Bobzilla’s career really started in 1994 in the Village: he brought his alterno-britpop music to the Sky trashroom for five years, then turned to spinning electro-pop in the legendary Bamboo bar of the Unity I and II.

Over the years, Bobzilla has explored many styles of music, always with only one idea in mind: Shake that ass, baby!

The Play is for mature audiences with a high tolerance for being offended. Contains adult themes. The only thing 'catchy' are the 'tunes', with songs like: 'Friendly Neighborhood Bathhouse' 'Bathhouse ABCs' 'The Steam Room' 'In The Shower' 'The Workout' and 'Christmas At The Baths', among others. Oh, did we mention that there are also plenty of scantily clad men!
