Loopzilla

Ron Allen [a visual sound] interview:

"Rudy Ramos was this amazing musician, he could play every instrument. He could play bass, he could play guitar, he could play everything. He would lay down a drum track, play instruments and I’d come in and do vocals to it. Just me and him in his apartment making 4-track music. And all the people were like tripping, they thought it was baaad! Then a couple of stuff we did with bands, but it would always come after we did the 4-track stuff. We’d call ourselves Black Dress Theory, Sir Lady Java or Loopzilla cause we were making loops. I didn’t know it would ever been known, we weren’t even a garage band, we were a ‘inside somebody’s bedroom band’. I would record the lyrics in a closet, shut the door and just bang out the lyrics.
Most of it was me and Rudy. It’s funny, we split out cause he hated rap and I couldn’t help it, I loved it. That’s when I made the music switch from being involved in rock to hip hop."
