Stratospheerius’ Joe Deninzon
May 30th, 2007
Lead by electric violinist/vocalist/mandolinist Joe Deninzon,
Stratospheerius unleash their fourth collection of songs. Hot
on the heals of their acclaimed CD, “Live Wires“, “Headspace”
brings their live energy into the studio. Vocal rock anthems like “New
Material, “Old Ghosts“, and “Today is Tomorrow“, shout
alongside some ripping instrumentals. From the bluegrass punk of “Gutterpunk
Blues“, to the psychedelic roller coaster ride of “Mental Floss“,
and the bigger and louder sequel to the Heavy Metal Hora “Heavy Shtettle
II“. The disc also features a unique cover of The Police
“Driven to Tears“. This album is filled with memorable hooks alongside
the ‘without a net’ instrumental jams the group has built its reputation on.
Influences range from the Mahavishnu Project, Mr. Frank
Zappa and the mighty Zeppelin, to Dave
Matthews, Radiohead, Jeff Beck, and
Bela Fleck.
I had the chance to chat with Joe to discuss the
new album, the strangest billings he’s been a part of and….well just
