Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist are an progressive instrumental trio that create their own breed of visceral music, rooted in jazz and heavy metal. Since their inception in 2011, they have been playing shows across the country, honing their sound and developing a small but supportive cult following.

‘Somewhere in between Bill Evans and Meshuggah’

Dead Hedge Trio have melded sounds from jazz, psychedelic rock and Afro-beat to create a sordid, fizzing, squeaking yet palatably groovy aesthetic. The improvised aspects of the performance provide a rough punky edge, while their musicianship and creativity deliver a satisfying jazzy depth.

In carving out this odyssey, DEAD HEDGE TRIO were initially recognised around their home base of Liverpool as the arresting in-house-band at the (now sadly defunct but nevertheless) indispensable city centre jazz café Mello Mello. From these roots in the eclectic and richly diverse Ropewalks crowd of creators, DEAD HEDGE came out of the basement and onto the stage alongside formidable touring acts and peers, such as Polar Bear, Roller Trio, Shatner's Bassoon, Marshall Allen of Sun Ra Arkestra, Alabaster De Plume's Copernicus Trio, Azores, The Weave, and Shiver.
