Baron Zen - Best Post Punk/Hip Hop Band Ever?


There were two members in Baron Zen- Sweet Steve and the now famous-in-underground/indie-circles Peanut Butter Wolf. They played together from '88-92, and have recently had their only record, titled "At The Mall", re-released on Stones Throw Records in 2006, and again on September 18 this year with remixes from some of the Stones Throw roster and a few others. I am always delighted to find bands or artists this unique, as it can be rare. This music is defintely worth giving a try, even if it doesn't hit you right away. In addition to this, I stumbled upon some promotional neon-colored Baron Zen rip-offs in classic Ray Ban style, which of course I took three pairs of, near the pile of brochures and pamphlets near the door of Turntable Lab on Fairfax(Los Angeles). This defintely helped my opinion of the band. Good marketing PBW.
