- Java Magazine, Jul 2012
“Turns a guitar-based approach on its head, with sexy grooves and downtempo beats.”

Zero Zero is an electro-fuzz band created by singer/keyboardist Nicole Laurenne, guitarist Michael Johnny Walker, and drummer Nick Ramirez. With influences including Sleigh Bells, The Sneaker Pimps, Santigold, Beck, Magic Wands and the Ting Tings, Zero Zero had an early demo of the single "Drug" go into regular rotation on Phoenix radio unexpectedly in June 2012 when Laurenne gave the demo to a disc jockey during a live interview. The demo soon began spinning regularly on commercial specialty radio shows out of San Francisco, Boise, Phoenix, and Berlin.
Zero Zero’s self-produced debut album, MAYDAY, was released on October 5, 2012, on limited-edition collector’s flip drives and digital downloads, by Atomic A Go Go Records. Within one month of the band’s debut live show, Zero Zero shared the stage with Karmin, Magic Wands, A Silent Film, and Roger Clyne, and also was featured in headliner slots at Apache Lake Music Festival and The Hard Rock Café’s Pinktober benefit concert. In 2013, Zero Zero plans to tour selected cities in the US, Europe, and Japan, and will begin work on a second record.
As the team behind garage rock act The Love Me Nots, Laurenne and Walker have written and released five albums, toured Europe several times, appeared in feature stories in Rolling Stone, Spin, and Village Voice among many others, are currently in regular rotation on Sirius/XM Radio, and saw their entire discography re-released by french label Bad Reputation Records. Laurenne was named Best Frontperson of 2010 by The Arizona Republic and Walker was featured in Fender’s The Soul of Tone video.
