Everything from the big band jazz of Al Bowlly and the blues of Bessie Smith through to the rock ‘n’ roll of the 50’s, the punk and new wave bands of the late 70’s through to the electronics of Depeche Mode and the Prodigy through to the metal of Danzig and Rammstein.
We particularly like music that is not afraid to cross genres or mix guitars with keyboards like Faith No More.
We are often compared to Blondie or early Garbage.
Sounds Like
Switchblade Symphony, shredded through Garbage’s mid-period and drip-fed with some Lydia Lunch and a pinch of Reznor.
Record Label
We are currently looking for a label to work with.
~ Zeitgeist Zero have been described as one of the most exciting and fastest growing bands in the alternative music scene. Influences include everything from the big band jazz of Al Bowlly and the blues of Bessie Smith through to the rock ‘n’ roll of the 50’s, punk and new wave bands of the late 70’s through to the electronics of Depeche Mode and the Prodigy through to the metal of Danzig and Rammstein. Often compared to Blondie or early Garbage, Zeitgeist Zero play edgy, progressive music with a rock ‘n’ roll attitude. Lyrically personal experiences are drawn upon to write original, emotional songs whilst maintaining a balance of catchy hooks and sing-a-long melodies.
Teresa Dead (Vocals) and Corin Zero (Guitars, Synths, Programming) formed Zeitgeist Zero in early 2003. They were later joined by Kerry Von Null (Keyboards, Drums, Backing Vocals) and quickly gained a reputation for their exciting and energetic live shows. Over the next two years they played numerous shows throughout the UK and appeared on both ‘Sick Twisted Individual - Volume 1’ and ‘Dark Salvation - Volume 1’ compilations.
2005 saw the band release their self produced debut album to international critical acclaim, leading to appearances along with cover disc tracks in several international magazines including; Sonic Seducer, Zillo, Kaleidoscope, Unscene, Devolution, Insomnia and TWF. The same year, the band were also interviewed live on Crush FM and interviewed by the renowned journalist/music author Mick Mercer as well as appearing at the ground breaking Beyond The Veil III festival in their hometown of Leeds, UK.
In 2006 Zeitgeist Zero kept up the pace with several more radio interviews including BBC Radio 6 and Dark Assimilation, followed by a string of festival appearances including the huge Wave Gotik Treffen (150 bands , 25,000 people) in Leipzig, Carnival of Souls in Derby and Woolstock in Leeds. Continuing into 2007 with appearances at Dark City Festival in Edinburgh & Gotham Festival at the Islington Academy, London, the band have maintained an outstanding reputation for winning audiences over with their energy and passion. In 2007 the band added live video projection to their stage show to create an intense, audio-visual experience leaving audiences transfixed. In 2008 the band recorded their second album “Dead To The World” enlisting the skills of John Fryer (HIM, NIN) to mix and John Dent (Goldfrapp) for mastering. With an increased confidence and a superior recording quality and technique the second album revels in the glamour of the 40’s and 50’s with eye-catching photography and album design. The band are currently expanding their live line up in preparation for the release of their new album. ~
The music here ain't half bad either, I'm just listening. :) Very powerfull, I like it, reminds me of Orbital (in the electronic background) a little as well...
Cool voice too! :)
Greetings from Bonn, Germany and have a fabulous week!
I joined a little contest on myspace - if you like klick here and rate "Trance". :)
Good morning to my favourite Leeds based band:) Just to let you know Billy's got some new tunes up and they are getting sillier. For proper 'roll your eyes and wonder why' nonsense pop over and have a look. Billy has a British valve amp too, although he claims his Grandpappy liberated it in 1776.
