ZallaNayver
Two grown men that should know better.
It all just started as a jam, no master plan for global fame and fortune (there still isn't), I think we were both taken aback by what we produced. We find it so difficult to put our music in any particular genre, intrumental with vocals, ambient with loud bits, dance but not disco, rock but not too many loud guitars ... you tell us...
Check out www.myspace.com/zallanayver and all of the other independant music sites, if we arn't on there yet it won't be long.
The debut CD 'Searching For Random' is now on sale at www.imusicstage.com or CD Baby
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Andrew Biscoe and James Boyle first met in 1991 when they worked together in the arts sharing a passion for listening and writing music. Andrew had a particular flare for writing ambient style rock, James brought a groove from the hip hop genre and they met somewhere in the middle. In 2001 having produced some pieces together for a contemporary dance company and a short film they decided to create an album blending their two styles. The result was ZallaNayvers - Searching for Random, a journey into the murky world of feelings. Reviews of the album suggest an absorbing mix of electronica and rock (wires and wood) in a down tempo style with soulful vocals adding to the rich tapestry of their sound. Having built up a strong following on myspace they decided to release their album in the Summer of 2006.
