Visit the Zeptepi Shop to purchase the 2007 album Universality and the debut album Travelling Through Time.
"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
“Their latest album release shows a band set to make their mark and raising the bar for future indie bands... fantastic mix of ripe melodic drama, melancholy and fervour, all wrapped up in their unique and captivating style” Brionne Nash, BUZZ Magazine
"Jangly, catchy rock from Down Under from a band that could be the next Midnight Oil" UBL .com, Feature Artist of the Week
“Zeptepi have an epic quality…the strange blend of styles gives them a certain distinctiveness” Christie Eliezer, Beat Magazine
“Travelling Through Time is a gloriously apocalyptic piece of work… this is seriously good stuff kids” Dr Grouse, 3CR
ZEPTEPI (zep-tep-ee) :
UK born singer/guitarist Phil Dean jumped ship from his homeland in 2000, making for the sunny shores of Melbourne, Australia. A series of archaic pagan rituals went horribly wrong, forcing him to abandon earlier plans of world-domination, and he decided to return to his musical 'career'. The first Zeptepi demos emerged in 2001, but it wasn't until 2004 that a band was recruited, due mainly to a horrific injury to Phil’s sofa which had rendered it uncomfortable.
Bernie Dodd had been living in stasis with his drum kit since the early 1900's (mainly because nobody knew how to turn the stasis machine off), and it was sheer chance that Phil found him and woke him up just seconds before his electricity was cut off. Thus he had a drummer, although one of Bernie’s sticks refused to wake up on the grounds that it was a public holiday.
In 2004 the impossibly good-looking Frank Packer joined up on bass, only to leave almost immediately. Remarkably, another bass player, also called Frank Packer, was recruited the following week, although he was only averagely handsome and smelt a bit funny.
Several keyboard players entered the fray and were promptly dismissed - one for not having a keyboard, another for not having any fingers and another for being unable to conclusively prove that he even existed (his evidence was purely anecdotal and deemed unacceptable by scientific consensus).
In January 2005, the band released their debut album 'Travelling Through Time', a collection of songs recorded at home on a studio constructed from double-sided sticky tape, empty washing-up liquid bottles and 4 pipe-cleaners. Heralded as a classic land-mark album in its genre by nobody at all, it soon disappeared from sight quicker than a French soldier can say "retraite, retraite!".
In 2006 Zeptepi entered a real recording studio, for proper grown-up musicians, and recorded their second album 'Universality'. The album was subsequently mixed in the UK, and released with a full street parade featuring a quartet of marching elves playing the album tracks on tin whistles and harps. Universality confounded the critics and subsequently went platinum in both Liechenstein and Tuvalu, the profits enabling the band to invest in a brand new patch lead.
Bored with a life completely free of rock-star trappings, the band took a break before returning later that year with a fresh new sense of apathy and a swag of poorly conceived compositions, illustrating the band's complete lack of self-respect and original ideas. After deciding that keyboards were rubbish and probably the one thing holding the band back from achieving the legendary status they so clearly deserved, Zeptepi recruited a violin player by the name of Hayley Anderson.
Hayley had been living in a hole in Gippsland that she shared with a well-respected wombat for some years, and showed a remarkable instinct for bad decision-making. As a result, persuading her to join the band was a walk in the park, and Zeptepi struck out in a new direction, taking a left at the lights before heading straight over two roundabouts, going over the flyover, turning right after about fifty yards and then taking the thirteenth left after the second McDonalds before the servo.
Currently the band are not working on their forthcoming third album. Occasionally this changes and a little bit of mixing will get done, but for the most part it's no nearer completion now than it was when they began recording it in May 2008.
