My first musical obsessions were Michael Jackson and the Rock-A-Fire Explosion. The latter being a band of animatronic animals playing shows every day at Showbiz Pizza Place in Hackensack, NJ. This was in the early 1980’s. Showbiz had arcade games, their own version of pizza, and an ever-present smell of beer and carpet mixed together. Now, the tricksters at Everything Is Terrible have teamed up with Meow Wolf to bring those days back to us. I got to produce the tracks that the band at their “Pizza Pals Playzone” plays, finally bringing my musical journey full circle. Teaming up with my partners-in-song, Orion Simprini and Linda Horwatt, we created a main theme for the exhibit, as well as some songs to introduce the characters to the audience. If you’re in Denver make sure to catch Pizza Pals Playzone at Meow Wolf!
