Indie-rock singer and guitarist Thalia Zedek live in Rome March 26th, 2014

-->
Indie-rock guitarist sensation Thalia Zedek played live at Rome’s Init club.   American Indie-rock singer and guitarist Thalis Zedek played in Rome in front of a rather small crowd.  The 53 year-old musician has been active on the alternative rock scene since the 1980s with groups such as “Live Skull” and “Come” (a reunion of the latter group may be in the works).  


Zedek grew up in the metropolitan area of Washington, D.C.  The early punk era of the late 1970s, in particular Patti Smith’s music, contributed substantially to her musical formation.  Her first band, the all-female “White Women”, broke up after a couple of years.  She then went on to form the “Dangerous Birds”.   That was followed with her next group, New York City’s “Live Skull”, where she became the primary vocalist.   Zedek also participated in the 1998 Suffragette Sessions tour which was  organized by the “Indigo Girls”. 


Despite limited commercial success (one of her masterpieces is “Eleven”), Zedek has been highly acclaimed by critics throughout her career as she has been deeply influential within the world of Indie-rock music.
