   About Zissou
We've been playing together for about two and a half years now, but have achieved as much as some bands do in two months. Despite this we keep going even after being geographically separated thanks to university. We're not really sure why we stick at it, but we hope you'll enjoy the results.

We're intending to put a fair bit of effort into recording some new songs (and some old songs) over the summer and maybe that'll end up becoming some kind of single or criminally short album or something like that.

If you're feeling especially helpful and want to offer us a gig we'd be happy to oblige if it's at all possible, simply send us a message here on Myspace. The most convenient places for us to play are currently between Bath and Cardiff but we can be easily convinced to travel, so don't let that put you off.

Good news for all
I have confirmed a photographer to attend all shows, she will take lots of pics of each band and they will all be posted and tagged on here.
If you are gonna be a part of our show can you please get as many of your fans and bands your friends with to add to this site and post comments about YOU before and after the gigs as ive been told by the record representative and festival advisors that this site will be their main source of communication and band research not just with me but with all involved.
I will be releasing the first dates this week as all the venues I approached confirmed interest and in many cases asked for a running contract to make these shows a weekly or monthly thing at there venue and are negotiating discounted drinks for people who attend aswell!!
The more people who join this page the better it is for all of us , I have shortlisted all who replied. Please message me if you have any questions

Bring the music now

Hi, zombies sounds cool. Shame about the other gig. It's hard as we always want to play different veneues and sometimes loose money in the event. Speak soon about something else though.

Hey guys, been offered a gig in a nice small venue in Midsomer Norton. They said we could pick our own support band. I think you'd have a 25 min set and we'd have 30 min. Check it out and let us know what you think. Venue is called the Wunder Bar.

Did you know, that no matter its size or weight, no piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven times!

Enjoy the music!
