zoot suit

"Loud vulgar music your mother wouldn't approve of" is the phrase commonly used to describe the Oklahoma City based rock band Zoot Suit. Defining the band is hard to do; drawing influence from music of all genres, Zoot Suit has formed a sound that is always changing and evolving, with no two songs sounding alike. Despite this, their sound is unmistakable thanks to vocalist Tim Burgess' storytelling, which combines angst with humor and personal experiences to keep their songs threaded together no matter what genre they're playing. Although formed in 2013 by Burgess and guitarist LeeMychael Smith, Zoot Suit is fairly new to the local music scene. After a series of lineup changes and a hiatus early on, they hit the ground running with the addition of bassist Jack Mayou in April of 2015 and drummer Robby Andersen a few months later. Since then, they have been making a name for themselves in the Oklahoma City and Norman areas. Zoot Suit is currently recording their first full-length album which is expected to be released in the Fall of 2016. Directionless. Inquisitive. Without a pot to spit in.
