NEWS | SUMMER 2008

The Zydepunks featured in Rolling Stone

The Zydepunks had a stellar performance at this year’s NOLA Jazz & Heritage Festival. Good enough, it seems, to catch the attention of USA Today who picked them as one of this year’s festival highlights, and David Fricke, Senior Editor of Rolling Stone Magazine who wrote the following, “(The Zydepunks) set at this year’s Festival had the Cajun waltzers baffled. Everyone else jumped for joy to the speed-core mélange of klezmer tornadoes, Balkan dances, Celtic reels and bayou-squeezebox war – also available, at high velocity, on the band’s latest album, Exile Waltz.” You can see what the hype is about by catching The Zydepunks on tour this summer!
