Zen Lunatics
Zen Lunatics are a
Tempe,
Arizona based pop rock band formed in the early 1990s. Originators of what became know as the
Moon Valley Sound, Terry Garvin (vocals/guitar), Chris Hansen Orf (vocals/guitar), Ric Napoli (drums) and Gilbert Padilla (bass guitar/vocals), all from
Phoenix,
Arizona, combine classic pop rock sensibilities in the vain of
The Beatles,
The Who, and The 1910 Fruit Gum Combany, with
kabuki-style make-up, and bombastic stage antics to create what some describe as a most memorable musical experience. The effect of Zen Lunatics on Western culture is regarded as immeasurable by some.
