Zeke is a rock band from the Seattle area, formed in 1993. They play short fast tight explosive songs that make the Ramones sound like the Beach Boys. They have a refreshing original approach to Kick Ass Rock-n-Roll. Most of their songs are about drugs, sex, drugs, getting drunk, drugs, fast cars,drugs and so on. They sometimes sound like a cross between AC/DC and the Dead Kennedys. The band broke up in late 2002. The following year they were asked to play a reunion show after the release of Live and Uncensored. They've been together since but without Donny Paycheck.
