George Martindell was in a rock band called NASTY CANASTA playing clubs in South Jersey. The band played all original songs and featured Frank Sonsini on lead guitar. After a few years, the band started to fizzle so they decided to break up. Bad things were said leaving friendships in the dust and they did not speak to each other for more than a year. I thought the time had come for the two to reconcile, George agreed and we came up with a plan. We took an old cassette of their original rock songs and mixed in some COSMIC TESTICLES and created an album called QUADZILLA featuring a song called GHOSTS ON CHROME. We burned a few discs and dropped one in Frank's mailbox. He was so surprised and delighted he wanted to join us. |
SCIENCE FRICTION was a morphed version of COSMIC TESTICLES with the addition of Frank Sonsini on guitar synthesizer. Sad to say... this band only had eight sessions together spread out over a year for an hour or two on a Saturday morning or early afternoon. Frank had other obligations and free time was at a premium. In the meantime, George and Quad continued recording our music. From those eight sessions SCIENCE FRICTION recorded one album called FREUDIAN SLIPS and a CD-R of sound track music called EVIL AND MID-EVIL SELECTIONSin which several songs were featured on a TNT television documentary called FACES OF EVIL that dealt with the history of evil from Hitler to Manson. |
