The Zolas

The Zolas is a Canadian progressive rock band based in Vancouver, British Columbia. They are signed to Light Organ Records. Band members include Zachary Gray (vocals/guitar) and Tom Dobrzanski (piano).
Their debut album, 'Tic Toc Tic', was released in 2010 and produced by Howard Redekopp, who has worked with The New Pornographers and Tegan and Sara.
'Tic Toc Tic' was recorded for most part in a studio Dobrzanski constructed in his parents' basement while he was studying at the University of British Columbia. Other Vancouver bands such as Said the Whale and Hey Ocean! have also recorded there. The song "The Great Collapse" has been in rotation on CBC Radio 3.
Five tracks from 'Tic Toc Tic' have been heavily rotated on XM satellite radio station The Verge ("The Great Collapse", "You're Too Cool", "Body Ash", "No Talking", and "Marlaina Kamikaze"). Despite being a relative newcomer, The Zolas were the 4th-most heavily tracked band on the Verge for the first half of 2010. The Zolas were also nominated for Album of the Year at The Verge XM Awards in 2011.
Zachary Gray is the son of writer and composer John MacLachlan Gray.
Gray and Dobrzanski had previously made up Lotus Child, which started back in 2003 and later regrouped to form The Zolas.
