In the summer of 2005, ex-Root Boy Slim sidemen Dan Hovey and John Zidar, joined with virtuoso free-lance bassist Scott Giambusso to create a group dedicated to shredding the great hits and jams by groups such as Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. After 3 years of exploration of the hits and deep cuts by these artists as well as Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, & Blind Faith, the new band GHz (pronounced Gigahertz) decided to bring this music to the 21st Century at last.
