The live Electric lineup is still Mike Zute: Bass/ Vocs and Cory D: Guitar/ Vocs unless otherwise stated in the gig listings!
-If you're a drummer or guitarist who is interested in filling in w/ the ZUTE band, email me [email protected], or just show up at a gig and inquire!

Bio:

Right now, this bio is more of an explanation! ZUTE is a nickname Ive had since grade school. I formed The ZUTE band in 2002, after playing with various bands throughout the 90s. Currently the ZUTE band is a Cover and Original band based in North Jersey. (The official band website is www.MikeZute.com , you can read more wacky details there.) For live performance I usually play the bass guitar and sing. My purpose for this MySpace site is to focus on myself, Mike Zute, the singer/ songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist, self-producer in the music realm; and overall Entertainer. (This is more like my "personal artist site" and www.MikeZute.com is more like "The ZUTE band site.") If I remove a song off of this site, I will make sure I upload it to my other site for audio, which has more free mp3's of my music: www.SoundClick.com/MikeZute
-ZuteGirl Models are attractive young ladies who display the ZUTE logo! They are not part of the live band. They are just part of the ZUTE internet promotion unit! You can see some of their images on this site, and you can see their â€œniceâ€ photos at www.ZuteGirls.com . You can see "PG rated" interviews and skits w/ ZuteGirls here at myspace videos, or my YouTube channel: www.YouTube. com/MikeZute
If you are greater than 18 years old, you can see explicit photos of some "Naughty" ZuteGirls at www.NaughtyZuteGirls.com . There is also a site for the videos involving the Naughty ZuteGirls and Mik: www.NaughtyZuteGirlsVOD.com . If youâ€™re over 18 years old and into adult entertainment, then goto those sites to find out more. This myspace site is primarily for my music and the band! Donâ€™t leave any explicit graphic comments or pictures of full nudity on this myspace page! Keep in mind that Myspace entertains a wide variety of ages, so we all have to follow the rules here!
The above pic is my girlfriend Franny and I (circa 2006).
She is a "Nice" Zute Girl and does not like the "Naughty" Zute Girls.

Member Since: 2/20/2005
Band Website: MikeZute.com
Band Members: The current live performance lineup for the ZUTE band is: Mike Zute (Vocals/ Bass Guitar); Cory Dâ€™Agosta (Lead Guitar / Vocals); and our best available fill in drummer for now. For my current original songs posted here, I (Mike Zute) self-recorded all the vocals & instruments; except the drums on "Me, You & Your GirlFriend," played by Adam J. Pliss.

The ZUTE band live:

Influences: I'll try to list the bands that were most influential in making me want to perform & write music: 60's & 70's Guitar Rock: i.e. Black Sabbath, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Zombies, Jethro Tull, Rush, Kiss;; Classic Folk / Country: Johnny Cash, John Denver, Jim Croce;; Old School Punk: Bad Religion, The Descendents, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Suicidal Tendencies;; 80's Metal: Iron Maiden, Metallica, Whitesnake, Motley Crue;; 80's Alternative: Devo, Talking Heads, Smithereens;; 90's Alternative: Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, N.I.N., Rage/Machine, Sublime, Presidents of USA;; 90â€™s Pop Punk: Green Day, Dramarama, Blink 182, The Offspring, Weezer;; 90â€™s Metal: Korn, Clutch, Helmet, Godsmack, System of a Down;; etc. I have a million other influences, but this gives you an idea. There is no way that one of my tunes can reflect all of these bands.

Sometimes the Non-conformist, defiant attitude and lyrics of some of these artists is a bigger influence than their music, and visa-versa. (Some have hit me more with the music than the lyrics/ attitude.)
Sounds Like: These are bands people have compared me to, but all my songs are different: Weezer, Fuel, Barenaked Ladies, Foo Fighters, Weird Al, The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion, Blink 182, Sabbbath, Peter Murphy, Frank Zappa; "A punked out Lou Reed", "a lower pitched Geddy Lee" (Rush), "The Cars on crack", etc. On some heavier tunes: Korn, System, Rage, etc.
Type of Label: None
