Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction Announce UK Tour Dates & Tickets

British hard rockers Zodiac Mindwarp , the brainchild of Mark Manning, a graphic artist and editor of London's Flexipop magazine, have announced they are to embark on a UK tour in March 2011.
Deciding to experience the debauchery of life as a decadent rock star, Mark Manning assumed the alter ego, Zodiac Mindwarp, and formed the Love Reaction in the mid 1980s together with guitarist Cobalt Stargazer (real name Geoff Bird).
The band, at various times, has also featured Kid Chaos (real name Stephen Harris), Slam Thunderhide (real name Stephen Landrum), Evil Bastard (real name Robert Munro) Trash D Garbage (real name Paul Bailey), Flash Bastard (real name Jan Cyrka), Suzy X, Tex Diablo (real name Christopher Renshaw), and Robbie Vom (real name Rob Morris).
Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction play a sleazy style of commercial hard rock featuring big riffs and choruses, as was the trend in the band’s heyday of the mid-to-late 80s and early 90s. Occasionally referred to as "biker rock", the band's style of hard rock is reflected in their outlandish attire, which tends to parody the post-apocalyptic Mad Max biker look. However, they have adopted a more common "street look" recently, circa their comeback, around 1999.
Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction released their latest album 'We Are Volsung' early this autumn. Inspired by northern mythology, the new album features 10 brand-new unadulterated songs, including a track with the German title 'Stark Von Oben'.
'We Are Volsung' track listing:
01. We Ride
02. Stark Von Oben
03. Kill Me a Mockinbird
04. Tree Rider
05. We Are Volsung
06. Don't Touch My Guitar
07. Die Pretty
08. Lucille
09. White Trash
10. Key to Your Heart
