Zyklon B Zombies: Death

Zyklon B Zombies: Death (Part Two)

Here’s another near three quarter of an hour’s worth of Dionysian Heights that Jeff and I did for Curly Jhon and Mackie for their Zyklon B Zombies performance project. The first part is here and the initial posting and extra information is here on my website…

Initial Facebook Posting

As I said, Curly Jhon found his old snaps and whacked them on Facebook. Naturally, the “offal” jokes had to follow. These two screenshots give more background to the Dionysian Heights events.

I’ve spent a bit of time cleaning up a tape I’ve come across.

As I described here on my personal website site, Ligger John and Mackie had a Zyklon B Zombie project for which Jeff and I made some custom backing music for them. The actual performances involved blood, guts and offal plus a variety of standard props like the bull and ivy on the right… The recording was far cleaner.

The video playing is the culmination of my clean-up and shows a cassette, the one I’ve sourced. For the young-uns reading this, this was how we made music portable, 40 years ago. This also explains why the track is 3/4 hours long since the cassette was 45 mins per side.

The initial track (~ 15 mins long) is yet another version of “Zombie Dance”, another is here, say. Other pieces then follow on. (SP)

Curly John Pops Up with Dionysian Heights Props

Just popped up on Facebook is Curly Jhon (CJ) with an old photo of himself and some props for a Dionysian Heights gig. CJ & Mackie did several gigs under the Dionysian Heights and Zyclon B Zombies moniker. Crawling Chaos provided a fair bit of custom background sounds for them.

Bloody Offal

This short Facebook conversation gives a hint of the nature of the performances, which, if my memory serves me correctly, sought and proved to be a blood-soaked offal-laden festival of over-the-top-ness.
