]]> The Zambonis at Best Video Performance Space tag:events.newhavenindependent.org,2013:index.php/calendar/index/1.57618 2013-05-24T01:00:02Z 2013-05-09T21:07:03Z alexbutterfield hhoffman@wesleyan.edu http://www.bestvideo.com/category_s/851.htm Hockey rock stars The Zambonis perform at Best Video Performance Space.

The Zambonis play the Best Video Performance Space on Thursday, May 23. The music starts at 8 PM and the cover is $5.

Few rock bands have been featured in both Sports Illustrated and Billboard. Few have played both punk-rock clubs and Hocket Arenas like MAdison Square Garden. Few have appealed to fans young and old. But the quirky 100% hockey-rock Zambonis have somehow prevailed—impressing music snobs, sports freaks and critics simultaneously.

The Zambonis formed in 1991 as a group that played nothing but songs about hockey. What started as a fun “little thing” is now the most popular sports-rock band in North America. Explaining the band’s unique style, Captain Dave Zamboni says, “We’re the only band in the world whose two biggest influences are The Beatles and Wayne Gretzky!”

Commenting on the disc, The Los Angeles Times wrote, “Slapstick meets slapshots…For the true hockey fan, this is a must. For the casual fan, it’s still one big smile.” While Billboard added, “They have a sense of humor about themselves…A timely and surprisingly appealing release.” Time Out New York chimed in, anointing the band “the Pearl Jam of hockey rock.”

Best Video is located at 1842 Whitney Ave. in Hamden. Phone (203) 287-9286.
