My daughter Naoko (ten years old) and I made a band called Zee Sneggs, and we’ve just put our first album up on Bandcamp.
What can I say about this album? We’ve talked about making a band together for about a year. We’d come up with new band names about every day, but nothing seemed to hit the spot until a couple weeks ago when somehow the topic of Snake Eggs came up and we both said “The Sneggs” at the same time. Then we changed “the” to be as if spoken with a French accent. So it’s not intended to be “The Zee Sneggs” but “Zee” means “the.”
We got really into the Cramps, and also Mercyful Fate, and you can hear that influence on a couple of these songs. We wrote most of the lyrics together, sometimes as an exquisite corpse. We wrote a few things together over the summer and then spent 3 days only working on writing and recording. I cried at the end because I didn’t want it to be over. Naoko didn’t cry. She told me to try to appreciate that we’d had a good time together.
I think I was crying because doing this brought back a feeling I had when I first started playing music, just being playful and sometimes earnest.
