biographical info

Zeus was born from the musical friendship of Mike O'Brien and Carlin Nicholson. The two Toronto-based musicians have been living on the road for the past few years as the backing band for singer/songwriter and Broken Social Scene member Jason Collett. With a lineup rounded out by longtime friends and musical compatriots Rob Drake and Neil Quin, Zeus draws upon classic influences to craft timeless songs, complete with fuzzed out guitars and shimmering harmonies. The band's debut EP demonstrates an innate sense of melody and includes a raucous cover of Genesis' "That's All" which, as the title of the EP would aptly suggest, sounds like Zeus.
