Zebra Junction
ZEBRA JUNCTION IS A POWER DUO OF SEXTET PROPORTIONS
Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Shawn ìFlitz Alanî Palmer & Micah Lundy are currently wrapping up their third album, and planning American and European tours for early 2008.
Working with a collection of rare, hybrid and homespun instruments, this power duo’s Vaudeville approach includes “creative” percussion, baritone guitars, and such unconventional instruments as the banjo-ukulele, a hyper-modified Playskool tape deck used for “scratch”, toy piano, and numerous samplers and effects to morph “old school” into “no school”.
If Tom Waits fronted the White Stripes with a smattering of Radiohead technology, you might have a sound like Zebra Junction!
The Summer of 2007 saw ZJ playing in front of sold out crowds at the world famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Denver’s prestigious Paramount Theatre, as well as being nominated for the third time as one of Denver’s best bands.

IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN YOU WILL HEAR
Zebra Junction, both live and in the studio, melds together a deeply eclectic group of styles. They seamlessly move from funked-up bluegrass to drunken Tin Pan Alley ragtime; from the Celtic sounds of a whaling ship, to colorful electronic grooves, to effortless harmonies. This gutsy-rootsy, high energy power duo, with their creativity and unique repertoire, conjures up a fresh experience that takes the listener from living room to amphitheater. All aboard!
