BOB REMINGTON: GUITAR, VOCALS FOR THE BAND ZIPPERHEAD .............. Longtime blues/rock legend, this man can take you to the top, rock you to the bottom, then leave you with the bill! A positive man that knows any tone out of a guitar is hairy. Likes his amps loud, his guitars old and his strings gritty. Having Mark Khedroo , Bass Player from the very heavy Chicago Punk Band "OUT OF ORDER" and Jim Kendall from Chicago New Wave band "321" make this a very huge sounding power trio. ************************************************************ ****His/Story- In his home town of Lake Bluff, IL Bob Remington started out playing guitar for a local band called the Wana Bez . Later they renamed the band Highway Child playing in Chicago clubs like The Metro, Lounge Axe, The Avalon, Orphans, Traffic Jam , Biddy Mulligan's, Shades to name a few; sharing the stage with The Insiders, Skid / The Way Moves, Graham Elvis / The Elvis Brother's, Dick Holliday & The Bamboo Gang , Scott Bennett and the Obviouse, Down Town Scotty Brown. Later in the late 90's the band got the oportunity to open for Dave Mason , Adrien Belew & The Bears, Stepenwolf ( thanks Roger!) Big head Todd & The Monsters, Molly Hatchett, Missing Persons, Quiot Riot, Smashing Pumpkins, Something Brothers, Phantom Helmsmen, Rollover, WishBone Ash, not exactly in that order ........ whew! After the lead singer moved to GA , Bob made the band into a trio and renamed the band Zipperhead. www.zipperheadrocks.com . They released thier 1st disc 6 in 1994. Recorded at Idful Studios in Wickerpark, Chicago with Casey Rice ( Liz Phair /Brad Wood) the band left the recording unmixed due to the lack of cash. You can still listen to the recording / Disc in this state and many enjoy it this way. Zipperhead has a new Disc out called "Key Of Z " recorded at Ambush Studios, Northfield, IL. www.ambushrecordings.com. Both "6" & "Key Of Z" can be purchased at www.cdbaby.com or at the zipperheadrocks web site. ZIPPERHEAD will be seeing you around town soon!!"We really only play the Double Door like twice a year" - Bob Remington*************************************************** ************Richard Miln of WXRT 93.1 Chicago says " I put on thier new disc " Key of Z " and I continually turn the volume up , this rocks, they Rock!" .................Chris Payne of WKQX, Local Q101 in Chicago says " Zipperhead makes me want to bitch slap my grandmother" ..........................Erin Carman of WLUP 97.9 Chicago "The Loop" says"These guys are definitely putting the "Classic" back into todays rock sound. Dirty, crank it up, party rock. "Randy Vaughan VanHendix" ..............................Steve Dahl of 104.5 The Jack FM Chicago states "George Winston without a Piano!" . Buzz laughs................................********************** ******************************************Bob also plays guitar in the Chicago rock band Rollover.
