Zeke came out of Seattle in the early 2000s as a quartet with Marky Felchtone on vocals and guitar, Kurt Bloch on bass, and Donny Paycheck on drums. They played a hard, heavy version of blues rock, with songs like '302 Cubic Inch V8 Powered Blues' and 'Galaxie 500' that sounded exactly like their titles suggest.
Their albums came out steadily, including 'Super Genius' in 2002 and 'Hellbender' a decade later. The core trio of Felchtone, Bloch, and Paycheck stayed together through some lineup shifts, with other guitarists like Jason Sears and Shaun Foster passing through.
Zeke's live shows were known for being loud and chaotic, with pyrotechnics and a general disregard for polish. They kept making records like 'Kicked in the Teeth' and 'Till the Livin' End' that stuck to their formula of fast, bluesy rock.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
