Zigmat played a stripped-down late night set last Saturday at Joe's Pub. The somewhat bittersweet performance was dedicated to Zigmat drummer Daniel Duggins who recently suffered a massive stroke. Daniel has been playing with Zigmat for the past two years and all proceeds from the show went to the Duggins family.
[Note: It isn't too late to donate to Daniel's recovery - PayPal contributions can be sent to dandugginsfund@gmail.com]
Zigmat's debut full-length, Sound of Machines, came out last year and Blogcritics describes the disc as "fus[ing] electronic beats and disparate styles to blur the lines between genres, creating a sound totally unique to Zigmat. I can only imagine that the band would be amazing in concert." The show at Joe's Pub was amazing and the band is now off to Spain next month to play the Sonar Festival.
Upcoming Tour Dates:
June 19, 2010 -- Sonar, Barcelona, ES
June 25, 2010 -- Café la Palma, Madrid, ES

DOWNLOAD: Zigmat - Light of the Moon
Brooklyn electro-rock band Zigmat are playing a benefit show tonight at Joe's Pub. This is the band's final US show before they head to Spain for the Sonar Festival.
As originally planned, the band was going to be premiering three new songs tonight. Unfortunately, the band's drummer had a massive stroke earlier this week so vocalist Monica Rodriguez and bassist Stephen Yonkin will be performing acoustically and all proceeds from the show will be donated to the drummer's family.
Tonight's show starts at midnight at tickets are $12.
