NOW: THE NEW ALBUM "LIGHTS AND WIRES" IS BEING RELEASED IN FRANCE 25. OCTOBER 2007 AND IN NORWAY 3. MARCH 2008. MORE TO FOLLOW ON THIS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------EARLIER: Jake Ziah's album “These Days Do You No Justice” has been described as “album of the year!”, “one of the great ones”, “one razor sharp debut” and “fantastic!”. The album has got five and six, out of six possible, in most of the Norwegian press. Words of praise everywhere their name is mentioned. They have scored music featured on renowned film festivals in Tromso, Berlin, and London. The album was released in Norway in the spring of 2005 and a release is also in the making in Taiwan, and by now their music will be available in France and the US. BIO: Arnar Vågen: Born and bred in darkest Africa, the musical search leading to "...Jake Ziah I pressume..." was second nature to Arnar Vågen. Singer/Songwriter and contributor of roughly 50% of JZs songwriting and lead vocal duties. Arnar writes, sings and plays the guitar in Jake Ziah. Syvert Holbek Feed: The second half of JZs songwriting backbone is Syvert Feed who returned from his exile in Lebanon only to find his songwriting and singing thriving on the experience (highly evident in songs like "Burn" from "These Days...") He also learned arabic. Syvert writes, sings and plays guitar in Jake Ziah. Kristian Husby: Ever the virtuoso. Be it playing on goats feet, calf-skins, or regular instruments. Kristian is our very own Mr.Bones and a great musician. Kristian plays drums in Jake Ziah. The fourth and final part of Jake Ziah is Daniel Henriksen: Having spent a year in South America JZ figured that Daniel must have picked up a trick or two from Col.Noriega and the likes. He was therefore hired as JZs manager. However being the Song & Dance Man that he is, Daniel snuck in the back door and became a fulltime member of JZ pretty quickly. Daniel sings backing vocals, plays harmonium organ and makes very good use of different noiceproducing items. Jake Ziah released their pitch black EP in the greener part of spring 2003. 2004 was spent writing and recording "These Days Do You No Justice" Leading up to the release and touring of the album in 2005.
