The Clitter Clatter Of Skateboards In My Ears Redux

Jonny Manak And The Depressives

1.2 Jiggawatts

2008

Jonny sent me a nice note with blessings and the new happenin' with our favorite manaks. In addition to working on a new album in HIS VERY OWN STUDIO he managed to work on a new son!
A very happy man.

Jonny Manak is a busy man. The professional skater is a ridiculously prolific musician who not only performs in numerous bands on various instruments but also fronts his own pet project, Jonny Manak & The Depressives. JM&D is a wild combination of rock n’ roll influences from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. There are elements of surf rock, rockabilly, punk and 60’s/70’s garage rock littered throughout their songs. Imagine Chuck Berry and Dick Dale playing classic rock with members of The Ramones and you’ve got the right idea. The group started two years ago when Manak decided to go solo after having played guitar, bass or drums for The Cliftons, Clay Wheels, The Odd Numbers, The Forgotten, Fang and many others. He wrote and recorded his debut, Rebound Town, on his own, playing all instruments himself. The record proved to be a huge local and underground hit and received rave reviews from Razorcake, Rhapsody, Absolutepunk.net, Skratch and many others as well as airplay on college, satellite, internet and commercial radio. JM&D recently released their second full-length album, 1.21 Jiggawatts. This time around, Manak recorded the album with his live band a.k.a. bassist Kris Perez, drummer Steve Campbell and guitarist Jake Griffiths. The group has performed nearly 200 shows in their two years together as a band. They most recently performed at the Refreshing Sounds Session in Amsterdam hosted by Heineken. They played a full set and had one of their songs remixed by three different local DJ’s that same night as part of a competition. Manak is also a professional skateboarder with his own deck, courtesy of Beer Run Skateboards. He skates for E’s Shoes, Sessions Clothing, Kronik Energy Drinks, Halos Bearings, Gripped Ape and Circle-A.

Good To The Last Drop

One of the many fine things about running this blog for the last five years has been the random acts of kindness exibited by the readers. While there has been little in the way of comments over the last year, the few that appear are always by someone willing to provide a little "give" for their "take". After a request for additional tunes by the Amino Acids I reposted the two CDs that I do have. I was pleasently suprised by a follow-up message containing the two additional CD's. Our friend in need turned into a friend in deed as the files are for Man... In The Universe? and their EP We Are Aliens. Submitted by the carp.

Biography by Alex Henderson
Known for their eccentric, goofy, humorous way of blending punk and surf rock (sometimes with a definite country influence), the Ziggens aren't a major name in the rock world but have enjoyed a small cult following since the early '90s. The Ziggens have always been based in Orange County, CA, just south of Los Angeles -- a logical place for artists who are into surf rock -- and the four-man band has a long list of influences from different musical eras. Clearly, they're into '60s surf favorites like the Ventures, Jan & Dean, and the Beach Boys -- they've even been compared to Annette Funicello -- but they're hardly an exact replica of artists from the Lyndon Johnson years; their sound also owes a lot to old-school punk bands of the '70s and '80s. The Ziggens (who like to describe their quirky approach as "cowpunksurfabilly") have never been known for taking themselves too seriously; they obviously identify with punk's more fun and lighthearted side, which means that they have more in common with the Ramones and the Dickies than with militant, angrily sociopolitical agitators like the Sex Pistols, the Dead Kennedys, the Clash, and early T.S.O.L. (before T.S.O.L. got away from left-wing politics and reinvented themselves as a heavy metal band along the lines of AC/DC, Accept, and Dokken). Think of the Ramones performing "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" and "Rockaway Beach" or the Dickies pounding out the nutty "You Drive Me Ape, You Big Gorilla" -- that's the type of wacky, absurdist punk that has had a major impact on the Ziggens. And when the Orange County residents incorporate country influences, one is reminded of rockabilly and classic honky tonk rather than slick, glossy country-pop or countrypolitan -- in other words, they sound like they've more likely to listen to Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, or Merle Haggard than Kathy Mattea or Trisha Yearwood.After their formation in 1990, the Ziggens provided several albums in the '90s and early 2000s and recorded for the Skunk and Cornerstone labels. In 2003, Cornerstone released a best-of collection titled Greatest Zits: 1990-2003, which spanned 13 years and contained a variety of material that the Ziggens had selected themselves. The Ziggens' lineup has included head honcho/founder Bert Susanka, aka Bert Ziggen, on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Jon Poutney, aka Jon Ziggen, on bass, Dickie Ziggen on lead guitar, and Brad Conyers, aka Brad Ziggen, on drums and background vocals.
