CHRISTIAN THE SEAGULL is a psych-garage trio formed between Catania and Manchester in 2020. Suspended between esotericism and Italian pop culture, their work is a psychedelic parable made of fuzz pedals, hypnotic rhythms, and an occult, rather unhealthy devotion to 80s and 90s television tropes.

After a series of tour dates across the UK, France, Belgium, and Italy, the trio toured throughout Italy in 2024 and 2025, released the video clip for the single “Fresh”, and presented their new single “Jerry Galaxy” at Torino's Blah Blah. This single served as a teaser for the EP CHRISTIAN THE SEAGULL II, released in December 2024 on cassette via Sour Grapes Records (Manchester). At the beginning of 2026, they will release their third EP, DEAD MATTARELLAS.

Officially born in Ostia, on the sea of Rome Italy in 1997, the band has released more than 15 albums and played thousands of shows throughout the planet, gaining a cult status worldwide. Genre-defying and boundary-blurring, Zu has evolved a unique musical language following its own personal path. Parts of metal, noise, prog, electronic music, ambient, industrial, and contemporary music, are transformed and reshaped in their unique form, resembling none of the above. In the last 20+ years, they have collaborated with a wide array of artists, from their famous collaboration with Mike Patton on Carboniferous album, to acclaimed theatre director Romeo Castellucci and his Societas Raffaello Sanzio. They have released albums on labels such as Ipecac Recordings and (Ulver-curated) House Of Mythology on which they published an experimental trilogy: Jhator (2017) Zu93 – Mirror Emperor (2018), Terminalia Amazonia (2019).

In 2024 they show up again with a vinyl reissue of "Bromio" (their first work from 1999), followed by "The Lost Demo", a sort of legendary testimony of their debuts dated 1996, both on the roman label Subsound Records.

Still in 2024 a "natural" partnership is born with another cult band from the other side of the ocean: the iconic Japanese noise rock band Ruins, performing as RuinsZu. With Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins) on drums they set off on 1 month European tour and a live album to be released in 2025 for Subsound Records

Jarno Kantanen, also known as Karasu Kinbaku, has worked as a tattoo artist for over 30 years and has practiced shibari for around a decade. His style is rooted in traditional Japanese kinbaku, focusing on intense body manipulation and the non-verbal communication between two people. To the viewer, it appears as an art form expressed through the human body.
