Bio
Zu have finished mixing their new cd, which happens to be also their Ipecac Recordings debut and features collaborations with Mike Patton and King Buzzo of The Melvins . "Carboniferous" cd comes after one year of consistent touring in quartet with Patton. Zu will also play the Patton / Melvins curated All Tomorrow's Parties in December 2008 in U.K. With their original line-up (since 1999 ) of drums ( Jacopo Battaglia ), bass (Massimo Pupillo), and saxophone ( Luca T Mai ), they gradually developed into their current form of highly intricate, experimental , metal/math/no-wave/free/noise/punk/jazz inspired work, breaking from the narrow confines of given music genres, and incorporating a wide array of influences into a unique sound. Driven by a "Black Flag" work ethic, Zu have played the astounding number of over 1000 gigs all over Europe, America, Canada , Asia, Russia, and even Africa, and have released 14 albums on such labels as Ipecac, Atavistic, Frenetic, Red Note, Public Guilt, Headz (Japan), Wallace, etc. Talking of previous recordings, "Igneo" was enginereed by Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio. "Radiale" was recorded by Bob Weston , and went into the jazz polls of NYC Village Voice. Zu have always been curious and open to collaborations with a vast number of great musicians as: Mike Patton, The Melvins, Dalek, The Ex, Peter Brötzmann, Hamid Drake, Ken Vandermark, Alvin Curran, Nobukazu Takemura, Damo Suzuki, Eugene Chadbourne, Mats Gustafsson, Han Bennink,Paal Nilssen-Love, Fred Lonberg- Holm, Joe Lally ( Fugazi ), Altered States , Amy Denio, Steve MacKay ( The Stooges! ), etc. , and shared tours and stages with : Fantomas, The Melvins, Lightning Bolt, The Ex, Ruins, Dälek, NoMeansNo, Vandermark 5, The Thing, and many more. Other points: The Zu/Dälek BigBand record is ready and shall be released sometimes soon. A collaboration with Rob Wright of NoMeansNo on bass & vocals is currently in the works. Zu recently played live soundtrack to "Vexilla" , a new piece by celebrated experimental company Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio. ........ ..You should create your own ..MySpace Layouts.. like me by using ..nUCLEArcENTURy...COM's ..MySpace Profile Editor..!.. ........
