Full Bio
What´s in a name?
The burgeoning Los Angeles club scene has witnessed the birth of dozens of quality rock bands from the Doors to Guns ´N´ Roses, but none quite so humorously defiant as ZAK DANIELS & THE ONE EYED SNAKES. Take the band´s name for instance. ´´When you play music for a living, sometimes you take almost any job that comes along,´´ says Zak, the tall, trim lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist who fronts the four piece outfit. ´´A few years ago we were literally existing from gig to gig, when an odd looking gentleman approached us after a show and asked if we´d like to score and play on the soundtrack for a film he was producing. Imagine our surprise when a few days later, we arrived at a Hollywood Hills mansion that featured a home studio and was also the location for the film, a Triple X rated one at that.´´
´´After completing the soundtrack later that week, we were asked to select a fictitious name for the credits. As a lark, we selected ´´The ONE EYED SNAKES.´´ Now, we didn´t make this choice to offend women or anything like that, we were just having fun with the new, ugh, genre in which we were working. And guess what, the producers rejected the name because they thought it was too raunchy (Say What? It´s a porn flick!). I don´t recall what name was used for the music credits, but we decided then and there that the ´´One Eyed Snakes´´ moniker would be resurrected.´´ And with their eponymous debut CD on independent BIG WATER RECORDS, Zak and his mates did just that.
Long known on the local club circuit as a no nonsense hard rock band, the group has matured considerably since they were hailed as ´´the next big thing´´ by local radio and press in the mid nineties. Zak has maintained a philosophical outlook about such hyperbole. ´´It´s been said many times by many people, but there is some truth in the phrase ´´Nothing is an overnight sensation,´´ he noted appropriately. After a couple of line-up changes the Snakes have become a permanent musical family. JIMMY (KAT) KATSIKIDES, who co-produced the album with Daniels, brandishes one of the meanest lead guitars in all of rock. The rhythm section consists of DOUG LAVERY on drums and ORION LINDEMANN on bass. Together they anchor a sound that can overwhelm the casual listener or tenderly seduce them. The fifteen tracks on the CD reflect the poise and versatility of Daniels, who´s catalog boasts over two hundred and fifty songs. Songs like ´´FOURTEEN DOLLARS & 57 CENTS,´´ ´´TOMBSTONE HAT,´´ ´´BROWN EYED BEAUTY´´ and ´´SKY-BOY,´´ are evocative of the passion that has always been the band´s trademark on stage, but so too are ´´WORDS,´´ ´´CARTOON SAVIOR´´ and ´´FAST ONES.´´
From their hometown of L.A. to the Big Apple and back, you can bet that wherever ZAK DANIELS And The ONE EYED SNAKES appear, fans will be left with a smile on their face.
By DAVID BUDGE - ´´Red Rooster´´
UPDATE
Two songs from the first CD broke into the Top-40 for a total of 39 weeks on the charts. AC radio loved the album´s two ballads. ´´SKY-BOY´´ lasted 21 weeks on the charts, and ´´TOMBSTONE HAT´´ lasted 18 weeks. We´re now promoting our second release, SNAKELAND. Look for ´´SILICONE´´ to be the first single.
UPDATE 2
WINNER in the INDIE INTERNATIONAL SONG WRITING contest with our song SILICONE! We placed in the Rock genre. What does that mean? A few prizes and bragging rights, that´s about all. Still, it´s better than being hit with a brick!

HEADCASE RADIO added us to their regular rotation as well as their specialty shows.
FAME GAMES special feature artist on their front page and also the ´´Beat This´´ list feature. In addition we were included in the Fame Games blooper show.
Short Bio
Besides the passion and love we have for intelligent lyrics combined with high energy kick ass rock... it was the lure of sleazy motel rooms, fast groupies and a free continental breakfast that inspired us to become and continue being musicians (Okay, we like the music too.).

OTHER SNAKE NEWS!
We recently signed a few licensing deals which could turn out to be a very good thing. CRUCIAL MUSIC licensed the songs SILICONE and
FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS for placement in films, television, etc.
SONGS WITH VISION licensed our recording of Bob Dylan´s HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED (the only cover we do) from our first CD, the self titled debut ZAK DANIELS AND THE ONE EYED SNAKES.
PUMP MUSIC licensed 25 of the 26 songs from both CDs. Our self titled debut and SNAKELAND.
Also Look for a new TV show called BREAK ON THROUGH. It should be out sometime this fall. We were chosen through a Sonicbids.com opportunity to shoot the pilot for this show. The shoot was a hoot! Should be serious fun to watch.
The Euro tour was cancelled. Oh well, can´t all be good news!
Last but not least, I´m going to leave you with a few words which are overflowing with much wisdom. Are you ready? Scroll Down.
´´It´s not the chat that bothers me... it´s the chit.´´ Dean Martin
And this...
´´It´s not that the cream always rises to the top, but rather given enough time the shit always sinks to the bottom.´´
