Zun Zun Egui
Zun Zun Egui played The Local Stage at End Of The Road Festival 2009.
Zun Zun Egui hail from Montpelier, Bristol but are from everywhere. They make a hypnotic blare-out sound that is making a joyful noise. Very on the corner, off it's head and a blast. This is "tropicalism" but with a influence of subterranean shaped rock edges and quick edits, Japanese progressive epicness and a heavy dose of Fela Kuti inspired eternal groove. East African guitar practise hotwired to Zappa like subversions and underpinned by a thumping rhythm section sounds hot. This is where the wild music lives on. Political, inspirational and dance.
A heavy, heavy dance band. East African guitar practice is inflamed by Mauritian culture, Japanese prog gets a big bass undertow. They are blaring their 21st urban street music to the 5th degree from all corners... very 'on the corner'. ZZE are from Bristol, England but the world is in their music. The band's rep is good on the back of some raucous live shows and the club night they run in Bristol called 'How Come...'
Zun Zun release their first 12” 'Bal La Poussiere' on Blank Tapes (Bass Clef, Scatter, Thee Stranded Horse) in May. The title is a Mauritian saying meaning 'The best dancer raises more dust from the floor...' With Hermana doing the press this Spring/Summer they plan to tour up and down the UK and Europe to delirious effect.
