The Limbs Make Noise

Check out what Jeremy Brashaw from Westword’s Back Beat Online had to say about John Mazzucco (AKA The Limbs) when he performed with Th’ Legendary Shack Shakers earlier this month:

“[...]Following the documentary, and the rousing ovation it received, was the Limbs, a local outfit led by John Mazzucco. Armed with a guitar and a drum set up out of some demonic marching band, Mazzucco began the set with a crunch that never stopped. While relying on so little, Mazzucco somehow managed to sound like (and I know this will be hard to swallow) a mixture of Daniel Johnston and ZZ Top. Of course this kind of thing can easily break down into novelty, but Mazzucco held it together with a charm and presence that made you forget that he’d lost the beat more than a couple times. Finishing off his set, with the crowd clamoring for more, Mazzucco played a number that was so fierce that for a second I believed that Sabbath was a one man band.”—Jeremy Brashaw, Westword Backbeat Online (Wednesday, July 2nd 2008)
