"The Gruntled — as in the
opposite of disgruntled?"
MEMBERS:
The Kaptain Mark Zolezzi (Vox, Guitars)
Steve Johnson (Drums)
Mike Johnson (Bass)
Three-fifths of
the deactivated warped-rock outfit Baby Robots
constitute this new band of adventurous musicmakers. (Head Robot Bobby
Baker moved to Austin, Texas.) Performing
the songs of Mark Zolezzi (a.k.a. The Kaptain) who also plays drums
for Mr. Entertainment and the Latter Day Pookiesmackers, The Gruntled
features drummer Steve Johnson of Wolfboy and the Fantods and bassist Cohen
of Whirlaway. Zolezzi compares the music of The Gruntled — as in the
opposite of disgruntled — to that of Elliot Smith, Brother JT and Smog
but with an “edgier, more-rocking sound.” Look for the group at venues
such as Tobacco Road and Churchill’s, both in Miami.

Founded and fronted by Mark Zolezzi on guitar and vocals, the four-piece outfit - Mike Johnson on Bass, Steve Johnson on drums, and Jayson Teicher on guitar - recently released its self-titled debut record on the Ant Lunch label, an underground collective of bands that features Postface, the Ex-Cretins, and South-by-Southwest alums Baby Robots and Mr. Entertainment. Zolezzi has also been releasing albums under the Kaptain moniker since 1998, appearing on Ant Lunch Musick compilation "What's for Drugs?" along with Eric Gaffney from Sebadoh, Brother JT, Three Day Stubble, and Austin-based space rockers ST 37. The Gruntled has headlined dozens of venues aross Florida, such as, Churchill's Hideaway, The Poorhouse, Repectable Street, Club M, and CityLink magazine's annual Music Fest.
