JOY ZIPPER
Joy Zipper
Already the toast of England, Joy Zipper are a couple of ex-patriot Long Islanders who are ready to bring it on home with their self-titled debut. Vinny Cafiso and Tabitha Tindale are "real life lovers" who offer up a tantalising, bewitching, dream-like world where it's always summer and the love is free - at least until the bad trips kick in. It's a thoroughly contemporary sound with hints of eras gone by. Tabatha "discovered" Vinny when he was a guitar player in a My Bloody Valentine-style band playing around Manhattan. The two of them went out for a bit' he wrote her a couple of love songs; and, in true Janine-Spinal-Tap fashion, Tab decided Vinnie should be the singer. The band broke up and Joy Zipper was born. "… like Kim and Thurston from Sonic Youth reciting Pet Sounds to each other as pillow talk. Once this worms into your mind it ain't going anywhere." - iD Magazine
