Legendary Zeke are visiting Fyds humble floor along with local heroes Columbian Neckties!
“ZEKE sound like the Dwarves if they snorted a tub of meth every day” – LA Weekly “Chainsaw punk rock played with a MC5/Motörhead attitude” – Village Voice “I can say without hyperbole that this big-guitar engine-block rock is a million times better than whatever it is you’re currently listening to.” – Guitar World
“Ride With Zeke” has quickly become the mantra for music fans who have accepted the invitation brought on by Heckler Magazine when they said, “Welcome the new monsters of rock.” It’s no doubt true that West Coast punk / thrashers ZEKE are monsters. Ever since their very first gig at the Rock City in Seattle in 1993, people have had no choice but to pay attention. Their records will assault you, and their live show will batter you. ZEKE established a nasty disposition while cutting teeth on their own brash hardcore punk. ZEKE formed in 1993 with an original lineup of Blind Marky Felchtone, Donny Paycheck, Mark Pierce, and Dizzy Lee Roth. The band’s first release was 1993’s West Seattle Acid Party, a single on Wrecking Ball Records, followed by the Holley 750 single on IFA Records. ZEKE then set out to bring their energetic recordings to the stage and established a more than formidable reputation as “the live band to beat” via concentrated regional touring. The self titled single Zeke was then released on Scooch Pooch Records and was followed by the 1995 release Super Sound Racing. ZEKE was heralded as “Rock and Roll outlaws,” playing every conceivable venue that would have them. The release of the next full-length, Flat Tracker a year later ensured ZEKE had enough audio ammo to stay on the road for months on end. And tour they would… In 1997 Man’s Ruin Records issued the live album PIG to a rousing response. ZEKE then signed to Epitaph Records in 1998, releasing, Kicked In The Teeth. It was mixed and engineered by Jack Endino and the album’s increased distribution and availability found the band legions of white-knuckled new followers. In early 2000, ZEKE released Dirty Sanchez, which was recorded with Kurt Bloch of The Fastbacks. The album bludgeoned with tireless energy. Following the album’s release, bassist Mark Pierce left the band and was replaced by Jeff “The Kid” Matz.
Throughout the time that ZEKE called Epitaph home, they toured relentlessly. The band paired up with anyone and everyone who would have them, hitting the road with the likes of Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), All, The Voodoo Glow Skulls, D.O.A., The Super Suckers and even a few dates with Pearl Jam. Their live shows rocked like this might be the last show ever. The band’s fifth full-length, Death Alley, was released in 2001. The album continued the band’s full-throttle approach, utilizing ZEKE‘s essential formula — a manic, methamphetamine lab distillation of early American hardcore and classic rock — to full effect. After leaving Epitaph and releasing 2003’s Live and Uncensored, ZEKE began writing new material and set out looking for a suitable label that they could not only feel at home with, but one that could handle their “balls to the wall” rock and roll and enjoy the band as fans first. A contract with Relapse was inked in October, 2003 and saw the band join an artist stable that are at once musically mated and touring compatible. ZEKE found their new home. ZEKE set the cruise control to “white hot” on their Relapse debut, ‘Til the Livin’ End. A relentless ride of rock and roll abandon, the album mixes punk nihilism with a hard hitting metal extravagance. It burns from start to finish, as super-charged guitars, electrifying leads and a raucous punk attitude race fullthrottle down a highway to Hell. Thank the gods of rock and roll, you’ve just met your new favorite band. Zeke has now reformed with a new lineup in 2016 and is currently working on a new ablum entitled “HELLBENDER” for release on Relapse records in early 2017, Look Out!!!
Punk rock garage ala New bomb Turks, Saints and other cool stuff.
Diplomatic Immunity er et rock’n’roll-band med undertoner af punk og grunge. Med tempo 160 banker bandet afsted, og skaber et fantastisk lydbillede – live, såvel som på deres nyeste EP ’23’.
Den nye EP ’23’ er netop udkommet d. 1. januar 2018 og indeholder 4 nye stykker musik. Gennem den fundamentbyggende bas, de hårdtarbejdende trommer, og melodier fra guitarist og forsanger der sætter sig fast i den inderste del af øret, bliver der skabt en oplevelse man aldrig vil glemme!
Diplomatic Immunity har en ekstrem sult på den danske musikscene.
Bandet består af 3 barndomsvenner og har sine rødder i Nordjylland. Bandet tog sine spæde skridt i 1999, og siden har der været en del forskellige konstellationer, inden Diplomatic Immunity fandt frem til sin hårde kerne. Bandet er som genopstået med ny energi, drivkraft, og fandenivoldskhed.
