Bio
Founding member of Imperial Z, Dan Zacharias, honed his chops as a singer/songwriter playing in coffee shops and clubs in Boulder, Colorado while attending the University of Colorado.
After graduating, he moved to Los Angeles and formed Imperial Z with bassist Jeff Elmore, an LA studio musician, and drummer Dave Ward, from the electronic outfit Indicia (www.indiciamusic.net).
Imperial Z found a producer in Kanpai/Domo Records artist Appogee (www.appogeemusic.com), who is known for his experimental music as well as his remixes of indie sensation Bright Eyes and Japanese artist Kitaro.
Imperial Z has graced the stage of LA venues such as The Roxy, The Knitting Factory, The Cat Club, and The Sunset Room; as well as Club Congress in Tucson and The Elbo Room in Chicago.
The group caught the attention of LA station 95.5 KLOS who featured 4 of their songs on their "Local Licks" program.
Imperial Z's debut EP - Starz - is available on www.towerrecords.com and at the legendary Tower Records on the Sunset Strip, which featured Starz on a listening station.
The group performed at the Central NACA (www.naca.com) Convention in Arlington, Texas on Oct. 30, 2004.
Imperial Z did a radio campaign with Tinderbox (www.tinderboxmusic.com) in 2004.
Dan did a solo acoustic showcase for BMI (www.bmi.com) at Ghengis Cohen in Los Angeles on Jan. 17, 2005.
The music of Imperial Z will be featured in the soon-to-be-released movies “Cross Country” and “Another Part of Town”
