History
Formed in 2003 from the ashes of Ged Lynn's post Stairs band "The Living Brain", which along with singer Lars Gabel also featured James Pagella and Tom Sumnall.
Based at Liverpool rehearsal space The Kif, the band's lineup has changed considerably over the years from a twin drum-twin brass, bass and percussion ensemble, to the current line up featuring bass, drums, brass, and electronics/synths. The band also at one time featured Super Numeri founder and Ladytron bassist Pop Levi, and his future rhythm guitarist Dominic Lewington.
Zukanican are noted for their improvised live performances and have been compared to, amongst other acts, Sun Ra, Soft Machine and Can, and have also acted as Damo Suzuki's sound carriers on several occasions.
The band have released 5 albums and one EP.
