Vince Ratti met Rachel Minton at summer camp in 2000. Vince was the 2-1 favorite in the potato sack races and Rachel had made a name for herself as the braces and head-gear wearing champion of the “who can swing the highest on the tire swing” competitions. They crossed paths for the first time by the Good Humor Ice Cream truck where they both ordered Sno-Cones. “I like to rock”, said Vince. “I like to rock too”, said Rachel. At that moment, Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer was born. The band started out playing for their families at pool parties and holidays. Vince was the hip-swaying lady swooner with the guitar, and Rachel was the blonde-haired pixie diva with the microphone. Before long, the kids in their neighborhood became such big fans that the band was often asked to play the national anthem before local stick ball games.

It wasn’t long before Zolof was in the studio with “Big Time” producer Johnny B. Handsome; a producer so amazing that he could put a microphone in an empty room and still get a gold record out of it. Unfortunately, shortly after recording began, Handsome was arrested and charged with shooting a prostitute in a Vegas motel room…something the label strongly supported but the band felt discouraged by. They decided to hole up in Vince’s house and make the record at home…without a “Big Time” producer. “We need a band”, said Vince. “I would also like a band”, said Rachel. And within a few weeks they compiled a line up of drifters, ex-cons, and fancy showmen.

Together the band recorded “Jalopy Go Far”, and has embarked on a worldwide arena tour. That is, of course, if you define an arena tour as “One trip to a baseball game for Rachels birthday”. They define their ultra infectious style of music as “Spunk Rock” and the world agrees. This band will be the biggest thing since Wonder Bread, and the most wonderous thing since Big Bread. Whatever that means.
