The Zambonis: The World's Only All Hockey Rock N Roll Band

 

 I have never been a hockey fan. I don’t really know why. It has everything someone could want in a sport, it’s fast paced, takes great skill and there is often blood. Maybe it’s because I never played it as a kid. It was not a family thing, I don’t remember anyone in my house ever mentioning it. 

They say you are never too old to change and I may just become a hockey fan yet, thanks to the Zambonis. The ‘Zambonis are a rock n roll band out of Bridgeport, Connecticut that play nothing but tunes about hockey. No love songs, break up songs or car songs, just hockey songs.

Okay, so they put out a couple of songs about hockey, big deal? Right? Try seven albums and counting. They play everything from punk to ska, metal, rockabilly and even country and western.

Mainly a recording act, they do play a few gigs a year  mostly in the northeast.  Last year they played a 2:30pm gig at a library in Roxbury, Connecticut! How rock n roll is that?

They have been sanctioned by the NHL and have been commissioned to write songs for several teams. There music is available on Spotify, Amazon, Apple etc..and you can checkout there videos on YouTube.

Tom Waits; Hippie?

Tom Waits, early 1970s. Waits once stated that he skipped the sixties, never had a black light or listened to Hendrix. These photos might indicate differently.
