ZZG - Classic Rock

ZZG was formed by guitarist and singer Daniel Roberts(Chuffs) along with bassist Keith Matthews. “Our desire was to create rock music in the vein of late 60’s and early 70’s classic rock and we intended for anyone who heard our music to leave with guitar hooks firmly embedded in their mind hours later." Our philosophy has remained unchanged, though our music has evolved to include a progressive rock element.

“Trapped in the Mirror” - ZZG’s debut album is entitled “Trapped in the Mirror” and was recorded to have a particular 60’s -70’s period sound. Daniel’s voice has been described as having Bowiesque elements while musically the album may be said to reflect the influences of Deep Purple, Van Halen, Yes, Pink Floyd and other classic period musicians.

ZZG's Current lineup as of 2011 is:
Dan Roberts(Guitars)
Craig Birnie (Drums)
Hugh Blemings(Keys)
Keith Matthews (Bass)
ZZG are located in Canberra, Australia and are currently writing a second album with seven new songs currently being arranged. (as compiled on the bands website)
