We got there a little early and Buzz Zeemer had just finished rehearsing—I had my copy of Plaything with me. I had the entire band autograph the CD and Tommy Conwell said, “Don’t let this go to your head, guys!”
We saw The Bathers play and then Buzz Zeemer—they were spectacular! But then Buzz began playing new songs that I had not heard before and weren’t available yet: “Useless Information,” “Red Balloon,” “I Don’t Want To Fall,” and “There Should Be a Book.”
One of my friends left early after the first set—but he was going to be sorry for missing what we were about to see at that second set.
The Bathers came back and played again and then Buzz Zeemer came back, took the stage-- and played the show of a lifetime!
Song after song after song--the band would NOT stop playing and we were not complaining! I remember singing along to “What The Hell I Got” and just grooving. Finally, the band seemed to run out of tunes and started playing covers like Fats Domino’s “My Blue Heaven” and Cheap Trick’s “Downed.”
We were worn out by the end of the night. Me and my friend still talk about Buzz Zeemer’s amazing 2nd set at The Tin Angel to this day!"
LOST AND FOUND out on Friday, Sept. 8--get your pre-order on BandCamp!
From Main Street Music:
We are so excited to announce a debut release on Main Street Music Records: Lost and Found by BUZZ ZEEMER out September 8th. Almost 30 years in the making, this is a very personal release for Pat [Feeney], the owner of Main Street Music, who managed Buzz Zeemer during their run. Curated from recordings done with Adam Lasus between 1993 and 1997, Lost and Found is more than a collection of loose recordings; it’s truly a standalone record that tells the story of a band underrated during their time that sounds both classic and modern. If you’re a fan of 90s power pop and classic songwriting, Lost and Found is for you. Pre-orders for black and red translucent vinyl are available now on Bandcamp and in-store. First single “C’mon If You Can” will hit streaming this Saturday, June 24, the same day as the sold out Flight of Mavis reunion show at 118 North. More to come soon!
