   900 POUND GORILLA: General Info
Member Since10/10/2006
Band Websitewww.900poundgorilla.com
Band MembersJeff Edwards: drums, background vocals. Donat Kazarinoff: bass, lead vocals. John Baker: guitar, lead vocals. A little background info- 900 Pound Gorilla is: Jeff Edwards, formerly Julie Edwards, a circus midget who underwent a dangerous addadicktome procedure. Donat Kazarinoff hails from the small island of Jamaica where he was kicked out of the country for stealing weed from kids. John Baker was an orangutan wrangler at the New York Zoo who was kicked off the job for getting a little too personal with the monkeys. They all met at a Automatonophobia- (Fear of ventriloquist's dummies) meeting where they decided to overcome their fear by playing intense punk music to scare away the dummies. The rest is mystery. 900 Pound Gorilla: 900 Pound Gorilla - Music Review By Michael Johnson, HOT INDIE NEWS .com Date Published: December 17, 2008 900 Pound Gorilla: 900 Pound Gorilla - Music Review They categorize themselves as “metal” – now I grew up in the era of metal and though there are qualities that could place them into this narrow genre I’m not sure if it’s the right fit – it’s like how Wal-Mart stores put Evanescence in the Christian Music section – just doesn’t seem right. I could argue hair glam metal but certainly not, say, Slayer metal.. good news though – it doesn’t suck. “Gutterball” and “Shoot the Moon” are very catchy songs – maybe a little too much so for metal tagging. I love the guitar work and the vocals are unique enough that you can’t pigeonhole the group into a “Vince Neil” sound or whatever. “Monday Promises” is one of those kick ass songs you’d want to hear radio play on, but not like overkill ‘cause it’s just too good to be overused – but you want to crave to hear the vocal and guitar lines. It’s fashioned in such a way that it’s hard to remain motionless and you could easily jog to this if you’re not a pop star Nazi or something. “Big Fat Limo” is a fast paced song which speaks to us about the trials and tribulations of living a big rock star life. It is solid musically and I have no complaints. One of my favorite tracks is “Hyperactive” – it’s very fast, ballsy and I can see a lot of punk elements in the music and it’s ubercool so give that one a listen. The album is very tight and I enjoyed most everything about musically and vocally. Lyrically it was all good. Some songs kind of melted together, but other than that I see noting remotely bad. Vocals could be tighter or more congruent with the tone of the music and hell, the “Kiss Coffin” ad is hilarious so a solid 9 out of 10.
Influencespunk rock, metal, and other various rock and music. Jeff-I'm just going to guess here---Epitaph records, Fat Wreck Chords, real agrressive punk, anything that has some bite to it. Donat-pretty much the gamut of music, from ACDC to Earth, wind , and fire, Journey to jazz, Stones to Stravinsky, John---Metal---Ozzy to today's stuff-Trivium, Bullet for my Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold, Children of Bodom, etc., old school punk, melodic tunes, jazz, etc Here's a Bio for us , as well: The guys from 900 Pound Gorilla have been playing together a long , long time. Along the way, 900 Pound Gorilla recently received the award for Punk Rock Group of the Year at the 17th Annual Los Angeles Music Awards. In addition to this, they recently garnered 2 nominations for the All Access Magazine Awards-Best New Group and Best Hard Rock Group. The Band continues to expand their diverse fan base through shows and through their extensive web presence including: www.900poundgorilla.com, a myspace site, cd baby, itunes, Number1 music, MusicNation, this month in music, earbuzz.com, sonicbids, Feature sounds, cafepress.com, and many, many other sites. They have also been featured on 97.1 KLSX Radio, in No Cover magazine and on an accompanying cd. In June, they we’re featured on www.rockwired.com with an interview and show. They are also featured with a track on K.t. Recordz Guitars of Tomorrow and Indieguitarists.com. Their recording/rehearsal studio is now complete, with the addition of an analog 24 track machine, a 48 channel mixing board, extensive outboard equipment, and of course pro tools. The idea is to be able to record anytime and still get that fat, analog sound along with the editing of digital technology. The band has music on network and cable tv, published through ASCAP. John is also an audio mixer for a major post production company and Donat has recorded major artists such as Incubus, and Alien Ant Farm. Jeff was the operations manager/lifeblood of Schecter Guitars for 6 plus years and a touring musician. John and Donat went to high school together in Fremont , California playing in various bands playing talent contests and all sorts of high school shows. They played together in bands through college and around California and eventually started playing shows with Jeff's band at the time, Dead Lazlos Place (New Red Archives). John later joined Dead Lazlos Place for a year and a half before branching out. Alas things come full circle--jeff , john , and donat come together to form 900 Pound Gorilla. http://www.900poundgorilla.com www.myspace.com/900poundgorilla Discography 900 Pound Gorilla--Midnight in Suburbia, released independently 900 POUND GORILLA self titled debut, released Oct. 30th, 2006 P.O.
