Shane Bullis Shane is an all around music making machine....whether he is playing guitar, bass, drums, harmonica, turntables, programming electronic music, singing, rapping, or writing. He plays bass (and vocals) for zegg and although he is capable of getting crazy with chops, he is more interested in serving the song and grooving....He calls this "hand EAR coordination." His songwriting is eclectic and often comical, political, and always very lyrical.

Chris Johnson - Little is known about this man, other than the fact he always seems to be the first one to know when it has begun to rain. He has been described by some as a mad scientist behind the keyboard, and that description's apt. Mixing sprawling melodies with dissonance, his sound strains against the leash and pulls you somewhere you didnt expect. His playing can fill up empty spaces like concrete, or raise the hairs in your ears with tiny toodling tickling tactics (what?). How do you pick Chris out of a crowd? Why, hell be the one with a cockatoo on his shoulder, of course.

Mike Gloss Mike is the acoustic and eletric guitarist for Zegg and another one of the band's song writers. No one really knows where he came from, as one day he just showed up to a Zegg practice, bobbing his head to the music and drinking coffee out of an old spaghetti jar. Fortunately for him, they let him join the band. His songs are often chord-laden (bringing groans from the rest of the band as they're learning them), usually quirky, sometimes complex. Wen he's asked, he'll probably tell you his writing and playing style is simply bad jazz.

John Metcalf Known throughout the western hemisphere as Bongo John (hes known throughout the East as Rhythm de Infidel), he is the backbone and backbeat to Zegg. A highly skilled drummer and percussionist, he conjures up rhythms and syncopated synergy like a sorcerer weaving a spell. In fact, youll often hear him yelling strange incantations during a performance. He has played music for the majority of his life and has enveloped many different styles into his playing. A recent accomplishment for John was getting a write-up in the On the Move column of the March 2005 issue of Modern Drummer. ..

InfluencesYes, Jamiroquai, The Police, Dave Matthews Band, The Allman Brothers Band, Miles Davis, Phish, The Beatles, Peter Gabriel, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Talking Heads, and too many more to mention.

ZEGG
Quantcast

Roll out the rock. Don’t forget that jazz. Add a touch of bluegrass, shake in some R&B and lay down some funk – hell, throw in the kitchen sink. That comes close to summing up Zegg, the Raleigh-based quartet described as a as “natural progression in the time line of groove and jam, applying a tasteful pop gloss to an eclectic, dexterous sound."

Update on new "Cat on the Brink" video.  I'm hitting the upload button to my channel on youtube (click nohuiam's youtube link starting tonight around 9pm).  Probably gonna be a six hour upload barring technical difficulties.  I'm leaving until tomorrow after I hit the button so if you don't see it tonight by 10-11pm then it probably won't be up because the upload failed.  In that case I'll do it again tomorrow.  Enjoy!  Peace, Fish
