Electronica artist
Earl Zinger is actually none other than
Rob Gallagher, who formerly led the Talkin' Loud label's acid jazz band
Galliano.
Zinger owns a well-crafted and impressive resumé. Unfortunately, it is highly fictional. It boasts of his associations with
Jack Kerouac,
Allen Ginsberg,
William S. Burroughs, and other luminaries, while touting his influence over such musical artists as
Bob Marley and
Bob Dylan.
Put Your Phazers on Stun and Throw Your Health Food Skyward, issued by K/7 in 2002, marked the fictional
Zinger's debut.
Gallagher, in his guise as
Zinger, clearly has a sense of humor, which shows in everything from
Zinger's songs to the interviews he refuses to conduct but which are given through a third party who supposedly knows him. ~ Linda Seida
