RED ZERO OPENS FOR KOOL KEITH AT FIREBIRD

New Band of Vets leads A Cornucopia of Frozen Food Section Favorites and Guests Opening for the Black Elvis, Blue Flower King

 

Saint Louis, MO, APRIL 6, 2011 -When Red Zero takes the stage this Wednesday, it will be with a slightly different lineup.

In post on his Facebook page two weeks before Christmas 2010, Original Sin (Z. Chansnoff) announced: "ADVERB SUPERB IS THE NEW EMCEE IN RED ZERO!"

"Man...it was an opportunity I could not pass up," said AddVerb/A. Dubs (D. Owens). "I was at one of [Red Zero's] shows and was sucked in by how they could get such thick, hip-hop beats from a live band--and still be a band.

AddVerb continued. "[DJ] Innovation (S. Lynch) and I talked after the set, with me just being open about how much I loved their sound. So, when I found out I was high on a short list of possible new members? I was in."

"It was a done deal once A. Dubs was on board," said Original Sin. "We all have other acts and projects that we are a part of, including him. Red Zero is different because lyrically we are trying to spark some critical thought, without beating you over the head with any mantra.

Andy (A. Wiedmann, Dub Kitchen), Chris (C. Williamson, Paul Staples and the Fire) and I love writing music that blends all kinds of influences into a nice little groove, that people can get lost in. But we also want anyone who's into us to look at the times, the political landscape, and anything else that only allows for black and white interpretations of modern existential issues, and say, 'wait a minute...'"

Original Sin continued. "I mean...the world is complicated, and we like exploring that fact over sweet beats. So when A. Dubs was like, 'I'm hella Old School, and I like to write lyrics that mean something,' we were like, 'Yes!'

 Red Zero opens for Kool Keith at Firebird ($15). Doors at 8pm, show begins at 9pm.

The Show also features Mathias, Jonathan Toth, and Dusty Wallets.

Firebird is St. Louis' premiere rock venue and event space, located at 2706 Olive, St. Louis, MO 63103.

Red Zero (founded 2010) is a cut-creation, dub poetry, and essay spittin’, live band, and it is a raw mashup of music and journalism: Original Sin (vox - The Spiders, Pandelerium), DJ Innovation (wax - Pandelerium, Mr. I), AddVerb Superb/A. Dubs (vox - InLimbo, Midwest Avengers,) Chris P. Williamson (drums - The Spiders, Paul Staples and the Fire), and Andy Wiedmann (guitar - Dub Kitchen). www.redzeroband.com
