Zoorama lives to play live--we'll play anywhere. Our favorite gig was our last one--opening act to a country music line-dancing festival.
Your musical influences
Start with Suicide, the Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, Television, add in the Talking Heads, REM, stir in a bit of James Brown and Parliament Funkadelic, don't forget a pinch of The Stooges, plenty of Modern Lovers, not to mention Leonard Cohen and Serge Gainsbourg...getting close? Nope!
