Zigtebra is Chicago's underground lo-fi indie rock, dream pop duo of Emily Rose and Joe Zeph. The creative partners first met in an LGBTQ dance troupe "Pure Magical Love." After dance practice, the pair wrote musicals and played basement shows, while exploring their uniquely sparkling, spooky pop sound. Everything changed in 2017 when they went on a 120-day tour and made a pact to make one new song and music video every month of the year while on the road. Their live show transformed and they quit their jobs and began to tour full time. For 2018, they have nine months of touring planned, and the release of a new album in August, plus big plans for 2019.
Zigtebra has performed in Sofar St. Louis, Sofar Portland, OR, Sofar Chicago, Sofar Atlanta, Sofar Philadelphia, Sofar Nashville, Sofar Eugene, Sofar NYC, Sofar Austin, Sofar Los Angeles, Sofar Boston, Sofar Washington D.C., Sofar Phoenix, Sofar Seattle, and Sofar San Francisco.
