Sweet and dandy
Imagine what would happen if all the animals were let out of their cages.
Do you think they'd run amuck through the city with elephant stomps, tiger growls and hippo bites? If you can picture that chaos unfolding, then you're only experiencing a tenth of what Zootango will bring to your homes.
Yeah, they play pop-rock, but that's only the beginning. The group started out in the summer of 2004 as three restless guys in Toronto who wanted to cause a ruckus. They really began playing music together four years ago, over a common love of the Kinks, the Who, and Led Zeppelin.
Today, those influences still exist, but have become much more eclectic. And it shows. After only a year, the Zootango EP was born, an amalgam of sounds and ideas ranging from hums to growls.
Plus, they think puppies are cute.
Attention to detail is a motto the band upholds as well as an original sound that bears no repetition. This is a band that wants to show its diversity, but also wants the airwaves.
And while bears are doing dances in tutus and monkeys clanging on gongs to Zootango, you gotta wonder who was smart enough to let these humans out of their cages?
