Nazz

Garage rock
Garage rock

Nazz is a Garage rock act. Their sound grew out of The Yardbirds, The Who, Cream, Laura Nyro and The Doors. Those roots explain a lot about how Nazz arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Yardbirds, Jefferson Airplane, The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, The Amboy Dukes and The Troggs, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Cheap Trick, Paris, Alice Cooper, The Bangles and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 24 connections around Nazz, reaching back through The Yardbirds and forward to Cheap Trick.
