About the Zarsoff Brothers
Until we’ve finished updating this site, folks, please visit the Zarsoff Bros MySpace site (via ‘links’)
“What we are about,” says Izzy, “is being the catalyst for a good time, with an irreverent approach to the whole idea of rock & roll as an industry. To the punters, we are just a bunch of looneys who happen to be able to play music, and who would be just as comfortable beside them at the bar. We have no intention of deconstructing that image, not even for [name removed because of possibility of legal action].”
Izzy admits the band’s onstage skullduggery may be part of the problem with bookers such as [name removed because of possibility of legal action] , though “They need to see that we’ve grown up a bit. Sure, we’ll never be Top 30 pinups, and we’ll always be mainly an adults-only product – but we still pull heads at rock venues, and the days of the infamous ‘Dance of the Flaming Arsehole” are in the past.”

No comment . At all. Would like to make one but Cant think of one.
The Zarsoff Brothers were the most entertaining and fun bands doing the pub circuit in the early eighties. They were great crowd pullers of the early Eighties. I watched them all around the west in pubs like the Grey Gums Hotel in Penrith and the Hawkesbury Sport Club Windsor.
Would love to go and see them again at a live venue. I will take at least Twenty.
Thanks Izzzy and the boys

I saw you guys at Penrith (the boys are back in town) & was wondering where John Whitmore has gone , as I believe he was your main songwriter & I would like to hear more of his work.
Hey Milan – John & I haven’t crossed paths since the ‘Mixed Business’ album. Obviously I can’t give out personal details, but the last I knew he was still in the Blue Mountains. I still send occasional royalty payments to him from album sales, and they don’t come back, so I can only assume they are getting to him. Though John and I may not work together again, I have to say he is one of my favourite song writers and a mighty fine singer to boot. His contributions to the ‘Mixed Business’ album were vital, and his non-Zarsoffian stuff is impressive and covers many genres. I hope you get to make contact.
