      Hi Frank,

      You certainly can get some of the old Zarsoff albums. Just go to our online store here.

  4. ken on September 15, 2011 at 7:44 pm

    I saw the Zarsoffs at Blacktown soccer club in the early days. Have a copyof Rude awakening with Izzys signature on the cover as a momento. Must be worth thousands by now!!

  5. Keith smith on September 23, 2011 at 6:53 pm

  10. Drikko on October 10, 2017 at 4:20 pm

  12. Scott on July 31, 2019 at 5:33 pm

    Saw these guys at the Belair Hotel in Newcastle in the early 80’s. What a night. Mate of mine nearly got hit by a train. The perfect end to an Evening with the brothers Zarsoff.

    My name is Ian Peel. I have live desk tapes that ARCA wishes to release to raise funds for road crew in crisis. Can someone contact me pls…0415667221

  14. Dave Hodgson on August 18, 2020 at 7:36 pm

    I have had your Rude Awakening album since it came out but not your other 2 albums, is there somewhere I can buy those (by the way I went to Birrong Boys High with Dave Wray, don’t know if he’d remember me though….)

  15. Peter Cross on August 21, 2020 at 7:17 pm

    I can add 3 gigs to the list. I was doing FOH mixing for a band called Southerly Buster and when they won’t working they would hire out their PA. Did a few hires with The Fabulous Zarsoff Brothers. Great band and great blokes offstage. We would pick Peter up at his house in Ramsgate and he would help us lug in and out. The dates are 4/7/86 @ Seven Hills Inn ( Southery Buster as support). 26/2/88 @ Parramatta Leagues. 27/4/88 @ Sweethearts Cabramatta. I’m sure there were more but that’s all the records I have. One of my favourite bands to work with, always entertaining and professional.

  16. John on October 3, 2020 at 2:14 am

    I remember seeing you at Jaggers (under the West Ryde hotel in the 80s). Did you also perform at Bombay Rock (Surfers)?

  17. PHIL GAVITTY on June 17, 2021 at 10:26 am

    Juvenile rudeness rules supreme!!!

  18. Deb Thew on November 19, 2021 at 7:32 am

    Saw you guys at Bexley North Hotel 82/83, I was going through a pretty messy divorce, and you guys gave me the biggest laugh of my life, have never forgotten how funny and (rude) you were. Loved you ever since 😘

  19. Tony on January 30, 2022 at 7:29 am

    I saw The fabulous Zarsoff Brothers at SWEETHEARTS Cabramatta NSW, i’d never heard of the band before so didnt know what to expect, but as soon as they started they drew the whole crowd in. their mixture of humor and music was so entertaining, that i have never forgotten seeing them, dont know why this band wasnt hugely successful.
