Zoé Biography

Guitarist Sergio Acosta, singer León Larregui, and drummer Alberto Cabrera assembled Latin alternative pop/rock outfit Zoé in 1995. A year later, they were joined by keyboardist Jesús Báez and bassist Angel Mosqueda. After playing Mexico City’s club circuit, Zoé recorded their first original songs, “Asteroide” and “Tarántula.” In addition, the group contributed the song “Razor Blade” to a local compilation titled Poetas, Músicos y Locos. From March 2000 through January 2001, the Mexican band worked on its debut album, teaming up with Saúl Hernández from Jaguares, Juan Sebastian Lach and Alejandro Otaola from Santa Sabina, and Federico Fong from la Barranca. That first record was mixed in London by producer Phil Vinall.
