Zombi is an American synthwave duo from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, consisting of Steve Moore on bass and synthesizers and Anthony Paterra on drums.[6] The group makes use of looping to create multi-layered compositions. They have toured with Don Caballero, Isis, Orthrelm, The Psychic Paramount, Daughters, Red Sparowes, These Arms Are Snakes, Trans Am, and Goblin.[7]
They are currently signed to Relapse Records. In 2006, the band signed with Belgian record label Hypertension Records to release Surface to Air on vinyl.[8]
Moore was previously a member of Microwaves, a metal/no-wave band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and has toured with Red Sparowes. Paterra is a former member of the Pittsburgh band The 1985.
Their song "Sapphire" was remixed by Norwegian DJ/producer Prins Thomas.[6]
Zombi's musical style was influenced by film score composers John Carpenter and Goblin, electronic music artists Tangerine Dream and Vangelis, and progressive rock bands King Crimson and Genesis.[9] 2011's Escape Velocity showed influence from Italo-disco and Krautrock.[9] Following their 2013 tour with Goblin, Zombi's style became more rock-oriented for their following releases.[9] The band takes its name from the Italian title of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (Zombi).[10]
The group will be joined by Zombi, the progressive electronic duo from Pittsburgh.
