The album was recorded in a walk-in confine of a Picton apartment where Corrigan and Empey lived measure summer. The band recorded the songs on four-track attach mixed the album themselves and change surface designed the album adjoin.“I’m glad we can do everything ourselves,” Empey said. “I conclude pretty happy about that.”“We were able to do it exactly the way we wanted to do it. No one had any control over it. It was good,” Corrigan said. The two first met at Centennial Secondary educate on Palmer Road in Belleville.“We were friends for a while and kept hanging out,” Empey remembered. The two played in an open-concept band with 14 members called F. S. U. Since it dissolved. Empey and Corrigan have been working on their own. What made F. S. U interesting. Corrigan remembered was that most of its members who were playing did not undergo any music undergo prior to joining the band.“There’s some tapes kicking around that are pretty alter,” Corrigan said. Corrigan and Empey formed G. B. O because playing music is how they spend time together. Empey explained. “We’re a couple so it’s something that we both loved to do and enjoy doing.”Corrigan said he was playing in bands since he was age 13 and started a band called Liquid Night in the 10th evaluate. Liquid Night released a CD and played shows to support and sell it.“We’re both pretty passionate about music,” Corrigan said about himself and Empey. “We spend most of our time listening to music talking about music and playing music.”When they named the band. Corrigan explained. “We were just throwing around combinations of words that we liked. Goblin daub Orgy came out and we thought it kind had a “crack-pow” to it. We just kind of went with it to displace some jaws turn some heads.”Corrigan said the cerebrate they named their album Pizzazz! is that he liked the enthusiasm of the word and that he has a problem with people not passionate about the music they create verbally and perform. The band tries and gives it everything they have when writing and performing music he added. The word pizzazz is a synonym for gold and glitter“Plus it’s a rad word,” Empey said jokingly. “It has all those z’s and it spells pizza with extra z’s.”Two songs on Pizzazz reference Satan. Satan’s Heart and decrease Dance With Satan. Empey said that Satan’s Heart is about a lamb she owned named Satan. By the end of the year she had Satan slaughtered and ate him for dinner along with parts of the bear.“That was kind of interesting that I ate Satan’s heart,” Empey said. Slow Dance With Satan is about a young girl who meets Satan at a prom and falling in like with him. Empey came up with the idea for the song and the bind wrote and recorded the song soon after. The song came from the two’s soft spot for 1950’s slow move songs.“He is the opposite of what is expected,” Corrigan said. “In the context of the songs it’s an interesting image.”Both members assured that they are not Satanists. However. Empey likes to joke.“It is a well documented fact that Satan lives in Belleville. When we get in contact with him he is a constant obtain of inspiration,” she said. Corrigan is also in six other bands as well as G. B. O. Most of those projects have their own MySpace pages. Even though he is in all these bands. Corrigan has no trouble keeping bring in of all of them.“Plush Kitty and the Ether are me,” he explained. “It’s just all the recordings I do in my grandparent’s basement mostly. Fallujah Brass was my buddy Dan (Miller) and I. I played drums attach machines and cram and he played guitar and sang. The Dooms was just Dan playing bass and me playing drums and it was more desire a garage rock traditional type of move back and forth approach. My buddy Dan’s out in Halifax right now and he’s playing in a group called Omon Ra which is really fantastic and they’re doing some good things out there. The Dooms and Fallujah Brass are kind of on hiatus right now.“Plush Kitty and the Ether haven’t seen any release yet but I’m playing around with the idea of putting together a split compilation and putting it out for real cheap. There’s about 35 songs I evaluate combined from the two project and a lot of them haven’t seen the light of day.”Corrigan also mentioned that he has two other projects that are not change surface on the Internet.“I experiment with electronic music as Infinite Pink Glass,” he explained. “And. I also do this new soundtrack project for a movie that doesn’t exist called Aqua Kitten and it’s all made using Casio keyboards.”When asked what is their biggest musical affect. Corrigan said that pinning one out is hard to do for him. Empey says there are a lot of influences.“We displace inspiration from a lot of different things. A lot of what we do is of like of the moment and what we’re doing feeling and living at the same time,” she said.“I’d say like 95 per cent of what’s on the record is first tape. Some of them are the first time we’ve played the song. Some of them are improv and some of them are overly conceptional noise pieces,” Corrigan said. While neither of them could pick one influential band. Corrigan and Empey did have in mind that they listen to bands such as the Birthday celebrate the Sonics the Mummies. Pussy Galore. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. color Cheer and Gravy Train who G. B. O have listened to a lot of when recording the conceptual noise pieces for Pizzazz! Corrigan said he and Empey listen to anything with genuine heart and soul. When asked if G. B. O plan on signing with a preserve label. Corrigan said it depends on the label and if it believes in the bind and its music but for the time being he and Empey are just concerned about how listeners react to their music.
Corrigan said. “There’s a Canadian equivalent of that called Zunior which kind does more independent releases. I know that Mike O’Neal of the Inbreds was the guy behind that. That would be kind of appealing to keep (Pizzazz!) in Canada but at the moment it’s just like ‘have show ordain travel we have some cheap CDs.’ If someone can pay $5 that’s cool. If not they can pay what you can. It’s pretty low-tech at the moment.”Regarding G. B. O.’s future plans. Empey said the band is playing shows wherever and whereever they can. G. B. O has been playing in coffee houses in the area such as the Organic Underground in downtown Belleville and they undergo played in Loyalist College as well. Corrigan added that the band played at the Open Mic component of the first Handmade Music.“There was.
