ZUCCHINI DRIVE
Goodyear Television Playhouse

Zucchini Drive are an eclectic electric vocal duo, who found their roots in the winter of 2003 somewhere in between London, Paris and Brussels . What started out as a sideproject developed quickly into a full-time occupation. Marcus Graap (Stacs of Stamina) and Tom De Geeter (Cavemen Speak) both kept their influences, being the acoustic lo-fi sound of Cavemen Speak on the one hand and the electronica bounce rhythms of Stacs of Stamina on the other. After plenty of touring in Europe and releasing albums independently (first as the World After 4/02, later Gunporn), the Zucchini brothers signed to 2ndrec (Europe) & Hue (Japan) to release the instant classic full-length Being Kurtwood (2006). For this album Tom & Marcus could count on an impressive list of producers and guest musicians. Styrofoam, Populous and B.Fleischmann from the Morr Music Label, as well as Anticon's finest Alias. On vocals we could find the undisputed Markus Acher (the Notwist), the sharp MC-duo Grand Buffet and fast rapper Bleubird. Italian indie heroes Giardini di Mirò added a warm dimension to some tracks.
Zucchini Drive was always honoured to play with different artists. The collaborations were as plentiful as they were diverse, showing that Zucchini Drive do not fear to cross borders. A constant search for innovation gives their music a fresh and authentic sound

Anyway, while tearing up clubs in Europe & Japan in 2006, the boys started working on their latest full-length. Choosing a different approach again, they limited guest appearances and took time to get more involved in the production-process. They selected a small group of musicians to build their unique sound. Musical wizards as Kaeoflux (responsible for the production on six tracks), Radical Face (two songs) or musical collaborators and friends as Mich from Hitch, Pol from Galatasaray and last but not least Nomad.
