The Ravages evolved out of the teeming primordial musical ooze of Brooklyn in 2005, when young Zarrin-Taj ventured up from the Jersey Shore with her guitar and a bag full of unapologetically poppy rock and roll songs. With Jay “Beefcake” Grossen on drums, Thirsty Rex on bass, and a revolving cast of guitar players, artists, projectionists, friends and friendemies, the Ravages’ parties rocked New York clubs, creating a micro-scene within the scene.

Lusting for more, the insatiable Zarrin-Taj and company now prowl the West Coast seeking kindred spirits and willing victims, part of a master plan to ravage the languishing American soundscape.

Handsome John Epperly produced and plays guitar on “Life on Display”.
