Bio

Indie rock group Please Do Not Fight is a band with a sound as unforgettable as their name. Described as “Dashboard Confessional meets Matt and Kim” and known for their engaging live shows the Redwood City, CA based group has grown steadily over the past years to become a Bay Area favorite.

Songwriter Zen Zenith’s heartfelt and introspective lyrics are woven upon music that reflects his folk and power-pop roots. Zenith, who was born in England and raised in California, formed PDNF in early 2007 as a showcase for his original songs. The band quickly evolved into a collaborative collective of talented musicians and performers who each infuse their individual creative imprint. Classically-trained musician Erin Keely is featured on violin, keyboard and piano. Along with her multi-instrumental contributions, this Texas native’s sweet and soulful vocals complement Zenith and add to the band’s unique sound.

Lead guitarist Geoff McCann, like Zenith, is both a graduate of The Musicians Institue in Hollywood, California and mentor and music teacher. Rounding out the group is Kubes, an accomplished drummer with a degree in Music Percussion from Minnesota and bassist Theresa Sawi, a bay area native who recently returned from a tour of Europe.

Please Do Not Fight’s debut LP ‘Leave It All Behind’ was released in late 2007 and, by Christmas the following year, the band performed at Cafe Du Nord in San Francisco as one of the top 5 local bands voted for by fans and recognized by Live 105 in their Not So Silent Night Local Band Competition. The band released their follow up EP ‘MOVE’ in October 2010 at a headlining show at The Rickshaw Stop. This summer they will be playing Left Coast Live in San Jose, CA with OK Go and Neon Trees, touring the west coast and releasing a music video for the song ‘Up Up Up’.

Please Do Not Fight is currently writing with plans to release a new single this summer in preparation for their next major release.
