In this episode, I’m talking with Chris “Box”, Tony, and Marc from Mazinga. I’ve been a huge fan of Mazinga since seeing them for the first time back in 2009. It was outstanding to finally talk with them and learn about the origins of the band as well as chat about their new epic album called Chinese Democracy Manifest - Greatest Hits Vol. 2. The story behind the album name and some of the tunes on this album are pure gold. As usual, we talked about music origins for each band member, our mutual love of Black Sabbath, and pizza.
You can catch Mazinga live at Tip Top Deluxe in Grand Rapids on April 11, and over at the Sanctuary in Hamtramck on April 12th.
