Please Do Not Fight

Redwood City, California based indie rock/pop group Please Do Not Fight is ready to make you MOVE. Described as “Death Cab For Cutie meets Matt and Kim,” this Bay Area audience favorite is known for their exciting and engaging live shows. You will be compelled to jump around and sing along but at the same time you can’t help but latch on to the groups infectious charm and revel in their joy of playing songs that quickly become as unforgettable as their band’s name.

Songwriter Zen Zenith heartfelt lyrics reflect intelligence and introspection woven into multi-dimensional melodic layers. Zenith, who was born in England and raised in California, formed PDNF in early 2007 as a showcase for his original songs. The band quickly evolved into a collaborative collective of talented musicians and performers who each infuse their individual creative imprint. Classically-trained musician Erin Keely is featured on violin, keyboard and piano. Along with her multi-instrumental contributions, this Texas native’s sweet and soulful vocals complement Zenith and add to the band’s unique sound.

Lead guitarist Geoff McCann, like Zenith, is both a graduate of The Musicians Institue in Hollywood, California and mentor and teacher at The Riekes Center For Human Enhancement in Menlo Park, California. Rounding out the group is Kubes, an accomplished drummer with a degree in Music Percussion from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. Both musicians bring a laid back improvisational feel to the bands signature string and synth ladened rock songs through intricate groove based riffs and arrangements.

Please Do Not Fight’s debut LP ‘Leave It All Behind’ was released in late 2007 and, by Christmas the following year, the band performed at Cafe Du Nord in San Francisco as one of the top 5 bands voted for by fans and recognized by Live 105 in their Not So Silent Night Local Band Competition.

Please Do Not Fight’s aptly titled new EP - MOVE - features six new tracks and was released on October 1st, 2009 at a headlining show at The Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco, California. They are currently gearing up to embark on their forth west coast tour.
