International Pop Prog Band ZIO is the brainchild of former Karnataka drummer Jimmy Pallagrosi. The band made its live debut at Crescendo Festival in France in 2018, unveiling a lineup that included Olivier Castan (keys), Marc Fascia (guitar), and Liz Hayes (bass), alongside guest vocalists Hayley Griffiths (Karnataka/The Hayley Griffiths Band) and former Enid vocalist Joe Payne. Together, they released their award-winning debut album, Flower Torania, a concept album inspired by video games, fantasy, and 80's sci-fi films. Flower Torania received critical acclaim, winning rave reviews and earning the top spot on Notes Reviews' list of best albums of 2020. In 2023, ZIO released TRUEWAVES, their second album, featuring a stellar lineup of vocalists, including Eric Gillette (Neal Morse Band), John Mitchell (Arena/Lonely Robot/Frost), Corvax, Hayley Griffiths, Magda & Miranda, and Gabriel Agudo (Incontinuum Band/Steve Rothery Band). ZIO's energetic and powerful live show was captured with the 2024 release of LIBOMEVIL, a live concept album showcasing tracks from both Flower Torania and TRUEWAVES, and recorded during their 2023 UK tour. The band returns in 2026 with an exciting lineup that includes newcomers Mary Reynaud (Franck Carducci), Simon Fitzpatrick (Carl Palmer), and Ben Vize (Pyjean). Bursting onto the UK scene, the band will perform an exclusive run of four shows in 2026, commencing in London on the 5th May.
