La "Little Ol' Band From Texas" lleva más de medio siglo ofreciendo rock, blues y boogie en la carretera y en el estudio a millones de fans incondicionales. Con una iconografía tan distintiva como su sonido, ZZ TOP es prácticamente sinónimo de barbas, coches de carreras, guitarras giratorias y ese llavero mágico que trasciende la geografía y el idioma.

It was in Houston in the waning days of 1969 that ZZ TOP coalesced from the core of two rival bands, Billy Gibbons’ Moving Sidewalks and Frank Beard and Dusty Hill’s American Blues. Their third album, 1973’s Tres Hombres, catapulted them to national attention with the hit “La Grange,” still one of the band’s signature pieces today. Eliminator, their 1983 album was something of a paradigm shift for ZZ TOP. Their roots blues skew was intact but added to the mix were tech-age trappings that soon found a visual outlet with such tracks as “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Legs” on the nascent MTV. It was one of the music industry’s first albums to have been certified Diamond, far beyond Gold and Platinum and a reflection of US domestic sales exceeding 10 million units.

As a touring entity, they’ve been without peer over the past five decades, having performed before millions of fans on four continents and have been the subject of their own Grammy-nominated documentary titled That Little Ol’ Band From Texas. The band’s line-up of the bearded Gibbons and Hill and Beard, who ironically is clean shaven, remained intact for more than 50 years until Dusty’s passing. When Dusty temporarily departed the tour in the summer of 2021, it was a given that Elwood would be the perfect choice to stand in for Dusty until he could return. But Dusty’s return was not to be, and Elwood continues to handle the bass duties for the band now and into the future.

Los elementos que mantienen a ZZ TOP frescos, perdurables y por encima de la contienda transitoria pueden resumirse en las tres palabras del mantra interno de la banda: "Tono, Sabor y Tenacidad". Como auténticos músicos de raíces, tienen pocos iguales. Sus influencias son tanto los creadores de la forma - Muddy Waters, B.B. King, et al - como los rockeros del blues británico y Jimi Hendrix que surgieron la generación anterior a la ascensión de ZZ.

Han vendido cientos de millones de discos a lo largo de su carrera, han sido designados oficialmente Héroes del Estado de Texas, han sido incluidos en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll (nada menos que por Keith Richards) y han aparecido en innumerables dibujos animados y comedias. Son auténticos iconos del rock y, contra todo pronóstico, hacen lo que siempre han hecho. ¡ZZ TOP permanece!
