Our friends from virtual band Zanilonia return and show up strong with “Close to the Bone,” a brand new Goth/Electronic Pop single and video just in time for Halloween.
Zanilonia has existed as a virtual outfit for an actual decade and was launched by keyboardist, vocalist, TV composer, and songwriter David Zee as a vehicle for Zee’s fiercely independent music making. No marketing firms or focus groups are involved in his creative process and that’s just the way he likes it. At various times, the group has featured the likes of drummer/percussionist Jim Brink, singer Cara Detwiler, singer/songwriter Kathleen Pemble, percussionist/electric violinist Derrik Jordan, well-known Australian singer Tara-Lynn Sharrock, and singer/songwriter/producer/DJ Rosebud.
