Zebra

There are at least 3 artists/groups named "Zebra". 1) a 3 piece rockband, 2) a jamaican Dancehall-Deejay 3) dutch reggae/ska (nederreggae) band MySpace, Zebra is a 3 piece melodic rock band comprised of Randy Jackson (vocals/guitars), Guy Gelso (drums), and Felix Hanemann (bass/keyboards). Originally formed in 1975 in New Orleans, Zebra developed legendary status in two "hometown" areas (Louisiana and Long Island), but are woefully under-appreciated in much of the remaining rock world. The band was initially compared to Led Zeppelin and Rush due to their first releases "Tell Me What You Want" and "Who's Behind the Door" off their debut album. They also garnered this initial reputation because they started their career playing covers from both of these classic bands. They later developed their own sound due to the incredible range of Randy Jackson on vocals. Though certainly not a mega act, Zebra still holds concerts and have a faithful fanbase. Their fourth studio album was released in 2003. Official Zebra site: thedoor.com Zebra is also a jamaican Dancehall-Deejay. There is also a dutch reggae/ska band called Zebra. The myspace site of this band is here, in dutch.
