UKZ

Aaron Lippert, Trey Gunn, Eddie Jobson, Alex Machacek and Marco Minneman in the same band... To call this new band a supergroup would be a severe understatment.

After a 27-year hiatus from band touring and recording, Frank Zappa and Roxy Music alum/UK co-founder Eddie Jobson returns with UKZ and Radiation, a CD-EP to coincide with the group's January 24, 2009 "One City World Tour" New York show. A logical extension/evolution of UK's progressive rock leanings, the highly anticipated UKZ is an all-new line-up of artists known and unknown that demonstrates remarkable chemistry for a group still in its early days. Radiation is a powerful first salvo—20 minutes recalling UK's compositional complexity, but also blending in Power to Believe-era King Crimson's Nuevo Metal and a touch of Nine Inch Nails' industrial saturation. No retro-prog this; UKZ is progressive rock for the new millennium.
