“And You Drive Your Pretty Car”, Strawberry Zotz

This way: And You Drive Your Pretty Car

The Strawberry Zots are a psychedelic pop band from Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States.

1987: Zots Mach One (James Blond: Mark Andrews: Lead Vocals; Ron Blood: Bass & Vocals; Brad Clement: Keyboards & Vocals; Don Hill: Guitar, Vocals & Sax; Geno Jones: Drums; Ray Valdez: Guitar & Lead Vocals)

The Strawberry Zots are born as a show set performed by the band “James Blond.” 

Originally called GI Joe & The Strawberry Zots, the band featured the character G I Joe, a military vet who loved LSD and who had a propensity for flashbacks. The Band performed 60s bubble gum rock while GI Joe would drift in and out of this plane of consciousness sometimes curing up in a fetal position and emitting primal screams to the strains of the Monkees, Herman’s Hermits, or the Ohio Express — Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I’ve got Love in My Tummy, indeed. The Original GI Joe & The Strawberry Zots offended pretty much everyone.
The Strawberry Zots played music, as Don Hill would say, composed between Jan 1st 1960 and December 31st 1969; this, along with originals.
