ZOIDBERG have been in existence as their current line-up for a year and have recently had a successful support slot with Indie favourites The Pigeon Detectives. This five piece Indie Rock band are influenced by the likes of The Stone Roses, Doves and Oasis.
ZOIDBERG are currently recording their EP ‘The Blue Room' due for release in Jan 2010 and are signed with Gatehouse Records.
The EP demonstrates the bands varied musical influences as it features Dance with ‘Peak Time Monster Party’ to Rock/Pop with ‘Just Confused’. In only a year in existence ZOIDBERG has been taking venues in the South West by storm with their modern indie/rock sounds.
Reviews
"Zoidberg, a five-piece rock band, wowed the cowd with their music and stage performance, a great band and one to watch!" - Monmouth Festival 2009
"Great lyrics and great stage presence. They certainly set the scene and readied the crowd for the Pigeon Detectives who were the final act that night at Monmouth Music Festival 2009" - Gigapics.co.uk
"Modern generic indie sounds with a touch of baggy. Oasis meets The Kaiser Chiefs via some groovy rock guitar licks" - BugBear Bookings, London
"they sound like prime time Oasis covering Led Zepplin" - James, 2K Trees Festival 2009 organiser
“The performance was energetic, passionate and quite literally, balls out rock, guaranteed to get any audience kick started"..."the band work’s the crowd like seasoned professionals" with "infectious energy” - JAR Music company 2008
“Zoidberg are now darting from stage to stage exciting local audiences. Excitement it seems is in plentiful supply for this band as fans and A+R men enthuse over the group. "Standing out from their peers by being as much a thinking person's band as all out rock 'n' roll". Zoidbergs lyrics are a much likeable feature” - Wiltshire and Gloucester Standard
"Self proclaimed as "the mighty", Zoidberg did not disappoint. Their music treated you like a friend. Refreshingly, they were a band of many front men, with each member having a distinctive role in the stagecraft itself and not just the hearty feel good sound that they tempted you with"
- Andrea Lockwood Review available at www.soundsgoodstudios.co.uk/flash.swf

Hi Guys, Muchos gracias for the generous words and deep apologies for missing your set @ The 2 Pigs on Saturday. We make a point of watching the other bands on the bill but we'd booked a meal in a Cheltenham restaurant immediately after playing, (We we're starving, never having played that early in the evening before!), and had to dash off to grab it. By the time we'd finished, so had you! We try to listen to all new friends' work though and like your stuff, especially "The Things I've Been" (great song), and "The Day the Cookie Crumbled". Welcome to the OST "Aficionados" btw. Thanks a million for the friendship and interest in our music. Peace and good wishes. OST. PS. Have also sent you a message.
awesome to play with them!!! Would love to go but we are playing at our local festival Woodystock same day so wont be able to make it. we recorded last week but had a gig the night before and wasnt really up for it, we were still pissed from the gig and Dalton even forgot his guitar!! Bad days!!
Yeh its gonna be a tough one on Saturday but we will give it a shot so hope u lads can see ur way to voting for us and yeh we will def get hold of chip and see if we can play.
