ZACHARIAH & The LOBOS RIDERS
www.zachariahmusic.com Myspace Page
Los Angeles based Country-rockers Zachariah & the Lobos Riders take honky-tonk jukebox songs, mix them with windswept early 70’s psyche-desert hip-hop lyricism and toss in freestyle rap verses. A lethal combo that has made them legends of the west coast country-rock scene.
Formed in 2002 by lead singer Zach Selwyn and guitarist Dan Wistrom, the band quickly became an enormous live attraction around Los Angeles with their original blend of country, rock and hip-hop. Zachariah and crew transcended musical styles to become not only one of the most popular bands in town, but they have recorded with artists like Fergie from “Black Eyed Peas” and members of the “Black Crowes.” International fame came, however, when nine of Zachariah’s songs were featured in the cult favorite comedy/horror film Dead and Breakfast in 2005. (Winner: Audience Award and Jury award – Weekend of Fear Film Festival, Germany/Audience Award – Dead By Dawn Film Fest. Scotland). “Best segments in a film in a long time – all Zachariah” – Chris Gore, FilmThreat.com.\
The key to this band is the live show. Zachariah leads marathon-length freestyle-rap sessions over country-rock break beats during sets by the band.
Their single I Wanna be a Lawnmower was chosen as the 2008 High Times Magazine Stony Awards theme song.
With a musical comedy video deal with atom.com (See “White People Problems”) as well as songs written for TV shows and viral campaigns like “Microsoft/XBOX Stand Up 2 Cancer” “Greek,” “Netgear,” “Discovery Science Channel,” “Wildfire,” and “Levi’s jeans.” Once you watch this band live, you will never doubt that country and hip-hop can exist together so flawlessly, and that live music is alive and well and living in L.A.
