Blue Zoo emerged from the post-punk Blitz scene that defined the early 80's brandishing their glam influences with pride and shared with us a uniquely eclectic new wave/pop repertoire. A live act full of showmanship and brash-flash attitude saw them as forerunners to a number of bands, including Suede, Mansun and Republica in the 90's. Fast forward to today and gone is the once marketable pretty boy band image; instead enter the edgy, sexy, wild yet mature sound of four men that do not owe anyone in the music industry an apology. Blue Zoo showing the music industry how it should be done! The unique, robust sound and energy of the band was immediately in demand with sell out gigs in and around London venues such as The Marquee, The Moonlight and The Greyhound. They played at numerous polytechnics and universities up and down the country and even found themselves supporting U2, TWICE!! They themselves were supported by artists such as Howard Jones & headlined with The Associates. Magnet Records signed the band in 1981 where three hit records ensued; Cry Boy Cry reaching number thirteen in the charts, Forgive & Forget and I'm Your Man. They released their album 2×2 in 1982 with an eclectic collection of songs which have stood the test of time and still drive a resounding response from audiences today.
