Zen Guerrilla

Zen Guerrilla

Zen Guerrilla fue una banda de rock originaria de Newark, Delaware, Estados Unidos. Su música, en sus inicios, estaba marcada por elementos psicodélicos, pero fueron introduciendo influencias de otros estilos, como blues y gospel, creando un sonido que algunos han relacionado con la banda Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

El grupo se formó a finales de la década de 1980 en Newark, con Andy Duvall (batería), Marcus Durant (voz/armónica), Carl Horne (bajo), y Rich Millman (guitarra). Sacaron su primer disco bajo el nombre Zen Guerrilla en 1992, grabado en Filadelfia con Compulsiv Records. Poco después de esto se trasladaron a la ciudad de Filadelfia, donde actuaron en varios locales de ella y de alrededores, como Kyber Pass Pub. En 1994 se trasladaron a San Francisco. Antes de esto ya habían empezado una dura gira que les hizo recorrer todo su país, la cual casi no tuvo interrupción hasta finales de la década de los 1990. La continuidad de su gira y sus espectaculares y explosivos directos hicieron aumentar su popularidad, permitiéndoles fichar por Alternative Tentacles y más tarde por Sub Pop, famosa por ser la discográfica original de Nirvana. Finalmente en 2003 el grupo se separó dejando tras de si seis albums y cuatro EPs.
