zZz is the sleazy steamin\' locomotive barreling out of Amsterdam-a city, if ever there was one,
that needs no introduction. By combining the doom-laden vocals of the late Ian Curtis and the
dark comedic psychobilly madnezZz of Cramps singer Lux Interior, a monstrous thunder is let
loose. Organ, drums and vocals is all it takes for this duo to serve up their Molotov cocktail of
violent trance, psychedelic electro wave, garage soul and dirty rock & roll.

zZz came to life at the turn of the century when two house mates, Björn Ottenheim and Daan Schinkel,
decided to make music with a simple drum kit and an old $50 church organ in their basement. Within
a week they had composed five songs and were invited to play at the party of an infamous Dutch
smuggler, where The Sound of zZz was born.

From then on zZz built up a notorious live reputation and within the year,their demo, Bikini Inferno, was
released. Excelsior Recordings got hold of a copy and after seeing the duo perform as support act for
the 80\'s Matchbox B-Line Disaster, they were offered a record deal. A few months later, Excelsior
released a 7\" single, which contained the songs \'Godspeed\' and \'Ecstasy\'. The track \'Ecstasy\' recently
featured in the soundtrack of the Dutch hit movie \'Phileine Zegt Sorry\', accompanying the film\'s steamiest
sex scene. Delicious.

Over the years, zZz has played all the major \'alternative\' radio shows, venues and festivals in the Netherlands
and Belgium. They supported dutch rockqueen Anouk during her sold out shows in Ahoy, Rotterdam and Sportpaleis,
Antwerp. Both 11.000+ venues. zZz has blown people away in the UK and Germany and toured the USA for 4 month
after the release of their debut \'Sound Of zZz\' in may 2005. Their album and their concerts where praised by
the press including Spin magazine and Hustler.\'Sound Of zZz\' has been released in Europe and North America.

Early 2006 zZz continues to tour extensivly in the Netherlands and France. March the \'Sound Of zZz\' will
be released in Japan and a monthlong tour is planned in the US. zZz will play at the SXSW festival in
Austin, Texas for the 3rd time and will do a recordingsession at the legendary Sun Studio.
This spring and summer they will keep touring through Japan and Europe.
