ZEEKtheFREAK is a musical project started in 1996 by singer-songwriter, musician, and entertainer Zeek.
Originating from Dundee, Scotland, Zeek is the pseudonym of the painter, author, editor, philosopher, and lyricist S. A. Smith.
In the late 1970s, he was the singer and frontman of the comedy/punk band Snap-On Brothers and in the 1980s, half of the duo The Infamous Zeek & Giz. Later he also sang with Dutch metal bands Ebo and Fill Bloom.
The name ZEEKtheFREAK originated from the Snap-On brothers' song of the same name, written in 1977.
Zeek is a multi-instrumental studio recording artist who writes, records and produces his music and CDs.
About The Music:
The music genre is Alternative Rock, with a slice of punk, metal, acoustic and theatrical tendencies.
The live show is well-known in the Alkmaar region of Holland for being Shock-rock, very controversial, and sometimes even perverse.
