"Universality is a sincere album, the way it opens up your heart, the way it makes you close your eyes for a couple of extra seconds when you blink, the way it makes you tap you foot, all of it is a representation of the authenticity of the feeling and the talent it took to make Universality what it is." Lauren Wilkinson, Halo-17

ZEPTEPI (zep-tep-ee) :
Zeptepi was born early in 2001, the brainchild of songwriter Phil Dean. The band is based in Melbourne, Australia, Phil relocating there from England at the turn of the new millennium. Influenced by a disparate group of artists including The Waterboys, The Only Ones, Kate Bush and The Dubliners, Zeptepi have been taking a dynamic live show around Australia for the last five years, a refreshing blast of music infused with soul and passion, majestic highs and tranquil lows.
Initially started as a solo project, Zeptepi soon became a full band and have now released two albums on their own label – Travelling Through Time (2005) and Universality (2007). The music refuses to fit neatly into any one category, following no fashion… leaping from new wave to rock and to folk with an effortless ease.
The band are currently working on their third album, following the music wherever it leads with a new line-up comprising Phil Dean (vocals/guitar), Bernie Dodd (drums), Frank Packer (bass) and Hayley Anderson (violin).
