Zetas Empire
"Well crafted and melodic songs with more guts than a haggis shop"
Zetas Empire is a five piece alternative rock band which formed in Ayr, Scotland in 2006. Now based in Glasgow the line-up consists of Andy Akira MacLellan (vocals), Ben Davis (guitars, vocals), Roy Froude (guitars) Nick Campbell (bass) and Duggie Knight (drums). The band have been described as writing “well-crafted and melodic songs with more guts than a haggis shop”.

Meeting at university, the band started jamming together as a four-piece before asking singer-songwriter Akira to take up vocal duties a week before they played their first gig at Bloc+ in Glasgow. Since then they have gigged throughout Glasgow and Ayr enjoying great crowd responses and a few stage invasions. Each member brings their own musical backgrounds, tastes and styles to the band making the influences of the band an eclectic gathering of genres from metal to dance music and most in-between.

Having taken time out in 2008 to concentrate on University coursework the boys are back in 2009 with new material and the same raw live energy as before.

Currently, recording their first EP and working full-time jobs is taking up all the Zetas time but don't worry as the call of the stage is never far away.
