E-Mail IllegalZucchini@aol.com for details about their 2nd CD, "The Legend of Johnny Stagger".

"...when working on another level - Illegal Zucchini music is like drifting on an innertube into a cartoon city - peopled by old friends dressed in indifference and floating on beer bubbles... unexpected turns in the stream - find you back at your private reveries... bittersweet and heavy on solitude - but it's never a downer - it's one floor above indifference... two smoke signals!..." Anon Spoke, 6/01

LISTEN.COM REVIEW: "Illegal Zucchini are like Guided By Voices in that they're from Ohio and they sing with British accents. They also play a derivative of the same mid-1960s Beatles stuff (but much cleaner than GBV's version) with songs about sunlight and happiness instead of songs about being a forty-year-old heavy drinker who lives alone." Mike McGuirk, staff writer.
