Zelita

From the Western suburbs of Brisbane, Zelita was first conceived by guitarist Daniel Hilder, bassist Andy Kellie and drummer Kiran Khosla in March of 2009. After a year of song writing and small performances, the trio recruited front-man Jimmy Wenham, whose unique vocals have sent a charismatic current coursing through Zelita's veins. Since the arrival of Jimmy, Zelita have released themselves to the public, playing gigs at Brisbane hotspots such as the Hi-Fi Bar, The Zoo and The New Globe Theatre. The band also made it to the Final of the Emergenza International Battle of the Bands Competition in 2011. Since then, Zelita have launched their debut EP - 'But His Vision He Kept’ (September 2012) recorded at 5 different locations around Brisbane (mainly the band member’s houses) and has play many shows across Brisbane and Gold Coast. Constrained by personal commitments, a couple of years passed with not much occurring, as drummer Kiran Kholsa made plans for a life overseas and quit the band at the beginning of 2014. With many songs still in the pipeline, Zelita needed a new drummer. Enter David “Double-Kick Dave” Hensler, whose hardcore/metal influence has added a new punchy flavour to the band’s songs. With a new drummer and new energy, Zelita entered the studio in March 2015 to record a second EP… "Zelita, a four-piece prog rock band that chew at the edges of conventional rock. Bassist Andrew Kellie moonlights on synth to add a haunting darkness to an already ballsy outfit." - Rave Magazine We're a new rock band based in Brisbane.
