Alan Voelkel (the most effected by the break-up) changed his name to Javier, swapped drums for bass and now speaks in an affected English accent. The band members continue to create original must-listen music. A second album was well on the way when the band broke up under unexplained circumstances. Fans across the midwest and as far away as Japan lapped up their debut album Tokyo Express. Ground Zero blended the Voelkel brothers umbilical-synch rhythm section with guitar virtuoso Gregg Barker’s mind boggling leads and Pete “wild-man” Mrakovich’s vocals and showmanship.
As one rock journo put it - “they deliver the art of the live gig”. They served up loud, grab-you-by-the-short-and-curlies performance rock. Ground Zero exploded onto the Chicago rock circuit in early 1978.
