Hear 'Girlfriend' In Full On The New Official Site

Zebrahead's Official Site has had a bit of a makeover to match the forthcoming 'Panty Raid' covers album artwork! Ben has written a short update detailing the new theme:

Hey Guys and Gals. Hope you guys like the new layout of the site. Easy to see it reflects the art on the "Panty Raid" covers album. Seeing some underwear?..and they are girls underwear! This is because it is a covers album of all female fronted songs. Hope you will think it is as fun as we have! Already writing songs for a new album and stoked. What a great bonus this covers album is.....at a time when there is normally nothing going on ....we throw a curve ball and suprise you with some FUN!

MFZB 4 LIFE

But probably more exciting for you is that is you head on over to the Audio Page of the site you can listen to the first single 'Girlfriend' in full! Let us know what you think!

EDIT: 'Girlfriend' can now also be heard on the band's Official MySpace as well!

Two Panty Raid Music Videos Shot!

Zebrahead have spent the past two days shooting not one but two music videos for their upcoming 'Panty Raid' album. The first single and music video to be lifted from the album is 'Girlfriend' and as the pictures would suggest, it seems to be a parody of the original Avril Lavigne video. The last two pictures seem to be for the second music video which as of yet has not had the track confirmed, but stay tuned for more details! You can check out some of the pictures Ed has uploaded from the shoots below:

Area4 Festival Video

Well luckily a fellow fan has recorded the footage so everyone is able to see the guys rocking out on stage.

Kerrang! Review & Ali's First Gig!

The latest issue of Kerrang! Magazine has a short Sonisphere review in which the guys were awarded an awesome score of KKKK (4/5), Ali also gets reminiscent and tells the readers about his very first gig! Check out the scans below!

MY FIRST GIG
GUNS N'ROSES / SKID ROW
Los Angeles Forum 1990
"Axl was a complete asshole - he made us wait a really long time before he would come out. Sebastian Back was also very cocky and arrogant. I mean they were just these huge rockstars being big dickheads! Despite that, I wound up really enjoying the show. It was full of wasted people and was just total spectacle from start to finish, which is pretty awesome to witness. I'm also pleased that I got to see Guns N'Roses before Axl Rose lost his mind completely"
-Ali Tabatabaee, Zebrahead

Thanks to MFZB.com's Scott and Matias for the scans!
