Zeus

[bouche]

fuckeeng zeus man! what an amazing show.

who's seen them?

I came home with their latest lp on vinyl and an ep on vinyl. It's so wonderful to see bands supporting this format.

great fucking band.

[Northern Wish]

I really wish I could have been there, but it was a good friends birthday and I couldn't miss it....

Glad you enjoyed it, I think their album is tops.

[Booche]

Yup, they gave me hard boners. I was wondering if their studio could hold up live. Fuck.

I wasn't that familiar with them going into the show last night and I walked away a big fan. The charisma and harmonies had me at hello. People don't write songs that way anymore and I like it!

I'm going to listen to the album all day today and can not wait to see them again.

Thanks for making us go Boochey.

Great show, super nice guys.

That last pic is of Carlin rocking their vintage Juno 60 which is somewhat integral to their sound, or at least they're all very fond of it.

Jeremy Little was behind their sound last night, and the entire tour...it was great to see him. He always seems to be involved in the best acts. He got the band to sign the vinyl i picked up which adds a nice little shine to the album collection.

Their show at the Horseshoe in Toronto Dec. 2nd was amazing. My 2nd time seeing them and could not believe how fuckin good they sound. Super tight, amazing pop hooks played with a wicked sense of tone. I've been talking them up to friends and I highly recommend seeing and experiencing them. I totally agree with Ms. Huxtable and was thinking the same thing watching them: that bands don't write songs like that anymore - really, really good songs with fantastic melodies.

Jer is really humble (in general) about his role in Zeus but is totally integral to their sound- they collectively call him JerBro. Collett insists on working with him (as his former bassist he knows the whole catalogue intimately) as do the Zeus guys. Since Mike O'Brien and Carlin are producers/engineers/sidemen/songwriters and their sound is highly refined they're immensely concerned with reproducing in this case the two albums they've been touring in support of (which they produced) their own and Jason's Rat A Tat. Jer's role then is to essentially mix the band/ album live off the floor so that it has as much fidelity with the recording as possible. Zeus don't 'jam' per se, they have improvisational elements for sure and might take a bit of liberty hear and there but generally they're trying to re-create the albums they produced.

Zeus is my favourite discovery of 2010. The album is almost as good as the live show. So diverse and cool.
