THALIA ZEDEK has sung with such widely respected underground alternative bands as COME, LIVE SKULL and UZI. With CHRIS BROKAW, she fronted the influential COME, who have featured heavily in music mags in the last five years. 'Trust Not Those In Whom Without Some Touch Of Madness...' was recorded by HOWARD BILERMAN at Hotel 2 Tango in Montreal using completely analogue techniques without any use of computers, recorded and mixed in eleven days. Her songs, like the blues, speak not about the struggle to survive, but to the struggle of surviving. This is not a surprise coming from the enduring Zedek, who is one of the most compelling and strong performers wielding a guitar today.

"The title of the record was actually a fortune that I once got when I was living in NYC in the late eighties. It was really a rough period in my life. I was sitting in some crappy Chinese restaurant, we had eaten and were given the fortune cookies with the bill. I opened my cookie and my fortune had actually been cut in half horizontally, and then Scotch-taped back together with the bottom half… of another fortune. Poet at the fortune cookie factory? I kept it for years."

She still sounds like one scary woman.
She still sounds like Patti Smith's evil sister.
She still rambles nonsensical words.
Music that exists to allow you to fire your therapist.
Music that makes you too on edge to bother killing yourself
(even if you actually want to).
Music to clear the bar at the end of a long slow night.

Cause your words got no power"
