Zoomer was born in Louisiana swamp country. His teachers thought he was taking drugs as early as 4th grade. The truth is, he never tried drugs until after high school. His bent toward fatalism was inspired by writers William S. Burroughs and Charles Bukowski. In his high school file, Zoomer's counselor remarked, "This young man has traits of both a sociopath and an eccentric artist. He seems to be equal parts genius and zombie."
Zoomer�s sonic art owes a debt to T-Rex, Eno, and other freaky obscure titles. His approach on Maximum Plastic has been labeled "Fuzz Pop" by Phillip Collier of NowSounds Magazine. The opening cut Tickets To Mexico produced by Jim Ebert (Jason Faulker, Bad Brains) is as icy as a blended Margarita. Zoomer�s desert dry wit and baritone delivery float effortlessly on a sea of psychedelia. One listen to Changing Lanes, produced by Gary Brandt (Beck, Red Hot Chili Peppers), will merge your mind into the fast lane and leave your body double parked.
Accompanied by Max Trash (Drums), Jo-Jo Starr (Bass), and John Lovedog (Sax), Zoomer recorded Maximum Plastic in six days at Slider Studios in Hollywood, CA. It was financed on his girlfriend's Visa card-- after maxing out her card, the CD�s title was born. "All we had left was enough for Coffee and Suzie-Qs for the entire week." The result, according to Zoomer�s therapist:
"A Stratospheric hybrid-sonic assemblage of melodic noise and song emanating from the unused gray matter of his cerebral cortex....... and then some."
