[Editor’s Note – On Sunday October 7, 2012 a great show went down at Studio Seven in Seattle. One of the rockin’ bands to win over the audience was Portland’s Own, Toxic Zombie. A complete description of the show with photos of headlining band, the Koffin Kats, can be found here. Since Toxic Zombie showed themselves to be supremely gifted entertainers whom everyone should go out and see live at the first chance they get, we’ve decided to dedicate a page to their photos from the 10/7 show. Below is Holly Homan’s description of Toxic Zombie, below that are her incredible photos and below that is Toxic Zombie’s video.]
“Opening the entire evening was Toxic Zombie from Portland, OR. I had just entered the club when they came on stage and like a moth to the flame, I was immediately drawn toward them. They are fronted by the enormous Grimm Dizaster who has a voice that sounds like his throat is made of sandpaper. Two scantily clad go go dancers complete this band (Sam “Damn” Dietz – lead guitar, Bryan “SMASH” – drums, Chad Shaver – bass). The entire band was decked out in fake blood that was smeared over their faces, coming out their eyes, and strategically placed over any exposed parts of their bodies.
Guitarist Smash rarely stayed in one place very long and even jumped off the stage and ran around the dance floor a couple times without missing a lick. Musically, they are The Misfits, Iron Maiden, a little Ramones . . . Not much billy, but a lot of psycho. This band will make the dead rise. I can only imagine how much fun they’d be on Halloween. Definitely check them out. I had a blast watching them and had even more fun photographing them. Absolutely check out Toxic Zombie.”
