The current live performance lineup for the ZUTE band is: me, Mike Zute (Vocals/ Bass Guitar), and whoever is able to fill in on guitar and drums. Most of my main fill in players are in my top friends list here. I always list each show's musician lineup in the gig info section. Same story for ZUTE Acoustic shows, except I'd mostly be playing acoustic rhythm guitar. For all the recorded cover & original song recordings posted in this profile, I am singing lead and playing bass. Some I'm playing other instruments, and others can be current or past musicians.

Influences
I'll try to list the bands that were most influential in making me want to perform & write music: 60's & 70's Guitar Rock: i.e. Black Sabbath, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Zombies, Jethro Tull, Rush, Kiss;; Classic Folk / Country: Johnny Cash, John Denver, Jim Croce;; Old School Punk: Bad Religion, The Descendents, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Suicidal Tendencies;; 80's Metal: Iron Maiden, Metallica, Whitesnake, Motley Crue;; 80's Alternative: Devo, Talking Heads, Smithereens;; 90's Alternative: Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, N.I.N., Rage/Machine, Sublime, Presidents of USA;; 90’s Pop Punk: Green Day, Dramarama, Blink 182, The Offspring, Weezer;; 90’s Metal: Korn, Clutch, Helmet, Godsmack, System of a Down;; etc. I have a million other influences, but this gives you an idea. There is no way that one of my tunes can reflect all of these bands.
Sometimes the Non-conformist, defiant attitude and lyrics of some of these artists is a bigger influence than their music, and visa-versa. (Some have hit me more with the music than the lyrics/ attitude.)

-I'm currently re-organizing the layout of my page here, so that it focuses on the ZUTE Party Rock Cover Band, instead of the Mike Zute Original Project. So, bear w/ the changes! Any of the classic pics that I've had on this front page (since 2005) will be saved into a folder in the pics section here at myspace.
