[ATTENDED: March 20, 2026] Zeta
I’ve been a big fan of Zeta since I encountered them about 3 years ago. I’ve now seen them 4 times and they never disappoint. This was a tour for their tenth year of touring the US (when they left Venezuela). I spoke to drummer Chino (who is their merch guy too) and said I was impressed that they were doing this for ten years and he said, they’d been touring the US for ten years but they’ve been a band since 2003 (which by my calculation, means he started the band when he was 13).
My son came with me to their previous headline show and really liked them. This time I didn’t get him a ticket because we were going to Hanabie the next night. But his plans changed and he wanted to come with me to this show, which was awesome.
By the time Zeta went on, the crowd had filled in somewhat (but, oof, what a large venue to have about 50 people show up). Despite the small crowd, the band put on a killer show.
But the first surprise was that they were playing as a trio. After a song, Bassist Antonio Pereira told us that Dani (their exciting guitarist/keyboardist) was staying in Venezuela because of the new T**** immigration policies. Fuck, man, that guy ruins everything. So, that meant the band had to redesign their songs for the stage without their most versatile member. (more…)
