ZAPATA! is roots music done their own-style: with unapologetic, edgy rock styling. Zapata's guitar, said by J. Mozersky to be “a voice on its own,” leads into the song with sharp, hard cuts, before G.Clark/A.Daniels's incomparable, fleshy drums. The songs are simple and natural, but the jaggedness of Zapata’s guitar contributes a roughness that, when mixed with G.Clark/A.Daniels lunatic rhythms you can feel in your gut, results in a vivid Rock experience…the low down Texas way.

Thank you so much for coming in yesterday! I turned around to give you a hug before you left and you were already gone! Guess I will just have to make it to a show!
Just a quick note to let you know that we made a road trip from Houston to see Doyle Bramhall II last night. After seeing your set, I think we chose the right night to visit Antones. Enjoyed it! Looking forward to next time.
