Zilon and I are very pleased to release the 'Vava Vol & Zilon Lazer (1983-1987) Vol. 2, Demos, Jams and More Live Shows' 22-track album, the second compilation follow-up to our Legacy Album of February 28, 2022.

Vol. 2 shines the light on original and remixed unreleased demos, jams and more live shows of our maniacal experimental musical adventures during the glorious 'anything goes' 1980s Montreal underground counterculture music scene. This is our unique 80s experimental electro noise sound! It has been carefully preserved on our cassette tape archives for compilations of this nature which we proudly present here for your enjoyment and listening pleasure!
