The name Zeugma refers to the ancient Byazatine city on the Tiber River which is currently under threat from a hyro-electric stream. The parallels were too obvious to ignore. As with all new bands Zeugma was to discover it is a long way to the top if you want to rock n'roll. But conversely it didn't take long to discover that there are such things as a free lunch when the corporate nasties of the caf world, Caf Bella, cancelled a gig 5 minutes before it started and conscious driven compensated the devastated band with free food. To describe the music of Zeugma is a bit like trying to define space and time.
Zeugma write most of their songs and the themes are many and varied.
Perhaps the only way to truly appreciate Zeugma is to see them live. A regular prescence at Nirvana Blues and Jazz Lounge in Darwin, their performances are becoming legendary. The future of Zeugma may be only a short one. At the end of the year the various members will be disseminating across the nation. Like a flaming meteorite across the night sky so to will Zeugma shine brightly oh so briefly before being reduced a distant but profound expereince.
