History

Zolty Cracker toured Canada, the United States and Europe from 1989 to 1997, playing what has been described by The Province as an "eccentric punk-folk hybrid",[1] although their mix of styles includes punk, rock, thrash, funk, world beat, acoustic folk and traditional waltz.[2]

Their 1995 album Go Please Stay was financed on their own. The music video "Driver" was played in rotation on MuchMusic.[3] The band went on a tour of Europe.[4]

Others who adding their musical prowess to the band were Michael Louw, Michael Venart, Jatinder Sandhu, Lara Kowalsky, Clint Rice, Jimmy Goodrich, Pierre Lumoncel, Marcel Hildebrand and Eric Napier.
