Clebrity Night Shot

Clearly a cult band developed from a cult sport is a case of two wrongs making a right because The Zamboni's, a band that performs songs primarily about - you guessed it - hockey, has been enjoying success for a long, long time now.

The band has found its niche as an enjoyable rock/punk/humorous sort of gig. They produce great sounding, catchy tunes that just so happen to be about hockey. In fact, they're probably one of the few bands to ever be reviewed in both Billboard Magazine as well as ESPN Magazine:

"On paper, it sounds like a novelty: an album of songs that celebrate hockey. But in the hands of The Zambonis (a pop-rock quartet named after the ice-grooming machine), the concept is elevated to an art form that won't melt under the heat of critics or music fans. Despite the specificity of the album's theme, The Zambonis rock out like the best power pop units. What's more, they have a sense of humor about themselves...A timely and surprisingly appealing release." -Billboard

"Their new record is as goofy, poppy and puck-obsessed as their previous two...Hockey heads and indie rock fans, you'll love these guys!" -ESPN Magazine

The band is made up of Dave Schneider (guitarist,singer), Jon Aley (guitar, bass), Steve Tanski (guitar, bass), Mat Orefice (drums) Tarquin Katis (hardcore vocalist), Peter Katis (Producer) and Matt Gonzales (Hockey Monkey). They've toured all across the world and are a truly hard working band that you just can't help not loving - especially when they're such big hockey fans. You've probably heard some of their songs before, whether it be on a hockey video game, during any hockey airings on the Versus Network, or, for that matter, during a re-airing of Nickelodeon's Kablam! program.

I could drag on about how awesome these guys are but really I'd just be boring you with some pretty impressive details. So check out their Web site, or their Facebook page, or their MySpace page for that matter and enjoy.
