NEW YORK (Zo2 Official Website) - The Brooklyn-based rock trio ZO2 has been named as the opening act for the eagerly anticipated KISS and
Poison tour in summer 2004. KISS has always fearlessly taken hot up-and-coming acts on the road with them as openers often rocketing those artists to success, and ZO2 is the latest in that long, distinguished line of bands. ZO2 will be out promoting their dazzling debut album "Tuesdays & Thursdays" independently released on their own Splivey Cool Entertainment Inc. label.
"We all grew up idolizing KISS, so this tour is a dream come true for us," says Paulie Z. "There are tapes of
David and I as kids singing and playing their classic 'Alive' album."
ZO2 features brothers Paulie Z (vocals, guitar) and David Z (vocals, bass guitar) and Joey Cassata (drums). David has served as the longtime bass guitarist for the East Coast touring company of the holiday favorite Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Joey was an understudy with the Blue Man Group's Las Vegas-based company.
The 12 songs on the album include: "Takin' Me Down," "Temptation," "Living Now," "Dirty Water," "Radio," "Fly on Your Wings," "Breakdown," "Liar," "Paper Breakup," "Wait," "Head Up," and "Sweet Lover."
