New review from
Dutch Progressive Rock Page -
The title
track may be one of the best new prog songs I have heard
all year. Zip Tang had a
very high standard to live up to and I am happy to
say they have exceeded all expectations.
A band that can consistently deliver the goods and
maintain an exceptionally high quality
throughout is worthy of more attention. 9
out of 10!

Chicago based Progressive Rock band. We primarily pay
homage to the band Porcupine Tree, but we throw in a few
surprises here and there.
Zip Tang
Zip Tang crawls out of their
studio after two years to debut some brand spankin' new
Eclectic Progressive Original Rock from their upcoming 6th
album and a few tunes from their back catalogue. Chicago
prog rock veterans Perry Merritt on guitar and vocals, and
Fred Faller on drums, continue to evolve as a power prog
trio with their new bassist Andrew Bunk.

BIG NEWS fans and friends - Zip Tang will live on! Meet and welcome our new bass player Andrew Bunk! After many months of uncertainty about our future and the daunting task of trying to find a local high caliber player into our eclectic flavor of prog, Andrew came in to audition at ZiTi studio and just about nailed four of our most technically challenging songs. Much like our drummer Fred Faller's audition 15 years ago, after the first couple of songs we knew we had found our new bassist.
We're very excited and have a new shot of enthusiasm to
resume development of our new concept album, and to get out
and play live again with the high energy and solid feel
Andrew's style gives our old and new music.
Here's a little more info on Andy:
In the summer of 1988, Andy's friends needed someone to play
bass and they happened to have a bass he could borrow. He gave
it a shot, and 30 years later he's still going strong! After
spending his formative years banging out all kinds of metal
from thrash to glam, his musical influences began to expand
and eventually led him to writing, recording and performing
with numerous original and cover bands in both Chicago and
NYC, including Profile, Braindance, Backstage Pass, X-Factor,
Divinity Compromised and Silent
Lucidity. He has played many of Chicago's best venues in
addition to touring nationally including the prestigious
ProgPower USA festival. He is currently an endorsing artist
for the legendary Spector Bass company.

With a heavy
heart we are sad to announce that Zip Tang is now a duo.
After 15 years and 5 CDs, our bassist, and resident
sommelier, Richard Wolfe, has decided it is time to step
away from the band. We have nothing but fond memories of
our time together and we wish him all the best.
While Doc's
departure leaves a huge hole in the band, Zip Tang is far
from being done. We have a lot of new material for our 6th
album that we are determined to finish.
Over the
last couple of months, our good friend Marc Piane has been kind enough to jump
in with his more-jazzy style of bass playing and
composition skills. Unfortunately, Marc is also an
in-demand player with a very full calendar making it
difficult for him to rehearse regularly. So with Marc's support, we are
actively seeking a bassist who digs our vibe and is
interested in co-creating the next phase of Zip Tang
II.
Thanks,
Perry and Fred
