ZIA is an exclusively electronic band who began performing on the East Coast in 1992. Founded by Elaine Walker, ZIA bangs out pro-space and sci-fi music on futuristic instruments. All of the synths are triggered ALL LIVE with drum sticks! Microtonal musical scales run rampant throughout the ZIA repertoire. In the pop genre this is a monumental task which adds an eerie, futuristic edge to the songs.
ZIA was together for 13 years in Boston and NYC, and has recently relocated to Arizona, developing a larger show, complete with a spacey storyline. ZIA currently has 3 full length albums and two EPs. The newest release, Martians, was officially released at the first XPrize Cup! The video for the title track was filmed on Devon Island in the Canadian High Arctic (75°North), commissioned by the Haughton-Mars Project.

Hi ZIA. Thanks for the add. Love all that Microtonal stuff. We're with you all the way on the Pro-space vibe. Please check out our music. Peace. Army of Mice.
Hey Elaine, Look what I found! I was at this show at babyhead in late 92-early 93. I know 'cos I went w/my buddy Spike and we lived together back then. The photos are by Providence photographer Lisa Gourley. You can find more pics on Facebook. Enjoy and trip out!
