NEW MUSIC: The Zehbras

Josh Abbot, or as I like to call him red-headed Jesus, has a new project! The Zehbras, based out of (you guessed it) Brooklyn is a collabo between Abbot and Lily Qian. The former co-front man of The Jealous Girlfriends and most recently the super indie super group New Numbers, a band that includes Abbott, Mike Fadem, Noah Chernin, Matt Sumrow, Evan Voytas, Dave Sherman, Kevin Devine and Mike Strandberg posted this video for the first song by The Zehbras called "Little Kitties" this week.
