Zeus is a Toronto-based Canadian indie rock band, signed to the record label Arts & Crafts, whose members include Mike O'Brien, Carlin Nicholson, Rob Drake and Neil Quin. Along with Afie Jurvanen (Paso Mino, Bahamas), they formed Jason Collett's back-up band Dark Horse[1] for many years before recording under the name Zeus. Their debut EP Sounds like Zeus was released by Arts & Crafts in June 2009,[2] and includes a cover of the Genesis song "That's All".[3] The band's debut album, Say Us, was released February 23, 2010.[4] A vinyl LP was released two weeks ahead of the CD release.[5] In March 2010, the band performed at the world renowned SxSW Music Festival with long-time collaborators Jason Collett and Bahamas. [6]
O'Brien and Nicholson were childhood friends in Barrie, Ontario,[7] and played in one another's first bands along with Afie Jurvanen. When Afie was recruited by producer Howie Beck to play guitar for Jason Collett, Afie brought along his friends, who had learned all of Collett's album Idols of Exile before their audition. Jurvanen describes Zeus as sounding like the Band behind Collett, and sounding like Crazy Horse behind Bahamas.
