Since the Radiators broke up two years ago, Ed Volker, aka Zeke Fishhead, has been on a songwriting and recording tear.
His latest collection hit livedownloads.com recently and it’s a treasure trove of new material and familiar songs from the deep repertoire of the band. To the Ice Nine Station is a collection of thirteen tunes, all from the pen of Volker, which were recorded between August 22, 2012 and March 24, 2013. Like his previous post-Radiators releases, this album is homegrown. The multi-instrumentalist plays all of the parts.
Fishheads with long memories or deep collections of live recordings will recognize a few of the songs, particularly “Have A Ball,” which is usually annotated on recordings as “Ball.”
The album is dedicated to Karl Bremer, a longtime Fishhead and huge supporter of the Radiators and Volker’s solo efforts from his home in Minneapolis. Bremer passed away recently.
