Gongzilla's 1st NAMM Jam will be held at the legendary Troubadour club in West Hollywood! GZ will be taking advantage of the NAMM music convention to have a little get together in LA with some of their friends. Delta Nove will kick things off with a slammin' drum set of world-funk.

And then we're jammin'...

Andre Cholmondeley (Project Object)

Rob Covacevich & Heath Bennett (Delta Nove)

And some surprise guests we um... can't name!

GZ
Journalist Bill Milkowski called Gongzilla “simply mind-boggling." GZ first released a series of mostly instrumental jazz/rock albums featuring second guitarists on each one, including jazz fusion legends Allan Holdsworth, David Torn, and David Fiuczynski. More recently, GZ has included some U.S. jam band heroes in its live performances, like guitarist Chuck Garvey and percussionist Jim Loughlin of moe., and has emphasized vocals, crafting songs which fuse with improvisational rock. The new studio record includes the aforementioned Garvey as well as Jake Cinninger of Umphrey's McGee plus guitarist David “Fuze" Fiuczynski (Screaming Headless Torsos) and bassist Kai Eckhardt of Garaj Mahal! Contradictions and balance; GZ's Rowe and Lozaga sing cool songs that will singe your soul while balancing both the hyper precision and the rockin' mayhem this band is capable of live.
