It was 2012 that four longhaired lads from Z\u00fcrich started a band that completely dedicated itself to the sound of 80\u2019s Rock. More than 80 shows later they are more determined than ever to reach out to both old and new fans with their original high-powered Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They recorded their first album in 2013 at the famous Tonmanufaktur Studios in Z\u00fcrich. They were bold enough to call it \u201cGreatest Hits<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two years later with the help of V.O. Pulver<\/strong> (Gurd, Poltergeist, Pulver<\/strong> and Panzer<\/strong>) at Little Creek Studio they produced and eventually released the album Wild! Wild! Wild!<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then after some internal changes in 2016 including the addition of a second guitarist, King Zebra<\/strong> had to say goodbye to it\u2019s singer Tom Hoochy Coo. One year later, Eric St. Michaels<\/strong> joined. With Eric\u2019s longtime career as front man and shouter for the rock band China<\/strong>, this native-born American from New Jersey brought a distinctive voice and has contributed significantly to the newly defined sound of King Zebra<\/strong>. The first release with the new lead singer was called \u201cBad Idea<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 will find Eric St. Michaels, Lauer, Jerry, Ben and Michael on stage together and ready for action. Ladies and gentlemen, we loud & proudly present: King Zebra<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
