Local H announce Here Comes the Zoo 20th Anniversary Tour
Iconic rock’n’roll outfit Local H is back with the announcement of the Here Comes The Zoo 20th Anniversary Tour, in celebration of the the record released March 2002 via Palm Pictures.
On the 20th anniversary of said album, guitarist Scott Lucas wrote: “In a lot of ways, this was the toughest record we ever had to make. We were at a real turning and it wasn’t just a record that would determine the future of the band – it was the record that would determine whether or not Local H was going to even have a future. We had just worked with Roy Thomas Baker on Pack Up the Cats – so getting another producing legend was not in the plan. Then we found out Jack Douglas was interested. So what could we do? He’s the man. We had no choice but to go with him.”
Local H remain as prolific and hungry as ever three decades into their perennially loud career. Shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed, Steve Albini produced album Lifers in 2020, the world changed forever with the onset of the global pandemic. After facing tour cancellations around the world, Local H became one of a handful of trailblazing acts to formulate and embrace the drive-in experience, producing multiple sold out shows across the Midwest, in addition to their massively successful live concert events streamed from their rehearsal space.

About:
Unlike so many of their peers from the ’90s, Local H have refused to slow down. Since the band’s formation in 1990, they have released eight studio albums, countless EPs and live records, a well-received series of “Mix Tapes” featuring a surprising mix of cover songs, and a steady stream of memorable singles that include “Eddie Vedder,” “Hands On The Bible,” “California Songs,” and the rock radio staple “Bound For The Floor.” In addition to all of that, guitarist/vocalist Scott Lucas and drummer Ryan Harding have maintained a near constant international touring schedule — forging a blistering live show that has amassed a loyal and enthusiastic fan base.
