Legend of the Western noise avant-garde.

Formed in Ostia, west of Rome, in 1997, Zu is known for its broad synthesis of avant-garde genres. While their line-up is typical of a jazz band, their hard-edged sound owes much to punk rock, and their work defies easy categorization. Noise, math rock, industrial, avant-garde, drone and ambient have all been mentioned in this context. Thanks to its focus, it has found dozens of kindred musicians in bands like Einsturzende Neubauten, Sonic Youth, Can, The Stooges, The Ex, and soloists like Mike Patton, Ken Vandermark and Mats Gustafsson, with whom it has collaborated over the past two decades. The latest addition to this mosaic is the Italian-Japanese line-up RuinsZu with Tatsuya Yoshida, whose concert we hosted in May 2024 as part of the Other Music concert series. This time Zu is coming in the traditional line-up as a power trio.
