MUSEX FI NEWS - JANUARY 2010

Artist of the Month: Zebra & Snake

 
 
 

This Helsinki-based duo seamlessly fuses the sweet hurting of pop with the ecstasy of dance.

Matti Ahopelto's (bass, drum machine, vocals) and Tapio Viitasaari's (synthesizers, vocals) backgrounds include everything from classical piano and church music to commercial sound design. The band was born out of a social visit and a clear inevitability in 2007. The result is a sound that references many of the non-embarrassing corners of the 1980s. They've been setting the blogosphere on fire ever since and have released a 7" on the custom imprint of the coolest club night in Helsinki, MISF*TS.
