Zammuto

The majority might know Nick Zammuto as founding member, songwriter and lead singer of his band 'The Books' who toured the world this year in support of their highest selling album 'The Way Out'. However, following this he started spending his energy on new musical ventures, namely his latest band 'Zammuto' which, since its formation, constantly released new material - track by track and featured by well-known online media like Pitchfork, Stereogum or Tiny Mix Tapes. The approach is similarly experimental as with 'The Books', who, according to Pitchfork, even are 'a genre of one' and released four highly acclaimed records. On Stage, 'Zammuto' grows up to a four-piece line-up consisting of multi-instrumentalist Gene Back, Drummer/Percussionist Sean Dixon, Mike Zammuto on bass and Nick himself on vocals, guitar and electronics. Parallels to Zammuto's former band are also obvious when it comes to the visuals which are constantly interacting with the music. On tour, apart from new songs, one can also look forward to 'The Books'' classics as well as unreleased material. In spring 2012, 'Zammuto's self-titled debut was released on NYC-based label Temporary Residence which is also home to bands like 'The Books' and 'Explosions In The Sky'. In December 2011, the band also dropped a limited edition single containing the songs "Idiom Wind", F U C-3P0" and "Weird Ceiling" on UK label Make Mine. First shows in Europe are to be expected in winter 2012!
