Hailing from Orange County, CA. Zebrahead — Ali Tabatabaee (vocals), Greg Bergdorf (guitar), Matty Lewis (vocals/guitar), Ben Osmundson (bass) and Ed Udhus (drums) — are just back from a successful tour of Europe and the band is set to hit the road for a trek of US dates in support of the group’s highly-anticipated new album ‘Phoenix’.
This full length CD/DVD combo pack features 16 new songs. The DVD features the never-released BROADCAST TO THE WORLD DVD, with live footage, all videos from that album and Zebrahead antics. with most tracks produced by Cameron Webb (Social Distortion, Motorhead, Papa Roach) along with a few tracks produced by Zebrahead’s old friend and producer from their debut release Howard Benson (Daughtry, Saosin, POD Adema).
Excited about their second release for ICON Music Entertainment, the band is revitalized, road-ready and eager to get the party started. The quintet comes out kicking, delivering a flurry of pummeling rhythms, clench-fisted chords and meaty hooks that we have come to expect from Zebrahead. In addition to the new CD the band is already slated to play Japan’s Summersonic Festival, Europe’s Download Festival and Switzerland’s Greenfield Festival. US tour dates to be announced soon.
Zebraheads new CD ‘Phoenix’ is the successor to the bands first ICON Music release ‘Broadcast to the World’, the follow-up to Zebrahead’s critically acclaimed third release, ‘MFZB’. ‘MFZB’ had the highest testing alternative song for months running with “Rescue Me”. ‘MFZB’ also went gold in Japan! ‘Playmate of the Year’, released in 2000 to rave reviews, the album’s infectious title track received over 4000 spins on Modern Rock and Rock radio, garnering airplay on some of the nation’s biggest alternative stations.
