 ZT + THS = CGMP / VSOP
Attention all Zip Tang fans! As you may know,
our drummer's son plays bass for The Hush Sound. On July 20, in
the midst of their "Dance Across the Country" tour, THS will be
headlining at The House of Blues. In a daring display of Cross
Generational Musical Pollination, Zip Tang will perform a short
opening set with a little help from their young friends. This is a Very
Special Onetime Performance that must be seen to be believed.
Tickets are available at The
House of Blues. Don't be alarmed that ZT does not
appear on the marquis – we'll be there. It's a secret show for our
special fans!
The last time THS
headlined at the House of Blues it sold out so get your tickets NOW! |

Getting
much closer to completing the upcoming, still untitled, next album. 10
songs, all originals, (we considered a Jazzy cover of War Pigs, but
we'll save that for an upcoming show) ranging in length from about 4 to
a little over 8 minutes totalling over an hour of our souls set to
music. As we're working hard to complete the final tracks, reviews are
still coming in on our debut album LE. Here's another new one from Prog
Rèsiste, a Rock magazine from Belgium.
Updates should be coming more regularly regarding the new album,
release date. show dates, and a record release party/show.

We're busy writing
and
recording our 2nd album and are about half way into what we anticipate
will be the final track selections. We're nowhere near announcing a
release date yet but we're anticipating hopefully sometime around
summer of 2008 if things go as well as they have so far. Stay tuned for
updates on the progress of the album and possible sneak previews in the
near future.
In the meantime - we're humbled by the overwhelmingly excellent reviews
still coming in for our first effort - LE. Although we weren't
necessarily striving to write "Progressive Rock" or some sub-genre of prog music, (that's just the way the
music oozed out), we consider it an honor to be included in these
esteemed circles of highly knowledgeable music fans and aficionados.
Heartfelt thanks again to all of the insightful reviewers
and to our new fans.
New review from our new friends at ProgressiveEars.com.
Thanks Floyd!

Review of
Luminiferous Ether from ProgressiveWorld.net
8/9/07
Zip
Tang's long-awaited CD - Luminiferous Ether - is
now available online!
More
than a year in the making, this self-produced, labor-of-love
contains a compelling range of exciting material for your hungry
ears. From the rockin' Zappaesque "Tower of Tuna" to the epic
Floydish "Doctor Plush" this CD has something for every fan of
underground rock music.
PLUS
- as a tribute to the most challenging cover song we ever attempted,
this CD includes our interpretive rendition of Emerson, Lake &
Palmer's Tarkus - more than 18 minutes worth of
classic progressive rock. You've just gotta hear it to believe it.
This was a musical mountain that we just had to climb.
So
if you've seen one of our rare live performances, or caught us on
YouTube, or perhaps know us through a connection to The Hush Sound,
check it out. Luminiferous Ether is available on CD Baby.
Also,
watch your email
for a CD release party
announcement.
We don't have a date or a location yet - but we're working on it. We
hope to see you soon.
Thanks
for
your interest and support.
Perry,
Marcus, Rick & Fred
