Zallen is a one man band project headed by Michael Jones.
Band/artist history
At the age of fifteen Michael co-formed a band by the name of EULOGY with RUSTY ANDERSON (formerly of EDNASWAP. Composers of the #1 hit "Torn.") Eulogy won the battle of the bands at the PASADENA CIVIC AUDITORIUM producing a song "WHEN YOUR YOUNG" for KNAC radio. The band was featured on a KNAC radio show spot with QUEEN. After EULOGY, Michael formed a new band called ECLIPSE and continued to tour and play packed high schools and college stadiums with his flamboyant stage antics. Michael, Daniel Van Patten, Chris Velasco formed a new band called ZICKO GLICK, an early incarnation of what eventually became BERLIN (SEX I'M A..., TAKE MY BREATH AWAY and numerous other hits). Daniel went on to produce the first BERLIN album. Michael recorded, produced and performed an independent release with BILLY PAUL under the band name BOZART in the late 80's, garnering him attention from PRINCE’S label PAISELY PARK and producers of JANET JACKSON, TERRY LEWIS and JIMMY JAM. Michael's band CRYIN OUT LOUD co-formed with his friend STEVE ZDROIK was picked band of the month by KLOS radio and the song "THIS CITY" and "HANDGUNS AND HOME SURVIVAL" were featured on the LOCAL LICKS program. The song "THIS CITY” was featured in the film "NATURE OF THE BEAST," staring ERIC ROBERTS and LANCE HENRIKSEN and directed by VICTOR SALVA (POWDER, RITES OF PASSAGE). ZALLEN was formed as a one-man band. Michael has built a digital home studio, and records and plays all instruments. The idea being that he would just get started with the project on his own and add people later. He has released his first CD on the mp3.com website titled "I LIVE IN A BOX." It currently has 9 songs in the top 100 Psychedelic and Glam charts on mp3. The song "RUFFLED FEATHERS" features Michael's friend JEREMY KASTEN on harmonica, movie director of the soon to be released psychological thriller "THE ATTIC EXPEDITIONS" starring SETH GREEN. Michael has also written numerous jingles, and instrumental tracks, and is an accomplished painter, specializing in Surrealistic, and Photo realistic works of art. Michael has just released a new CD "MooK" on MP3.com.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I have played live since I was about 15 years old. Since this is a solo project, and I am still in between bands I have not played live for awhile now. This is kinda like an Alan Parsons Project I guess. Strictly studio. LA musicians if your interested in the music, send me an email.
