Drama Surrounds The Animalz Band Member Lineup!
AUGUST 1, 2024 • CAPITOL CITY A&E MAGAZINE
The meteoric rise of the the Animalz through the music charts on a global scale has put pressure on guitar team between Buskers, who founded the band, and the revolving door that seems to plague the second guitar position in the band. The Animalz signature sound includes the unique mix of the lead and rhythm guitars now accented by Scruffy The Bass Cat beats in synchronicity with the quirky drum style of Gary Stix. The solid new sound of this menagerie of music, this furious fab furry fretful collection of artists.
In the early days the position was held by the heavy hands of Iggy Iguana but after a few hot headed rants at soundcheck at some of the biggest arenas in the world, Buskers famously fired Iggy in front of the entire crew and quickly inserted his father’s best friend who he calls Uncle Pete.
Prairie Dog Pete has all the chops but just doesn’t fit in with the younger members of the band. Currently Rikki holds the position and seems to be fitting in with the other your egos in this popular band! He brings a quirkydown home sound to the mix with his home made coffee box guitar.
