NO ZU have existed in various forms since 2007, but they’ve always been inescapably antipodean in outlook and feeling, yet particularly global and universal in influence. Dug up from deep within the Melbourne underground dance world, the 8-piece collective is known for its otherworldly group vocals, wild horns, housey synths, deep groove basslines and Latin percussion.
Each NO ZU show, whether at a local/international music festival or at a smokey basement club, always threatens to manifest into an unbridled, sweat-fest of a mutant dance party where distinctions between performer and audience disappear and the heat beat possesses all.
In 2013, NO ZU put on exactly that kind of show as part of PBS Drive Live.
But it is their 2016 Studio 5 Live session on The Afterglow that we are going to revisit on The Breakfast Spread on March 19. So save the date and start your Friday morning the right way with the body-music extravaganza that only NO ZU can bring.
Studio 5 Live is proudly brought to you by our friends at Mountain Goat.
