About Me


Zen, if forced to describe, is a unique fusion of Indie-Rock and Shoegaze. They possess a certain Gothic ambience both lyrically and musically. Although their music can be dark and moody; it is easy accessible by their use of melody and pop formulas. Comparisons have included; Guano Apes, K's Choice, Incubus, STP, Lacuna Coil and The Cure. Zen's drive and perseverance is rooted in their love for creating music, performing live and connecting with their fans and community. Many of its' members have lent their talents to other bands and side-projects as well. This current line-up and its' surrounding team feature some of Long Beach's finest underground musicians, photographers and artists.
