Zetas Empire

About Me


Zetas Empire is a five-piece alternative rock band based in Glasgow producing “well-crafted and melodic songs with more guts than a haggis shop” [The Knowhere Guide].

Currently recording their debut EP with the working title “Apocalypse Afterparty” intended for release in the summer of 2009, the band will be gigging around Scotland with hopes of playing to bigger audiences at T-Break and In The City.

Meeting in 2006 at University the band started as a four-piece with Akira joining a week before they played their first gig at Bloc in Glasgow. Since then they have gigged throughout Glasgow and Ayr enjoying great crowd responses and a few stage invasions. Having taken time out in 2008 to concentrate on University coursework the boys are back in 2009 with new material and the same raw live energy as before.
