It all starts with the ringleader...
Vocalist Paulie Z channels the soaring vocal power of Freddie Mercury, commanding the stage. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, he led his own band ZO2 through a tour with rock heavyweights KISS and Poison, a band which was also chronicled in the IFC comedy series “Z Rock.” Upon moving to Los Angeles, Paulie was also recruited to sing another legendary catalog with UK glam rockers Sweet.
The amps get cranked...
Guitarist Steve Zukowsky, a finalist for the guitar position in the official Queen tribute band Queen Extravaganza, locks in the crunch and harmonies of Brian May. Veteran tribute band royalty, Steve mastered the classic rock greats over a career delivering note-for-note guitar parts of Queen (Sheer Heart Attack), Led Zeppelin (Led Zepagain, Zeppelin USA, Acoustic Graffiti), Pink Floyd (Which One's Pink?), Heart (Dog N Butterfly), The Rolling Stones and David Bowie (Windborne).
A steady, driving beat...
After wowing his native Buffalo, drummer Glenn Jost took New York City by storm where he pounded the drums down in the village while working for renowned Grammy-winning engineer Bob Ludwig. Moving to Los Angeles, Glenn carved a niche in an eclectic run of projects, playing at the Playboy Jazz Festival, drumming for the house band on FOX's hit TV Series “Ally McBeal,” performing with the original members of Broadway hit “Dreamgirls,” and bringing his skills to the comedy world with veterans like Robin Williams (Improv All-Stars) and albums with “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”'s Laura Hall.
The grooves get thumping...
Canadian-born bassist Aaron Samson grew up in Los Angeles with the music bug, quickly landing himself on the legendary RCA Records roster and the classic documentary “The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years.” A protege of legendary composer David Foster, Aaron would go on to play with various LA bands as well as rock heroes like George Lynch (Dokken) and Steven Adler (Guns 'N Roses) and John 5 (David Lee Roth, Marilyn Manson).
All accented with shades of melody...
Keyboardist Victor Bender began his musical life playing the clubs of Colombia at night while assisting at the studio of prominent label Fuentes Records and crafting demos for artists including pop sensation Juanes on Universal Records. Moving to Los Angeles, Victor formed Bender Post and dove into campaigns for major national brands (Coca-Cola, Samsung, Nordstrom, Dawn) and TV and movie studios (Disney, Paramount, Netflix, Sony, Universal, FOX). He already had Queen's catalog down stone cold, playing the keys in Sheer Heart Attack.
