From the deep of Bulwai Country in Kuranda, Far North Queensland, emerges the new future of Australian roots and Indigenous music – Zennith.
Zennith is a core group of five Kuranda musicians, Aden Brim (Songwriter/Lead Singer), Astro Brim (Percussion & Vocals), Isaac Crowley (Bass), Lindsay Snider (Drums/Didge/Rap Vox) and backing by Willie Brim (Keys & Vocals).
Over the past year the five-piece has built up hyped local support thanks to their high-energy rhythms and rhymes. And now that hype is set to spread throughout Australia and abroad in 2009.
2008 saw Zennith blow away audiences at the Woodford Folk Festival, Island Vibe Festival, Kuranda Roots, The Dreaming and The Spirit Festival just to name a few. They were finalists in the 2008 Q Song Awards and invited to showcase at The BIGSOUND Music Industry Summit.
Yet it was their acclaimed performance at the inaugural Australasian World Music Expo in Melbourne that set the tongues wagging and wheels in motion for a huge 2009. Since that showcase, the band has been overwhelmed by invitations to perform around the world, from New Zealand to the USA and Europe.
The band’s recent EP ‘We Like It’ is full of uplifting and positive messages and a fresh fusion of hip-hop, roots, soul and reggae. The band is currently working on its second album, set for release late 2009.
In the meantime, Zennith are doing what they do best – ripping up venues and festivals across the country and leaving audiences rapturous in their wake.
