Hot Stuff: Zoé Ready For Their ‘Unplugged’ Debut!

By Michael Lopez

It’s hard to believe that Mexican rockers Zoé have been around for 14 years and are only now making their “Unplugged” debut. Since they first formed back in the ‘90s, León, Sergio, Alberto, Ángel, and Jesus have performed in front of thousands of fans, sold millions of records, and won tons of awards.

One of the keys to the band’s success has been their melding of so many unique musical styles. Part Brit-pop, part psychedelic, part indie rock, Zoé’s songs are heavily treasured by their ardent fanbase. The only issue is, why don’t they put out more?! Since their debut release back in 2002, Zoé has only issued three new studio albums.

That’s why fans are so excited about not only an “Unplugged” album with reworked classics, but new original songs added on as well! Recorded this Tuesday (October 5) in Mexico City, the performance is set to air sometime in early 2011. When speaking about the experience, singer León Larregui stated,

“Este unplugged es un reconocimiento a los fans y a toda la gente que nos ha apoyado a lo largo de toda nuestra carrera. Hemos tratado de llegar con cada versión a un punto que nos permita redescubrir éstas canciones y que al mismo tiempo nos llene de buenos recuerdos. Finalamente lo importante es darnos cuenta que estamos más conectados que nunca.”

Basically, this one’s for the fans! And you can bet A LOT will be listening. Though a full track list hasn’t been made “official” yet, we’re imagining acoustic renditions of “Paula”, “Reptilectric” and “Veneno” will all make it onto the album.
