Celluloid Shenanigans

Wizards of OZhp -

We're back! And while our upcoming "NWT" music video doesn't involve a tornado or a dog named Toto, we do have a peek behind the curtain during the "making of"...which also includes a disgruntled man in green. Click the images below to watch the first two behind-the-scenes web-docs.

Looking back on the Fourth -

Oh say, can you hear? It's not the sound of bombs bursting in air, but us turning back the clock. We'd like to celebrate July 4th with you by revisiting a retro performance - when Francis Scott Key met The ZHP. Click the image below to gallantly stream our unique rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.

The Finish Line

June came and went without an update from us and it's not because we forgot about you. The three of us along with the folks at Silver-Lined Entertainment were hard at work on the "NWT" music video and we're delighted to announce that it is now completed! Now comes the bad news: because we're unable to show the video until it's debut at the Sacramento Film & Music Festival, you'll have to do some waiting. We'll toss a few scraps your way between now and then to keep you from starving. Hang in there!

Thanks for taking the time to get caught up with us. Feel free to reciprocate and let us know how YOU are! As always, our inbox is open to you: info[at]thezhp[dot]com

We hope you have a fun and safe Independence Day,

Zoo in bloom

Do we hear bees? -

Nope, that's just YOU making a buzz! The ZHP was currently nominated for the KCRA 3 A-list Contest held by the local Sacramento news station. We're steadily climbing the "Local Bands" ladder but could use a little boost to reach the top. A few teensy mouse-clicks from you can go a long way! While you're buzzing about, feel free to pollinate some votes in support of other local artists and businesses. Voting ends on May 20th, so don't waste another minute and please click the A-list banner now!

Good thing we're not Radio Stars

...otherwise, the recent shoot for the "NWT" video would've killed us! As you can see by watching the recent behind-the-scenes footage created by Silver-Lined Entertainment, we're still breathing and as goofy as ever! Click the image below if you don't believe us or if you simply want a sneak peek at the upcoming masterpiece.

We hope you enjoyed the Update Lite. Thanks, in advance, for your A-list vote and for taking the time to get caught up with us. We'd like to know what's on your mind, so please zap us an email: info[at]thezhp[dot]com

Best, Derek ~ Jen ~ Kevin

Had to be there

Three course meal -

Did you miss it, y'all?! We played at A'roma Roasters on April 24th and provided the Santa Rosa locals with a hefty helping of hearty tunes and filling fun. We bottled up the experience in some bite-sized portions and posted 'em right here.

Here's the menu:
* UN-appetizer - The original Zoo Maniac delivers a surprise for Kevin.
* Main Course - Sam Cooke's "What a Wonderful World" by The ZHP

* Dessert - Post-gig, parking lot jam: "Can't Help Falling in Love"

Never Woulda Thunk

Your ZHP spent this past Saturday being their silly selves on Day 1 of the "NWT" video shoot. Our next update will bring you a lil' behind the scenes. Stay-tuned!

Upcoming Shows

May, 14 2010 08:30 PM - Naked Lounge
1111 H Street, Sacramento, California 95814 - $5.00
w/ other acts TBA

Ain't no foolin'

So real you can see it -

Howdy there! Hope you fared better than we did at the start of this month. We opened up April on the receiving end of a few Foolish fast ones. So, when Silver-Lined Entertainment approached us with a music video proposal, we weren't gonna fall for it.

This is our new blog.

Nothing to say today. Just testing things out.
