Zeke Fishhead, aka Ed Volker, the leader of the Radiators, has released his latest collection of songs called, No Fun. It is available as a download here.
Volker had this to say about the release, “I spent from October 2013 to April 2015 playing a good bit of gigs—with Mollusc, The Rads, The Suspects, and with The Iguanas (as Los Reyes de Lagardo) when my gear was getting some upgrades …after Jazz Fest, in May, with all the recording gear working well, I returned to writing and recording and I’ve currently being gifted with very generous streams of Inspiration …”
The music is dedicated to memory and spirit of Eric Vandercar. He was a taper and major part of the Radiators’ community who was killed in a horrific train wreck in Connecticut.
No Fun finds Volker in fine form, penning songs that ponder love and loss, peace and politics, and mortality and modernity. The music ranges from sweet ballads to rave up rockers. The songs toss a few winks to the fishhead faithful and he even references Kirk, Spock, and Scotty in one of the standout songs, “50 Million Miles From Earth.”
Zeke Fishhead will be appearing on August 29 at Chickie Wah Wah. “It’s no fun…unless it hurts.”
