Australian ‘roots’ has finally matured, with the deepest reggae splash and funkiest urban swing that is Zennith.
From the deep scrub of Bulwai country in Kuranda, Far North Queensland, emerges a sound that fuses skankin’ rainforest reggae with funky hip-hop.
Zennith have been rippin' up venues and festivals in the Tropical North with their roots/ska/urban combo.
Zennith is a core group of 4 young Kuranda musicians, Aden Brim (Songwriter/Lead Singer), Isaac Crowley (Bass), Robert Donahue (Guitar) and Lindsay Snider (Drums), with backing by Willie Brim (Keys & Vocals) and Astro Brim (Percussion & Vocals).
The Kuranda community, in the rainforest of Far North Queensland, Australia, has produced and attracted an abundance of musical talent over the past 30 years and is about to do it again.
Zennith have built up a hyped local support with their high-energy rhythms and rhymes. Their ability to unite and rock audiences simultaneously is becoming infamous around the music haunts and roots festivals of Tropical North Queensland.
In 2007, the group have blown away audiences in Palm Island, the Laura Festival, Kuranda Roots Festival, and Reggaetown, and were finalist’s in the QSong Music Awards.
The group recently played the Big Sound music conference, Solid Territory jam and the Island Time Festival in October. The guys have supported Boney M, Katchafire, The Black-Seeds, Koolism and Ash Grunwald.
Zennith have just recorded their 8 track mini-album “I Like It” at Pegasus Studio’s in Cairns with Torres Strait producer Wil Kepa, and are preparing to launch the CD before heading to the season of Woodford Folk Festival in December.
Zennith are the new future of roots and indigenous music from down-under, kickin’ stereo types and rockin’ dance floors.
Thanks for the add. And can I just say you boys are amazing. You have so much talent. You might not remember, but at the 'Big Talk One Fire' conference in Cairns. I was there. I was one of the girls that came up after everyone had left with Tully State High, and you gave us the CD? Also saw you at the Karanda Roots June 2007. I still think you are amazing. You make some awesome sounds. Keep up the great work. Also, would you be able to put Karanda Reggae on your site? I love that song. Peace. Liza xox

Since Double & Big Lu signed to Nurcha Records in early 2007 they have made a huge name for themselves with their vibrant, energetic and unique live show, travelling all over Australia and performing to a steadily growing fanbase.
Rather than dropping an album together, the duo have decided to do solo album's first to give the scene a taste of who they really are as individual's, and as a result, Nurcha Records is proud to present the first single off Double's LP (to be released soon) titled 'Lifted' featuring none other than Big Lu, with Estaban Globe (Sweden) on production and the cuts are thanks too DJ D*Phy.
A date for the album release will be announced soon!
