"Giant surprise, we are lizards disguised & we're controlling your lives with trilateral spies." These are the unique lyrics sung by Sam Chown as he simultaneously whales away on his drum kit. Combined with the frantic synth playing and knob turning of Zac Traeger, the Austin based dyad Zorch is formed. Today, they introduce the video for their epicly zany tune "Zut Alors." Zorch brings so much energy and enthusiasm to their latest video, you'll forget that you're listening to a two man band.
"Zut Alors" is about american conspiracies, like lizard people infiltrating the gov't and our famous leaders" says Sam Chown. "Zut Alors" is one of the many standout tracks on their 2013 album ZZOORRCCHH, which is available courtesy of Sargent House. Zorch is a high-octane musical experience, which you must experience in-person. If you're looking for a great show to catch this summer, do yourself a favor and see them on tour. If you live near the Austin area, catch Zorch at the Fun Fun Fun festival this fall being headlined by Girl Talk, Wiz Khalifa, Death Cab For Cutie, and many more. Take a look at their tour dates and enjoy "Zut Alors" below.
