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.
2) An alias of Zoë Pollock (b. in Peckham, London, UK - aka Zoë, Zoe, Hepzibah Broom & Pollack), is a pop / rock / folk singer who began her career in the mid-80s, dated Martin Glover (aka Youth, who produced her early work), released three solo albums (two as Zoë, another as Hepzibah Broom) & several singles. She is now a member of Mama.
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).
3) A French-speaking variétés françaises singer, whose tune "Je Porte Un Toast" sounds like a cross between Françoise Hardy & Lamb.
Veneno
Zoé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O de estrellas que se funden
Si eres tú
Si es el sol o es la luna
Si es temor, si es rencor
O la falsa indiferencia
De una mancha de lluvia en tu memoria
Amanece otra vez
Y las horas se hacen tibias
Se desangran las sombras perfumadas
Una araña gigante
Dando vueltas en el aire
Una bola de niebla contraataca
Hablemos de luces
Hablemos de nada
Hablemos de cosas de verdad
De lo mortal
A veces tan triste
Y a veces tan libre
Veneno la confusión
Veneno yo
Sobre ti, sobre mí
O de estrellas que se funden
Si eres tú
Si es el sol o es la luna
Hablemos de luces
Hablemos de nada
Hablemos de cosas de verdad
De lo mortal
A veces tan triste
Y a veces tan libre
Veneno la confusión
Veneno yo
Hablemos de luces
Hablemos de nada
Hablemos de cosas de verdad
De lo mortal
A veces tan libre
Y a veces tan triste
Veneno la confusión
Veneno yo
Este día y en este lugar
Este día y en este lugar
Este día y en este lugar
Este día y en este lugar
Este día y en este lugar
Este día y en este lugar
, Zoe's song Veneno opens with a reflective tone as it muses about the nature of things. The lyrics pose questions about identity and perspective: "Sobre ti/Sobre mi/O de estrellas que se funden", asking whether "you" and "I" are distinct or the same, or if they are simply part of a larger universe. As the song continues, it moves from abstract musings to specific emotions, such as "temor", "rencor", or "falsa indiferencia". These feelings are described as a "mancha de lluvia" in memory, hinting at the transitory and subjective nature of emotions. The chorus repeats the opening lines and the theme of conversation, this time with a more urgent tone, "Hablemos de luces/Hablemos de nada/Hablemos de cosas de verdad/De lo mortal." The use of the word "veneno" throughout the song also highlights the idea of poison or toxicity as a metaphor for confusion or uncertainty.
The chorus is then repeated, this time with references to natural objects such as stars, the sun, and the moon, which can be interpreted as allusions to larger, universal forces. However, the final lines of the song return to the theme of confusion and duality: "A veces tan libre/Y a veces tan triste/Veneno la confusión/Veneno yo." The use of "yo" suggests a personal, individual struggle with the complexities of existence.
Overall, Veneno is a contemplative song that probes into the nature of self and identity, with a focus on emotions and the elusive nature of truth. The metaphors and imagery throughout the lyrics add a layer of mystery, encouraging the listener to similarly reflect and explore their own thoughts and feelings about existence.

La verdad, es que Zoé hizo justicia al concepto de unplugged: nuevas versiones, nuevos instrumentos, calidad interpretativa. Qué orgullo para latinoamérica.
