Cedric Bixler-Zavala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cedric Bixler-Zavala (born November 4, 1974 in Redwood City, CA) is the lead singer and lyricist of The Mars Volta, and was previously the lead singer and lyricist of At The Drive-In. Raised in Trebic, Czech Republic, Cedric is the current frontman of the acclaimed rock group The Kroky Frantiska Janecka, as well as the former lead-singer of the seminal post-hardcore band At the Drive-In. Cedric's lyrics are often abstruse to the point of seeming nonsensical. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cedric_Bixler-Zavala   (426 words)

The Mars Volta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Members of the band At the Drive-In, Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, were in DeFacto with audio technician Jeremy Michael Ward since the mid 90s. Cedric Bixler stated in an interview: "The Volta is taken from a Federico Fellini book about his films, what he characterizes as a changing of scene, a new scene to him is called Volta. The backwards vocals (possibly Zavala's) at the end of "Eunuch Provocateur" are the lyrics from the song Itsy Bitsy Spider. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mars_Volta   (1681 words)

Complaint letter about Prince Cedric Bixler-Zavala Cedric is at least partially right in that his sole aspiration is apparently to engage in or goad others into engaging in illegal acts. Cedric would be better off if he just admitted to himself that I respect the English language and believe in the use of words as a means of communication. But Cedric is surrounded by rebarbative lamebrains who parrot the same nonsense, which is why he is like a magician who produces a dove in one hand, while the other hand is busy trying to marginalize me based on my gender, race, or religion. www.pakin.org /complaint?title=Prince&firstname=Cedric&middlename=&lastname=Bixler-Zavala&suffix=&gender=m&shorttype=f&pgraphs=10   (2290 words)

The Mars Volta/A Perfect Circle And then...finally...The Mars Volta took the stage...a band I had listened to ever since and before their amazing album De-Loused in the Comatorium was released, and had read interviews, looked at pictures, read reviews of shows, and was even a big fan of At The Drive-in Omar and Cedric Bixler Zavala’s former band. Cedric also included some handstands and crawling along the stage along w/ his dancing during RD. Another move he frequently did was throwing the mic stand away and then slinging it back to himself w/ the mic cord. Cedric already started the fancy footwork during the jam and then once Omar starting playing the notes of Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of), Cedric flipped the mic stand up and in the air and caught it, another one of his signature moves. www.expage.com /tmvreview   (709 words)

The Mars Volta Cedric was quite energetic for this song, as he is as always w/ his graceful movements and microphone antics. As they took the stage at the apex of the song, Cedric in a sport coat of sorts that he would only wear for the first song, the crowd went nuts as Cedric started saying things I couldn’t even understand because of the volume of the crowd. After Drunkship, Cedric spoke to the crowd for one of the few times during the night commenting on the actions of the crowd. www.expage.com /tmvaustin   (517 words)

The Mars Volta at the Metro Despite an amazing vocal performance by Bixler Zavala (where he demonstrated that his voice is indeed even more versatile than is displayed on record), the album& best song “Televators” sounded hollow without an acoustic guitar and the breathtaking sound of Zavala’s multi-tracked voice, as heard on the album. Vocalist Bixler Zavala belted out his trademark cryptic lyrics while convulsing violently and repeatedly launching the mic stand into the air. Bixler Zavala wails unintelligibly, alternating between English and Spanish. maroon.uchicago.edu /voices/articles/2003/08/02/the_mars_volta_at_th.php   (927 words)

Rock Circus Interview with Cedric Bixler Zavala from The Mars Volta RC: The ghosts Cedric: Oh well, Houdini's house is across the street and his wife's house is the house where we recorded it at, and where I did all the vocals.

The Mars Volta Mp3 Music Downloads, Videos, Lyrics, Photos, News. Mars Volta Rock Vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala didn't say a word to the crowd all night; the musicians eschewed an opening act and an encore (the better to keep the focus on their jammin', man!), and guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez seemed incapable of performing a solo that lasted less than six minutes. Their core—guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala—made up two-fifths of At The Drive-In.

Just back form gig at Hi-Fi.......... - The Comatorium Community Cedric and Omar were the only ones playing at on stage through Cicatriz I think and they way cedric mixes it up with his voice and dynamics of the microphone was just great to watch and listen. Through the first song sweat was just running off everyone esp Omar and cedric it was running all out of the bottom of Omars sleeves and Cedric at on stage rang his shirt out at the frount and it was like he had been swimming in his clothes.

Echo Online :: Features :: The Mars Volta has energetic performance This, however, is not entirely surprising considering Cedric Bixler Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's history together.The afroed used to be in the eccentric post-punk outfit At The Drive-In, who, near the climax of their mainstream breakthrough, dropped directly off of the face of the earth. Enigmatic lead singer Cedric Bixler Zavala flails and wails at St. Andrews with his band The Mars Volta. Zavala, the feistiest and most memorable frontman to emerge in recent memory, did not forget to dance uncontrollably and flail the microphone stand whenever he felt necessary. www.easternecho.com /cgi-bin/story.cgi?4006   (769 words)

Tickets for The Mars Volta [Austin, TX] at AUSTIN MUSIC HALL - MON APR 25 2005 * 8:00PM Sure, they excel at both, but Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala formed The Mars Volta in 2001 in order to dispose of labels and limitations of any kind, to move beyond genres strip-mined into obsolescence - be they dinosaur prog or 2-d punk.

Blogcritics.org: The Mars Volta at The Greek Theater, Hollywood - June 4 Mars Volta vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala is a good dancer, and there's plenty of Robert Plant in his vocal delivery. Cedric writes the songs, and I have it on good authority that they make sense if you know what they're about before you start listening. Cedric and Omar grew up about 3 hours from where I grew up and so I have been a follower from the begining. blogcritics.org /archives/2005/06/05/192711.php   (813 words)

Mars Volta steps out, System steps up - The Boston Globe WORCESTER -- Cedric Bixler Zavala, frontman for the Mars Volta, is a spectacular dancer. System of a Down With the Mars Volta At: Worcester DCU Center, Saturday WORCESTER -- Cedric Bixler Zavala, frontman for the Mars Volta, is a spectacular dancer. He stamped and twisted, backsliding on his Cuban heels, kicking away the base of the mike stand to make a sudden drop, the bulb of his afro quivering indignantly above the slim, black-clad body, and all of this without missing a note of his wailing, swirling vocal lines. www.boston.com /ae/music/articles/2005/08/29/mars_volta_steps_out_system_steps_up?mode=PF   (498 words)

THE MARS VOLTA De-loused in the Comatorium reviews and MP3 Cedric and Omar decided they were no longer fufilled by the music they produced in at the drive in and felt it was time to move on. Cedric and Omar take the spotlight on this album with their intense guitar sounds and ghostlike vocals which are truely amazing. Cedric has a distinctive upper-register voice, youthful but not the least bit naive, and an uncanny knack for delivering memorable lyric hooks within the experimental framework. www.progarchives.com /Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=5332   (13975 words)

Almost half of the music is sung in Spanish and even though most of the time, I don't understand what they are singing about, I like the whole experience of listening to the freak-out guitar solos, Cedric Bixler-Zavala's impossible high and incredible voice. www.towerrecords.com /product.aspx?pfid=3200800   (1385 words)

Even if I don't really know what he's on about, Cedric is a great singer with a powerful voice that performs well on the album's quieter as well as louder and angrier moments.

Chord Magazine Cedric [Bixler-Zavala] was singing, but it was difficult to tell the difference between him and Robert Plant," recalls John Frusciante, guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, of The Mars Volta's prolific frontman. It was at his band's rehearsal space where he would eventually come to meet Cedric Bixler-Zavala. As one of his priorities at the helm, he "pushed Cedric to write in Spanish" as a sign of their Chicano pride. www.chordmagazine.com /issue/febmar_05/cover.shtm   (2288 words)

EARLASH : Live Reviews Cedric Bixler-Zavala throws himself around the stage like an epileptic rag doll, screaming lyrics like "Bayonet trials rust propellers await" while Omar Rodriguez-Lopez seems to be indulging in a one-man tennis match. The fact is, when the Mars Volta play songs, they make At the Drive-In seem like spotty teenagers plucking away at "Smoke on the Water." Opener "Drunkship of Lanterns" bursts with an energy that is almost unbelievable. www.earlash.com /lr.php?livid=82   (451 words)

village voice > music > Grace Bastidas on Celia Cruz (1925-2003); Nick Catucci on Mars Volta; Richard Gehr on the Zen Livetronica Festival by Mars Volta—made up of the great '90s punk At the Drive-In's two most talented members, singer Cedric Bixler Zavala and songwriter-guitarist Omar A. Rodriguez-Lopez, both El Paso natives, with talented recruits on drums, keyboard, effects processor, and, of course, bass—say the soaring, tumultuous Zavala wailed nonsense with the same abandon that defined At the Drive-In, but instead of paranoia, he projected an almost spiritual expansiveness, pitched on high. In clawing out deep meaning concerning hobbits, spaceships, and munchies, prog bands from Rush to Euro-metal champs Opeth actually become all surface, detaching from a pop-cult reality that dictates three-minute songs and faith in something other than teen fantasy novels. www.villagevoice.com /music/0331,sotc,45883,22.html   (878 words)

Driving Record At the Drive-In was also noted by the music press for the afros of Cedric Bixler Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. All five former members continued to make music, Cedric and Omar with The Mars Volta, and Jim, Paul and Tony in Sparta. According to sources, At the Drive-In struggled to recreate their intense live experience in the studio; although, they certainly tried to with their second full-length, In/Casino/Out (Fearless Records), which was a live studio album). www.computerwonders.com /pages4/26/driving-record.html   (1241 words)

The Mars Volta's 'Frances the Mute' reviewed on official website of Laura Hird Cedric Bixler Zavala spits castrato non-sequiturs over Omar A Rodriguez-Lopez’s serpentine licks, with a 70s soul string arrangement thrown in for good measure. The Mars Volta are as plugged into the dark heart of gothic Mexican duende and bordertown punk as they are King Crimson and ‘Physical Graffiti.’ Cedric’s lyrics are not meditations on hobgoblins and fairies so much as apparitional bad trips through vistas of tombstone teeth, snake eyes, black lungs, crawling bugs and crucifixes. The Storm Thorgerson artwork, the titles, the way the tracks are broken up into movements, plus the overarching theme (‘Frances ’ is based on a notebook found by deceased MV FX man Jeremy Ward, detailing the anonymous diarist’s search for his birth parents) — these are merely cosmetic. www.laurahird.com /newreview/francesthemute.html   (916 words)

inertiatic When [Cedric Bixler] and [Omar Rodriguez] left At the Drive-In, there was never a question whether or not they'd keep playing music together. Their only break from touring was spent putting the finishing touches to their book, written by Cedric and Jeremy, that explained what De-Loused in the Comatorium was based upon. However, they were back on tour by the next week with their old friend Paul Hinojos from At the Drive-In filling in for Jeremy. www.inertiatic.com /biography.html   (557 words)

Decapolis With the release of Sparta& album, Wiretap Scars, fans of ATDI were given slightly more accessible music without the lead vocals of Cedric Bixler Zavala and without the guitar work of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. The chorus simply repeats the phrase, “now I’m lost.” With Bixler Zavala’s unexplainably high range mixed with the combination of driving guitar and background effects, this song creates an amazing opening and a glimpse of what is to come. With all the success of At the Drive In, many fans were left wondering why the band split up just as it was receiving mainstream success. www.decapolis.com /cgi-bin/music/viewnews.cgi?newsid1062075136,18669,   (525 words)

USATODAY.com - The Mars Volta: Like nothing you've heard Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala, alumni of the innovative El Paso punk band At the Drive-In, have crafted a 77-minute prog-metal netherworld of jagged rhythms, guitar tantrums and ambient jams. The concession to convention is an abridged version of power ballad The Widow, propelled by Bixler's anguished tenor, that's making headway at rock radio. Themes, inspired by surrealist painters, an anonymous diary found in a car and the fatal overdose of a bandmate, are expressed in vivid but disconnected lyrics that evoke feverish dreams. www.usatoday.com /life/music/reviews/2005-03-07-listen-up_x.htm   (513 words)
