1) A Mexican rock band, that's not not afraid of experimenting, with a modern sound, an eclectic style, some British influences & overall, their music's sophisticated without loss of rock energy. Their lyrics cover many subjects / feelings, with the same level of sophistication that their music shows, plus honesty. They usually write songs in Spanish, sometimes in English or a combination of both languages.
They began as a band in 1994; as time went by, the band changed members several times until the definite lineup stuck in 1997 with León Larregui (vocals and guitar), Sergio Acosta (guitar), Beto Cabrera (drums), Ángel Mosqueda (bass) and Chucho Báez (keyboards). Then the band made a demo and many gigs on their own with the little resources that they had; with all that, Zoé began to call the attention of the hispanic radio stations in the U.S. Later in 1998, Zoé signed a record deal with Sony Music Mexico and began making their first record in 2000; this album, self titled, came out and quickly became a favorite of the audience in Mexico; after that, the band performed songs in soundracks of movies such as 'Amar Te Duele', 'Ladies Night' and 'The Dreamer'.
Fast forward to 2003. Zoé, along with producer Phil Vinall (Placebo, Elastica, Pulp), recorded their second album called 'Rocanlover', which became more successful than the first one thanks to hit songs like 'Peace & Love' and 'Veneno', which aired in several TV countdowns.
In 2005, after three years of working together, Zoé left Sony Music because of the lack of real interest that this record label had in them and signed a new deal with Noiselab; with a newfound belief in record labels, Zoé made an EP called 'The Room', which debuted at the top of the rankings in Mexico. This EP includes, among others, the song 'Dead' (first single); also,are including "She Comes" and "Morning Watts" as new songs and also some remixes of "Dead" by great electronic artists from Mexico such as Sonido Lasser Drakkar or Los Dynamite, plus a couple of videos.
On July 12th, 2006; Zoé (now wih Rodrigo Guardiola in the drums) presented their more recent production, "Memo Rex Commander y el Corazón atómico de la Vía Láctea", a sophisticate, layered production, which tops several magazines' rankings. Both Zoé and producer Phil Vinall worked very hard in Tornillo, Texas, a remote town in the desert, to get "Memo Rex" finished.
In fall 2006, Zoé headlined the Rockampeonato Tour, along with other Noiselab signees like Los Dynamite and Los Odio!, which held shows at cities like Mérida, Guadalajara and many others. This is the biggest tour Zoé has been a part of since they were formed.
In 2007 Zoé recorded "281107", a live album that celebrates their first 10 years as a band, it was recorded on the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, this recording went platinum pretty quickly which is something unusual for live recordings in Mexico. On November 11th 2008 "Repileptric" Zoé's seventh studio album was released.

Her 1991 début, Scarlet Red And Blue (originally, released as Zoë's Scarlet Red And Blue), contained Sunshine On A Rainy Day & "Lightning" (aka Sunshine On A Rainy Day & Lightning, with 'Zoe' spelling), which have been her biggest hits, to date (peaking at #4 & #37, respectively - on the UK chart).
In 1996, Zoë re-emerged - still with M & G Records & bringing a revamped image / style / sound - releasing an americana-styled rock album, Hammer.
Re-emerging again, around 2008, she has released Hepzibah Broom (as Hephzibah Broom) & formed female folk duo 'Mama' (with singer Sarah McQuaid - their début release is Crow Coyote Buffalo).

Right In The Night
Zoé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That was the first time
The first time about music
The first time I ever loved it
That man playing guitar
Playing guitar right next to me
Next to me and next to the fire
I can remember
I can remember
I can remember like it was yesterday
A blanket of stars above us
Cold sand at our feet
The drummers drumming away
In the silence surronding
Sunburned from the day
A cool breeze through my hair
I never want to forget
The way I danced that day
I can remember
I can remember
I can remember like it was yesterday
Dance, dance, Pina said
Was the best stage I could wish
But music made me cry
Made my soul bleed Inside
Tears falling down my face
They made me realise
Made my heart melt down inside
For the beauty of this world
I can remember
I can remember
I can remember like it was yesterday
The song "Right in the Night" by Zoé takes us on a journey through the memories of a special night in the desert. It starts off with the singer reminiscing about how that night was the first time they fell in love with music. The desert can be an ideal place to unwind and appreciate one's surroundings, and the presence of live music can add to the overall experience. The man playing guitar next to them moved them with his passionate performance. The way he played made it easy for the singer to get lost in the music.
The song continues, and the singer describes the surroundings. There is a blanket of stars above them, and they can feel the cold sand beneath their feet. They can hear the beating of the drum from the drummers around them, but it is the silence surrounding them that makes the moment truly magical. The cool breeze in the hair and the memories of dancing in the night while being sunburned from the day leave a lasting impression. Still, it is the music that made the singer cry and melted their heart inside for the beauty of this world.
All in all, the song "Right in the Night" by Zoé is about the power of music to move us and transport us to another world. It is about experiencing the magic of music and how it can touch our soul and make us emotional. It is a reminder of how special moments can be treasured and kept close to our hearts forever.
