+ LOS ANGELES RELEASE SHOW TONIGHT AT THE MOROCCAN

LISTEN TO JUST A LITTLE BIT + THE GHETTO STARSHIP DOUBLE EP: HERE

"With its distorted vocals, wah-wah drench guitars, and gospel backing vocals, the track sounds like Saul Williams teaming up with the Heavy being produced by Danger Mouse.” - Surviving the Golden Age

"This band knows how to craft a funky jam that gets a crowd dancing like they’re spinning inside invisible, electrified hula-hoops." - Buzzbands LA

Los Angeles band Zooluxx have released their heady double EP with their newest five-song offering Just A Little Bit on the A-Side and their debut EP The Ghetto Starship on the B-Side, out today on Blind Owl Records. The five-song EP was produced by Howlin Rain guitarist and Blind Owl owner Dan Cervantes, with Jordan Andreen engineering at Audio Design Recording and Joe Bozzi mastering at Bernie Grundman Mastering. The Ghetto Starship, released digitally last year, was produced by renowned saxophonist Karl Denson (The Rolling Stones, Lenny Kravitz, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe). The band found a champion in Denson after opening for him in LA. Denson then took them under his wing to produce The Ghetto Starship recording to analog tape on Lynyrd Skynyrd's old API console in San Diego. The careful attention to the recording process and affinity for analog recording are no accident for Zooluxx whose influences range from 1960s rock & roll, electric blues, Parliament-Funkadelic, Curtis Mayfield, and Afrobeat. Their intention is to make spontaneous dance music rooted in grooves and guitars, both modern in its explosively eclectic approach and proudly old-school in its reverence for analog sound.

The five new songs on the A-side of starts off with the “Golden Gun Blues,” a song about trading lies for truth, thick with blues guitar riffs and harmonica. The title track “Just a Little Bit,” released as a single earlier this month, sets the overall tone for the EP with its spacey groove and lyrics that ruminate on greed and the insatiable nature of our society. “Honing their live show as the Monday residents at Hollywood’s Good Times at Davey Wayne’s for five years, you can surmise they’ve seen a lot,” said Buzzbands LA on their review of “Just a Little Bit.” “This latest track could be about some of that. And it could be about anywhere where there is a struggle and a bit of vice lurking in the surroundings.” The EP is rounded out by the frenetic “Brown Boogie,” with searing guitars and lyrics, driving listeners to “Do your thing. Do what you do! Get around, you gotta move! May not dance as well as you! Gotta feel, you know the real!,” the 17-second instrumental interlude “Mignon,” and the psychedelic “Berties Paradise '' that showcases the band’s Afrobeat and Latin influences.

“These days, we should find our similarities with strangers rather than focus on our differences. What better way to bridge the divide than with raw, unadulterated funk?” - Grimy Goods

Zooluxx will be playing a co-headlining release show tonight at the Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles with Santa Cruz’s 7Come11 who have a new single, “The Moon,” out today. Both bands will head to Santa Cruz playing Urbani Cellars on Saturday, February 1.
