A product of rural Minnesota, Holly Newsom leads Zoo Animal with her smooth, alto vocals reminiscent of Cat Power. Joined by Tim Abramson on bass and Thom Burton on drums, Zoo Animal constructs clean rifts and catchy rock.

Just named one of City Pages Picked to Click Bands of 2009, Zoo Animal has received much acclaim since the release of their first album "Young Blood" in July of 2008.

Zoo Animal stopped by The Current studios for a live performance on The Local Show.
