Man, this is so impressive! It's like a perfect mix of Paolo Conte(Italy) and Astor Piazzola(Argentina) with some John Cale, Nina Simone, Tom Waits, John Lurie, and other geniuses. In the big picture, this sound is Zen For Pirates featuring the talented Zipster!!!
It's so great to have discovered a talented cat I hadn't heard of yet. Zipster, your performance here is spendid and the arrangements, instruments played...superb! You & your group seem to be a combination of Paolo Conti, Alberto Cortez and Astor Piazzola, with a little Tom Waits & David Bowie thrown in. Excellent music man!! -Hunter, USA/Mexico
Zipster! I'm so glad I found you. You have brought laughter into my life because of your great sense of humor, not afraid to laugh at yourself and society. I hail you as America's Benny Hill! I'm 58 and sure could use a good laugh these days and your made it happen. Thanks! Keep on rockin!
You want more? Buy the album it's loaded with GREAT stuff. Some of the most unusual, intelligent and interesting music I've fallen in love with in a long time. Zipster/Terry is GREAT in all his musical offerings. Try Zen's other albums AND his Pretty Face albums. GREAT GREAT stuff trust me. LYZ
So glad to see T.Roth from Another Pretty Face is stil around. He still sounds great. I used to love a song they did, I think it was called Idaho. Wish they would have another reunion so I could see them again. Anyone remember Kink E.Slink Band?
You spent life well, you have so many characters who ever knew you could go from just a reporter about your life, to a women character that is very interesting, to a singer 5/5 .
Awesome voice! You seem so very talented. I've been checking out some of your different videos, I love the Loco Mama vids...good stuff! You should have your own tv show or something. :-) Anyway, your band seems pretty cool, the music style is so different from what I normally listen to, but I still like it. I'm pretty agreeable/open to all types of music...this seems pretty cool.
damn dude, I didn't know you were a musician too! I normally am into some very harsh underground stuff, but I like lightening up here and there. Good band sir.
Gee willikers! I'm totally new to your videos... I didn't know you could sing like this! Wow, and you got kinda a whole David Bowie thing going on. So, I'm gonna go look for another stage perfomance of yours where i can hear you over the saxaphone. :P Thanks for posting your interesting life on youtube.
Zipster, just so many layers and characters! Loco Mama caught me and I think you're an excellent manager for her talents! The Zipster drives me a little nuts and I wondered why you didn't supply Loco's music. I think the music cuts a little close to home and that's where Terry lives.
3 in 1 must be tough, but it's gorgeous. Harmonica and violin has to be appreciated! I like this fella and all his flawed characters!
Zipster! :O HOLY SHIT! I had no Idea you had such an amazing voice! I used to watch your vid about you just talking bout thing (Also very enjoyable) Amazing, Zippy! Your like an older david bowie with a little tom waits mixed in with your own unique elegance. Great job!
...Zipster, you have talent man, you can be a funny no teeth man, a funny drag queen, and in this segment you show you have real class, love ya, Paul from P.A.
You know it has been driving me crazy who you reminded me of and it just hit me - Anthony Hopkins! This was great Zipster. You are sure the man of so many faces that is for sure! Kudos on the montage.
This is a fabulous montage! Thanks to you - or Diana? *waves* Thanks Di!!! I love seeing this side of you Terry, you are sine qua non!! Your harp player is stunning, and *strings*? bliss!! I'm curious about the name "bummertent".. I'm one of the Bummer Family.. long story. OK, I'm headed over to the website. Wheee!
Happy New Year Terry
