Welcome to the world of THE ZIMMERS!
Formed in 2007, The Zimmers are not only the oldest gigging band in the world (with an average age of 80), they are also the most celebrated, with world records all over the place. Oldest Rock Band, Oldest Lead singer to have a top 40 single, and without doubt
the biggest worldwide love affair with any band ever, with over 100 million people having heard of them even before they'd released a single!Having recorded their debut single at the famous Abbey Road Studios, under the watchful eye of Acclaimed Producer Mike Hedges. the band soon became addicted in the recording process and have been busy recording with some of todays brightest young producers and engineers.
With the debut single staying two weeks in the UK top 40 it was only a matter of time before they were back...AND THAT TIME IS NOW!
The band have been busy touring the UK and are close to finishing their debut album 'Lust for Life', with songs such as'My Generation' originally performed by The Who
'Firestarter' originally performed by The Prodigy
'Lust For Life' originally performed by Iggy Pop
'Fight For Your Right to Party' originally performed by The Beastie Boys
and a few surprises too!!!!
With Buster now a writer for FHM Magazine and John Tree now a DJ on local radio, the band have gone on to some amazing things outside of the band.
