[edit] History
(Taken from official website): Founded by three former members of the groundbreaking Boston band Think Tree, Count Zero recorded their debut CD "Affluenza" in 1996. With the addition of a full-time bassist and keyboardist, they played their first show in March of '96 at The Middle East in Cambridge, MA, and have been entertaining an expanding congregation of devoted fans ever since.
[edit] Sound
Count Zero describes their sound as "an obsessively creative mashing of many classic and modern styles of popular music......from retro-groove to indie-rock to electronic pop to country twang. Raw sounds intermingle with lush Radiohead-esque orchestrations and unexpected sound/sample manipulations, affording a unique listening experience known for grabbing even the most jaded ears......combines the flair for melody and complexity of The Flaming Lips and later Blur, the brains of Talking Heads/Brian Eno and the raw power of Zeppelin and Sly Stone."
[edit] Recent events
Count Zero toured with The Dresden Dolls in 2004. In 2005, they released Little Minds, which includes the song "Sail Your Ship By", featured in the PlayStation 2 game Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero II also includes "Radium Eyes," which is now available as a digital single on iTunes. The band's popularity is increasing as a result of appearing on said video-games.
