Background/ Composition: Zeus are a Toronto-based quartet of highly skilled musicians. Two of them normally back Jason Collett, but have deservedly stepped into the spotlight all on their lonesome.

Cloud Control – “This Is What...

Five Questions with Mike O'Brien of Zeus

in
By Kate Killet (CHARTattack) November 23, 2011 1:41 pm
Toronto rock 'n' rollers Zeus are back! Then again they never really went away. It seems that they’ve always been on the scene even before they dropped their 2010 debut LP Say Us with Canadian indie Arts & Crafts. Probably because the band members had been active for years in other outfits like The Golden Dogs and Paso Mino. When they’re not...

What do you get when you take one bunch of bearded hippies and put them on tour with another bunch of bearded hippies? No, not an explosion of fringe-covered jean jackets and bellbottoms (because that's obviously The Sheepdogs): you get the Sam Roberts Band and Zeus tour that's happening in October. It's a short jaunt, and the bands will hook up...

Belle And Sebastian Show Is A Stereotype-Busting Dance Party

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) October 13, 2010 3:04 pm
Could Torontonians finally have shed their reputation for being the equivalent of statues at shows? It certainly seems that way to me.I've seen a huge abundance of skanking, moshing, crowd surfing and now, outright dancing and gyrating at the last three shows I've covered for CHARTattack. Either the "Torontonians don't dance" thing is now...

Did you ever feel like there was an entire world locked inside your head, that nobody else understood? Maybe Zeus know how that feels. They have to contend with ninjas in the video for Say Us' "How Does It Feel?," which takes place in a forest in Mike O'Brien's head. Check out Zeus' video for "Marching Through Your...

In writing an unbiased review of the music at a Toronto Island Concert, one first needs to separate the venue from the bands. The event in itself is a lesson in tolerance and patience, both with other show-goers and with the festival's organizers. If you plan on drinking or eating, lineups will steal at least half of your day, and you'll...
