Now, let’s be honest. Being an outright music lover or not, most of the time it’s like this, isn’t it? You’re standing there, waiting for one of your favourite bands finally to come out and play and what do you have to bear? Some nondescript band whose name you’ve never even heard before and you probably never will after that evening. Eventually, you end up biding the time they’ll finally get off stage by, if you’re one of the rather polite bunch of people, applauding politely and trying not to look too bored. But gladly, so very glady, there are exceptions. And Zaza is a very prominent one of them. From their first minute on stage in Hamburg I felt that there’s something that drags you into their world of slightly dark, sultry, music and that won’t let you go easily. Borrowing a line from the band they’re currently supporting on their tour, you could say with Zaza there’s no easy way out. The band’s compiled of the highly charismatic couple Jennifer Fraser (bass, vocals) and Danny Taylor (guitar, vocals), two musicians that found each other and nowadays live and work in New York. Their creative output is completed by Dru Prentiss, who finds himself in charge of adding maybe minimalistic, but very intense drums to the spheric guitar, bass and keyboard sounds that will take you on the magical Zaza ride.
As you might have guessed, it’s them opening up for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club in Amsterdam that night, so that I find myself talking to the band’s charming front woman Jennifer, who lifts some secrets about her band, which has become, as she says, her child.
