BIOGRAPHY

The Zanders (though not the most original name) met in person, in the summer of 2006. The youngest Zander had just moved from a small town in Illinois in February of that year. They soon discovered their common passion for music and writing, and the idea to form a band was born.

While driving to the grocery store, a good friend was chatting on the phone and said, "I'm going shopping with the Zanders." And so the band unanomously voted on this as the official name...(thanks Bailey!)

With an acoustic guitar and two sets of vocals, The Zanders set out to be the greatest band there ever was....Within the first few days they had written their first "future chart topper" called "Myself." Using a previously written riff of Zander C., and the quick lyrical skills of Zander B., their first song was off and running...

The Zanders have decided that when they begin touring, their "kick-off" tour will be called, the "God Made Two of Us" tour. There first and only stop on said tour, will take place in Antarctica where they will perform only one song, but generate the largest crowd of screaming and devoted fans in the history of live music performances.
