Biografie

Zs was formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 2000. Zs makes music that is variously categorized as no-wave, post-jazz, brutal-chamber, brutal-prog, and post minimalist. Zs' music is angular, repetitive, and either very loud or very soft. While Zs has gone through several incarnations ranging from trios to sextets, the group is now solidifying into the quartet formation of Sam Hillmer (tenor saxophone), Ben Greenberg (electric guitar), Amnon Freidlin (electric guitar), and Ian Antonio (drum set). Zs is often recognized for its dual function as chamber ensemble and rock band. As a result of their cross-over ability Zs has worked with a diverse roster of performers and composers. Zs has worked with Animal Collective, Gang Gang Dance, Orthrelm, The Flying Luttenbachers, and Big A little a (Aa), as well as Joe Maneri, Christian Wolff, Louis Andriessen, and Petr Kotik. Zs also inhabits a diverse assortment of venues including lofts, galleries, rock clubs, and concert halls. Zs has recorded for labels Troubleman unlimited, Planaria Recordings, Folding Cassettes, Rice control, and The Social Registry. The members of Zs are also involved in a number of other projects including Seductive Sprigs, Extra Life, Moth, Regattas, Hunter-Gatherer, Yarn/Wire, and the Scenery Ensemble. Zs curate and DJ the monthly avantgarde music and art party "from B to Z" under the moniker "the B-Keepers". The activities of "the B-Keepers" as well as all Zs side projects is being documented by Zs' in-house CDR label FuckingA Show Releases.
