TBT: NZ Music

Posted on Thursday, 21 May 2015



Before there was Zedd there was Zed! The four piece pop/rock band formally known as Supra, formed while they were students way back in 1998 in Christchurch. Zed were originally Nathan, Ben, and Adrian but two years after they got together second guitarist Andrew was added to the lineup. Their first album 'Silencer' was released in 2000 and debuted at number one on the NZ album charts and quickly went on to go triple platinum. Their single 'Glorafilia' is a Kiwi classic, their other single 'Renegade Fighter' was also NZ's number one song in the year 2000. Zed's second and final album 'This Little Empire' was released in 2003 and re-released in 2004 for the United States, their most well known single overseas is most probably 'Starlight' which was featured in the credits of the 2002 comedy The Hot Chick. The band took a break ten years ago and have since only reunited to perform a handful of small gigs. Nathan went solo before singing for Paper Plane, Ben and Adrian formed a new band Atlas who disbanded in 2008, and Andrew is still working in music.
