Sounds Like

AristeiA is so quiet sometimes they forget to breathe.
They are so damn noisey, an earthquake couldn't get their attention.
They are so hip they can make you believe they are 'high' on a glass of water.

The power to exalt, or to destroy, wanting only the former, but unafraid to invoke the latter if the time comes.

   About AristeiA
"Portland’s best post-instrumental rockers...succeeds not because of its resemblance to similar instrumental acts.. but instead in how it differentiates"-Michael Mannheimer, Willamette Weekly

"I was surprised at the power behind the group before me, adding to it a strong stage presence and friendly after the show demeanor"-Fensepost.com

Aristeia formed in November 2005 and has since grown into one of the most exciting rock bands in the Portland music scene. Since their inception they have released four records to stellar reviews by numerous online and print publications, completed three full west coast tours, creating an ever-increasing fan base.

Having recently shared the stage with indie heavyweights like Tokyo Police Club, Unwed Sailor, White Rabbits, Bedhead, From Monument To Masses, Sea and Cake, Asobi Seksu, Git Some, Junuis, and being the only band to play CD Baby.com’s 10 year anniversary party, Aristeia is making its presence felt.

The last few months have seen the boys complete two west coast tours in 6 months including several SXSW showcases, garnering them both local and national attention. This winter they hit Portlands legendary Jackpot studios to team up with producer Brandon Eggelston to work on a upcoming full length.

"The finest moments for Aristeia are those when the band loses itself in an expansive meandering periods of instrumental noise. An epic rise and fall of notes that makes Explosions in the Sky look like a bunch of Texas bedwetters. It's a safe assumption these boys can throw down" Portland Mercury   !!!

Jun 24 2009 5:41 PM

I am now recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment) for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him (Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection, and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of purchase!!!
