zinda band

Rocky the drummer and Jim, lead guitar, have been playing together since they were kids. They lost contact for over 20 years until a childhood friend, Rick Helferich, was dying of cancer and the two met up at a benefit for him. We vowed to "never let the music die again" and began to get together and play music again....that is where this started. Since then, we have been joined by Tom the bass player, who has played in bands all over Chicago and the state of Illinois. He has been with the band about 2 years. Kim, on vocals and keyboard, joined the band in 2007. She is a teacher, Jim is an Arms Dealer, Tom is a co-owner and manager of a vet clinic and Rocky is a route sales manager...just a bunch of workin stiffs ! We began as The Cheep Bastards...but no one will put our name in lights....so we had to change it to be more "family friendly". MySpace Stuff at YourSpaceZone.com-Myspace Layouts mspmb src
