Z Machine and Zopp at The 1865

Double headline - ZOPPZopp are a British act whose music seamlessly bridges jazz-rock, ambient, folk, psychedelic rock, and fuzzed-out Canterbury prog. Expect gloriously intricate, organ-heavy compositions reminiscent of Soft Machine, Frank Zappa, and Egg. With two internationally critically acclaimed, award-winning studio albums to date—including Dominion, named ‘Favorite Album of 2023’ by King Crimson biographer Sid Smith—Zopp are breathing vital new life into the progressive genre. This performance will feature live debuts of brand-new material from their forthcoming third album, Bizarro.
