| Biography |
Parasite City were formed during
the spring of 2001 by members Rizzie Captain, and Angel Roxx, two musicians
with an intense desire to take rock music to the next level. The guys set to
work penning lyrics and creating catchy riffs in order to give their new band a
voice. Some tracks for their first demo were born from these early writing
sessions giving the boys some direction.
Englishman Sebastian Bow joined the band in 2001 when he answered an advert
Rizzie and Angel had placed on the internet during their search for a full
Parasite City line-up. Bassist Funky had performed with Angel previously and
was invited to jam with Angels' new band. It was after this initial jamming
session that Parasite City had finally found a fourth member.
Finding a drummer seemed to be their biggest challenge and to date Parasite
City has seen two drummers come and go, but it was three times a charm when
they met ZZ, who officially joined the band in January 2016. Since then
Parasite City has enjoyed the luxury of its first stable line-up!
Since forming in 2001 Parasite City has performed regularly generating both
press and fan interest throughout Europe. Their reputation as an energetic live
band has earned them slots for various Finnish festivals and they've done
nearly 70 shows over the past few years. The bands' first gigs outside of the
Finnish border saw daylight spring 2005 when the Parasites did two shows in
Italy. This was followed in February 2006 by a headline tour of the UK.
Parasite City have recorded two demo-tapes, released one EP, and a latest
single on December 2005, which was produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa, who has
produced for bands like HIM, and was mastered at Finnvox studio by Mika Jussila,
who has worked with Nightwish, and Children of Bodom to name just two!
