Biography

Zucchini drive are an alternative electronic hip-hop duo, who found their roots in the winter of 2003 somewhere in between London, Paris and Brussels. What started out as sideproject of Sweden’s Marcus Graap (stacs of stamina) and Belgium’s Tom De Geeter (cavemen speak), developed quickly into a fulltime occupation. The boys both kept their influences, being the acoustic lo-fi sound of cavemen speak on one hand and the electronica bounce rythms of stacs of stamina on the other.

After plenty of touring in europe and releasing a first album independently (as “the world after 4/02” first and as part of “gunporn” later), the zucchini brothers signed to 2ndrec (Europe) & Hue (Japan) to release the instant classic fullength “Being Kurtwood”. For this album Tom & Marcus could count on an impressive list of producers and guest musicians. Styrofoam, Populous and B.fleishmann from the Morr Music Label, as well as Anticon’s finest Alias. On vocals we could find the undisputed Markus Acher (the notwist), the sharp MC-duo Grand Buffet and fast rapper Bleubird. Italian indie heroes Giardini di Miro added a warm dimension to a couple of tracks. This only shows that these gentlemen can count on the respect of several important players in the genre. Zucchini Drive’s sound is fresh and continuously crosses borders.

Nice to know: during the years, Marcus & Tom shared stages with Alias, Beans, Boombip, De La soul, Def Jux collective, dDamage, galapagos4, Grand Buffet, Josh Martinez, Mike Ladd, Murs, Sage Francis, Saul Williams, Shapeshifters, Sole, Technoanimal, TTC, Themselves, .

    Being Kurtwood is great, but my favourites from that album are the songs that resemble the style of Goodyear Television Playhouse such as Good Music & Indian Food. As for Shotgun Rules, it's pretty good, but there's a bunch of other groups that do stuff from the Trip-Hop spectrum so much better. It would be cool if they were better known and I would love it if they released a new album in the vein of Goodyear...that would be bliss to my ears. I love Why? too. One of the reasons for my prior judgments.

    I was obsessed with Goodyear Television Playhouse not long ago. Don't know why. I love it, but I've been listening to it for 3 years and nothing like that happened before.
