The ZaZaZa's have been together for 2 years. Kenny MacLean started writing songs in his parents' spare bedroom after growing increasingly discontented with being a full time cook. Though he was already receiving really positive feedback from his parents and their friends, MacLean decided it was time to showcase his songs beyond the family living room. He started going to open mics, where he played for crowds of five people who didn't give a shit about him. It was during this time that he connected with fellow former Hinton personality Jed Gauthier. He convinced Gauthier to play guitar and some cello, the latter of which was used purely to pick up chicks - a ploy that cemented Jed's place as the band's resident sex symbol. Though it seemed odd that prog-rock god and rabid Rush fan Gauthier would join forces with MacLean, a Thanksgiving open mic in Hinton convinced the two that they had stumbled on something special. Whatever it was it worked. And so the two began work on some songs, though they were already pretty much rock stars in their own minds long ago. For a while they lived the lifestyle more then they actually played music.
Time line one month ahead: The three were out at a show when they ran into their preferred ginger, also hailing from Hinton, Ms. Lorette Mercier. Everybody wondered and still does why this beautiful girl sings with these three idiots. Some things can never be solved.
After much dismay and chaos, the four of them finally found a drummer: Lorette's lover and Blame-It's guitar player, Crispy Blame-It. Crispy in turn brought in former Pind bassist, Matt Chipchar, who incidentally is in direct competition with MacLean for who has more feminine-like qualities. Through a series of ads, they were finally connected with the lovely Amity Mitchell, who joined the band for their first EP, playing flute and sax.
The band released their first album, The James EP, at their epic one-year anniversary show, Murderversary. The band is currently working on new material. One tear a time.
Over the past year, Chad, and Matt have left the band. Ezra Gomien has replaced Matt on Bass, and Chad is never to be replaced.
