Zuul's Evil Disco

TORONTO - Have you ever had a friend
that would just not respect your reasons for not wanting
to go out on a Saturday night?? Well, that such friend spent
the better part of last Saturday night trying to convince
me that I should iron out my social wrinkles and join him
to witness ëZuulís Evil Discoí. Now, I have never been accused
of judging a book by itsí cover, but ZUULíS EVIL DISCO??
I could already feel my lack of patience 3 hours before
the show.
Nevertheless, the Queen St. charm summoned me to Horseshoe
Tavern for a night I had already mentally written off. I
paid my cover with uneasiness and entered the world of...and
I mean the distinct world of Zuulís Evil Disco.
This is a group of crazy performers that are sure to catch
your eye, entertain you, and make you groove! Toronto is
saturated with live band performances during the summer
months, and those who have room for one more show in them,
should check out one of the most energetic and unique bands
to come out of the independent scene in years.
Using that clever mix of Öeverything the 8 piece band surfed
through a 10 song set of music, capturing such a broad variety
of musical genre and mastering experimental challenges.
There is nothing more refreshing than seeing a band that
is organized, well rehearsed, yet amazingly fresh. This
must be a result of the mosaic of the band; 7 people, all
different races, all different backgrounds and making music
from there common University ground of London, Ontario.
The separate characters of the group all come together to
truly make it happen. If you are a person who enjoys the
refreshing change of music that does not need to be categorized
to be enjoyed, please take the time to go check out this
magnificent human ball of energy, and you'll thank me as
I did my friend after the show.
Final notes; I think Ajay Massey (band member) might be
one of the most talented guitarists I have seen live, and
Prince is possibly one of the best break dancers to rock
the mic. Zuul's represents some of the finest in the fusion
of funk, soul, alternative, jazz and old school in the indie
scene. Check out up and coming gigs at www.zuulsevildisco.com
