  • Bio

    Zopiclone's sound blends elements of rock, funk, jazz, 80s new wave and prog into a feast for your ears, with such diverse influences as Rush, Dave Matthews, Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, The Police, The Cult, Spirit of the West and Iron Maiden. Marble Sky is the debut album for the quartet, featuring 13 original tracks. Tracked and mixed at London's Emac Recording Studios, under the engineering wizardry of Rob Nation and mastered by Grammy-winning chief mastering engineer Ted Jenson at Sterling Sound in New York. The resulting record is full of driving bass grooves, rock-solid drumming, slick guitar, cool horns, analogue keys and rocking vocals... You can hear all 13 tracks, pick up a copy or write a review of the album here: http://cdbaby.com/cd/zopiclone Founded in October of 2004, Zopiclone is the brainchild of Jeff Parkinson (bass/backing vocals) and Christian Gundlack (lead vocals/keyboards/trombone) -- Jeff, a journeyman bassist, suggested the project. Christian, a classically trained trombonist (BMA) and multi-instrumentalist jumped in with both feet, and the duo began writing original material that would be the basis for Zopiclone's first album, Marble Sky. Soon, they were ready to tackle the challenge of finding great performers who could bring the monster to life. .. ....With style, feel and power, Duke Thornley (drums/percussion, Sloth Machine and The iD) was the perfect person to bring in. Christian had hoped to work with Duke again, having worked together previously in London's The iD, and in various jazz ensembles throughout highschool. They had even been neighbours for a period when both lived in Milton. Duke had returned to Burlington after several years living in Vancouver (and some time spent trekking/guiding in Nepal), and was soon making regular trips down the 403 and 401 to rehearse in London. .. ....In the spring of 2006, Greg Lirette (guitar/backing vocals) added his wizardry to the mix. An experienced performer (The Pro Wallys, Press, The Guyz) and tremendous player, Greg made an immediate impact, rounding out the band's sound. Greg and Jeff had performed together in high school, and had reconnected after losing track of one another for several years. The line-up was set. .. ....A four-piece powerhouse, Zopiclone is unleashed and running amok throughout Southern Ontario.....
