Zeni Geva

Zeni Geva (JP)

ZENI GEVA is a Japanese prog-hardcore band, led by singer and guitarist KK Null, one pioneering group of innovators and legend. ZENI GEVA was founded in Tokyo in 1987 and quickly found a dedicated fan base in the states. Their popularity in the west enabled ZENI GEVA to be one of the first Japanese bands to tour the States with bands like Bastro, Crash Worship, Dazzling Killmen, Don Caballero, Eyehategod, Melvins, Neurosis, Pain Teens, Shellac and more. Steve Albini rates ZENI GEVA as one of his favourite bands. He highlights the band's wide range of influences for keeping the ZENI GEVA sound diverse and challanging. Steve also admires the way ZENI GEVA embrace the Japanese culture in their sound rather than trying to Westernize it. Subsequent tours have comprehensively covered Europe, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, proving a fast emerging worldwide audience. Also ZENI GEVA recorded twice for John Peel Session on BBC. ZENI GEVA has released 12 albums (5 out of them produced by Steve Albini) on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles, Null's self label NUX Organization, Skin Graft, Neurosis' Neurot Recordings and more.
