there are only three members, this power trio’s sound is like being hit by a sonic sledge hammer. With their low strung, monstrous riffs, blazing guitar solos, chest rattling bass lines and pounding drum beats. Alzir are definitely a force to be reckoned with, so… Watch out people Alzir are coming to desecrate you!
