About Me

Here’s a little about us. John and Jeff both own studios in St Louis (John’s is bigger). Jeff is from Baltimore and lives part of the year there. John runs his studio full time and Val comes down from Milwaukee to record and write. Bill lives in Washington, Mo. All production on the record is done by ZVZ. Studio album will be out in 2008 (only one more song to record). Looking for a bassist to play live with us. St Louis area would be nice. And even though the album is a lobor of love, can’t wait to get it done so we can play live. We also do production for other acts. We songwrite and do custom bed music and beats. Everyting you hear is written, played and produced by ZVZ on our own gear. We’re very proud of that. INDEPENDENCE=FREEDOM always remember that.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/26/2006
Band Website: zvzmusic.com
Band Members: VAL BRANBACK- Sings and writes lyrics, chooses bad boyfriends, writes some music, talks to dead people (and thinks they hear her) JEFF CHANCE- Sings, plays keys, writes music, and is pretty good at boiling the volumes of Val's ramblings to dead people down to something living people can understand. JOHN OLIVER- All the sweet guitar licks you hear that you like were played by John. All the groovy bass lines and makes meaty beats, too. By the way, he thinks you're way too conservative. BILL BRIDGEMAN- Plays drums, blocks, hand stuff, writes and sings (welcome back bra).
Influences: rush, phish, zeppelin, ultravox, elton john, bowie, beatles, JONI MITCHELL, jaco, the police, miles davis, all the marleys, quazimojo, the local music scenes of baltimore, st louis, and milwaukee, hot peppers, cold beer, smoky clubs and old bourbon
