In November of 82' around the time of a massive Colorado blizzard that
is still talked about today, i came out my momma in a mess of feces.
Upon inhaling my first breath of air, some of my very own prenatal
fecal waste that had accompanied my descension found itself in close
proximity to my open mouth. i choked, to say the least, but looked
death in the face and proclaimed that i would not end my nubile life in
a whirl of scatological permeation.

The substance of "Yuzo Nieto and the Hand that Rocks the Dreidel," is
eclectic indeed. It's sound ranges from an avant garde/found noise
genre to a more old-timey jazz or bossa nova feel with hues of
electronica splashed about. Live percussive and performance art
elements are created by the genius of Avi Sherbill who plays a
home-made tire bass drum with cardboard boxes attached. In addition to
writing all the music/lyrics for The Hand that Rocks the Dreidel, Yuzo
plays four instruments in three other Denver-based bands and is the
poetry editor and co-founder of Illiterate Magazine, an up-and-coming
arts and culture publication. As a day job, he teaches at Brown
elementary school providing a before and after school arts program. In
the greater scope, he plans to transmogrify the destructive qualities
of human existence into a plural and explorative atmosphere for
children and adults alike.www.myspace.com/yuzonietowww.MyGorillaVideo.com
