BIO

REPLICAS is the musical project of Geoff Zalot with Steven H. Geoff grew up in the barren, lifeless Sonoran Desert of Phoenix while Steven grew up in the stark Tri-Cities area of Washington. They have both lived in Tacoma’s Lincoln District for the past many years.

The music is bass-driven, dark and moody, featuring the cold pulse of electronic drum machine rhythms while synths and guitar inhale and exhale in controlled synchronization. Restrained vocals fear to reveal the current of emotion beneath the audible. The lyrics refuse to allow you to sink below the surface of despair with no hope of a return to the light. Together, this is a darkness shining out of the gloom to burn the shadows from your soul. While sounding like none of them, Replicas evokes an essence common to PiL’s ‘Second Edition,’ The Cure’s ‘Seventeen Seconds’ and Tones on Tail’s earliest releases.

TECH RIDER

There are two people in the band.
Two synths, a drum machine, and vocals (which first route through our external effects) route through our mixer, reducing seven inputs (six 1/4", one XLR) to two XLR outputs to the House. In addition to those two XLR outs, we have an XLR DI from the bass head, and one guitar amp with two 1/4" (L/R) DI outputs, for a total of three XLR and two 1/4" outputs from the band to the House board. Alternatively, bass and guitar cabs can be mic'd.
We have our own vocal mic/stand.
We need two monitors, one for each band member, each with a full mix.
We would like to project video if the venue has projection facilities. We can provide a USB drive, SD card, or laptop with HDMI output.
We prefer to load onto the stage only once. If the venue's policy is to load on for sound check, completely unload (rather than backline), and then load back on for our set, we prefer to forego the sound check, load on, and take a line check in lieu of a sound check.
