No Zu Cover Talking to a Stranger
I’m just going to come out and say this, I had absolutely no idea who Hunters & Collectors were until I heard this No Zu cover, so I’m going to go back and remedy that before this day is up. But, for you, maybe you’re new too, so why not go back in time by visiting one of my current faves, No Zu. This video is live footage, with a recorded version of the song; you can see just how much the band has going on; it’s visually intoxicating in and of itself. Their recording takes the sort of post-punk style, hangs it up and seems to infuse a bit more of a funk aspect and swagger, turning it into an all out dance party you wish we could attend. This track comes out as a digital Double A-Side single, with a cover of “Sensation” by Bryan Ferry also featured…all courtesy of Chapter Music.
I’ve seen No Zu play many times over the years and I just love their attitude, their writhing hypnotic on stage movement and the sound – that unique No Zu sound that just takes you by the throat and spits you out. Talking to a stranger is nothing less than a triumph.
How about a ZZ Top cover of Viva Ls Vegas?
