I know that a simple web search could have solved this problem, but then it never occurred to me to do it.
I think i mentioned this when I was posting about my stay in Japan. But ever since I got napster, long ago... and it will be missed, I have known about this band called the ZooBombs (NO-FI "MAGAZINE" interview with ZOOBOMBS). I found two songs of theirs by accident: Mo' Funky and Soul Bomb. They were great. When I told Salmon about them, she already knew and all that. Then came 9/11 and the Zoobombs cancelled their tour. Or something like that.
I lost my chance. But when i got to Japan, it was time to go ZooBombs shopping. No luck. No band named ZooBombs. Very helpful people in the record stores, but no ZooBombs. There was a very small Zed section though. Like 3 CDs. And one of them was called "Super Funcy of Zbons". So I got it on a whim. And viola! It was ZooBombs! I just was spelling it wrong....
Fast forward to today. Yuka and I took the streetcar along Queen to Roncesville, and walked up Roncesville (someone spell this right) to Howard Park, then all the way back down Dundas to home. That's about a 2-2.5 hour walk, with lots of stops.
Going up Roncesville, I found a store called "Boom, she said." Of course other people know it by the non-dyslexic name of "She said Boom." It is the twin of the "Boom, she said" near Salmon's house.
And inside, in the Zed section, they had a CD called "Let it Bomb" by the ZooBombs!
Two countries. Two names. Both in English. One band.
Now I know... and they rock.
