ZED, brand new four piece from Logan Square, performs its first full live set tonight. Featuring VEE DEE wunderkind and man about town Nick D'Vyne, the two-guitar quartet is comprised of vets of Chicago punk, psych and garage scenes (Vee Dee, Chicago Stone Lightning Band, The Tax, The Brides, Plastic Crimewave Sound to name a few). They've raided the record collections of your hip older cousin and your not-so-hip deadbeat uncle and come up with something special. Sometimes it's like Television playing Blue Cheer, or a mod band trying to keep the patrons from rioting at a biker bar, or a 1970s German revolutionary rock collective. It's a ramshackle rock 'n' roll steamroller the boys operate; laying down sticky asphalt proto-punk and metal riffs with a bluesy, buzzed groove. Come and get flattened.
