I'm having a strange formatting problem I didn't have the last time I came by your site. I'm seeing white text on a white background. The only way the text re:The Zulus is visible is when I select it as I would to copy. weird. anyway, I've added a Zulus vid at rokarolla@youtube since the last time I wrote. I'm on the hunt for 1984-1987 Zulus stuff. Uh oh. I'm having a strange formatting problem I didn't have the last time I came by your site. I'm seeing white text on a white background.

The place was pretty much empty but even with a minimal (embarassingly small crowd - less than 20 - these guys put on a show that blew away every other band I had ever seen - seriously professional and driving so much insane energy despite a disappointing turn out.<br/><br/>Seriously an incredible band. Thanks for the post.<br/><br/>Anyone know where I can get some MP3s of their stuff. I departed with my Vinyl a number of years ago and their ep was in there somewhere... Great post and great summary of the band.

We booked ‘em – for cheap, and they came out to the club.

Seriously an incredible band. Thanks for the post.

Anyone know where I can get some MP3s of their stuff. I departed with my Vinyl a number of years ago and their ep was in there somewhere…

They called it a day in early 1990 and I have missed them ever since. Thanks for posting these tunes.
