Zukanican are based in Liverpool, centred around a mysterious neo-classical worshipping building. All manner of strange activities take place there, but none so more strange as the sight of four musicians gathering together to incant in their native mother tongue of zukan.....
If you would like to book Zukanican to play, please don't be shy - drop us a line.
Zukanican release their music on their own label Medical Records, as well as other sympathetic arthouses, such as Pickled Egg Records.

A mini-CD comes in an illustrated 5-page hand-made mini-book.
