About Zonik
1) Zonker the Brainless, alternately known as Tortusoid or Zonik, has no hair and an ear for really weird sounding tunes. Mixing since October 2006, Zonker's musical background consists of singing in a barbershop quartet and air-guitaring the bass part in Bela Fleck's Sinister Minister. Raised in Yellow Springs, Ohio, hippie oasis in a sea of rednecks, Zonker's sense of isolation and alienation expressed itself in a taste for Dirty Rotten Imbeciles and Suicidal Tendencies, which evolved later into a fascination with industrial sounds like Skinny Puppy and Art of Noise-tinged electronica.
Disappearing from the face of the earth for a period of ten years after he started graduate school, had two kids, and changed jobs three times in two years, he came up for air in 2005 when by pure chance he heard Sasha's Rabbitweed on rhapsody's internet radio and wondered, where the hell can I hear more of that? Has been driving family crazy with obsession with electronic music (or as he calls it, "music that doesn't suck") ever since.
