ZAO has checked in with the following update about performing an upcoming live show and writing new material:

“We are playing a show in Pittsburgh PA on July 2nd at a place called Altar Bar. We being Dan, Scott, Russ, Marty and Jeff. It may be the only show we do this year, it may not (don’t read anything into that).

“We are still writing, we may have something special planned for the show, we may not (don’t read too much into that). More details as they come.

“If you want to stalk us we have been doing the Facebook thing and the Twitter thing until we get our official site built (which may be being built by original Zao guitarist Roy Goudy of all people).

“We try to answer as many questions that pop up on Facebook as possible (and all 5 of us are on there running it) but the odds of you getting added on our personal pages are slim (unless we know you in real life, trust us, you’re not missing anything, just Jeff bitching about other bands and Marty posting Yes videos).”
