Play Every Show Like It's the Biggest Show of Your Life





And the winner for "Best advice for any band" goes to...

"... I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, play every show like it’s the biggest show of your life. Don’t worry about what the crowd is doing, worry about what you’re doing. Even if there are only three people watching you or 3,000 people, the show you are playing at any given time should be the most important show of your life. ..."

PAT1ENT ZERO - Band Bio

Formed in 2008 by guitarist/vocalist Ben Christopher, all original thrash metal band, PAT1ENT ZERO, has been evolving their unique sound and vision.

After numerous line up changes, the Z found itself in the form of what can only be called a true POWER TRIO featuring the aforementioned Christopher on guitars and vocals, Ben Tessman taking on the role of bass monster, and thunderous drumming provided by local favorite KC "The King" Kelly.

The band is currently working on new material, tracking new singles, and booking shows for 2017.

2014 Tracking

Pat1ent Zero ends 2013 with a bang playing New Years Eve at Hull Avenue with our friends in Driver and Resurrection Mary. Despite the technical difficulties, the shortened set was still very intense.

Now that the calendar has reset, so shall the band. For the first month, the band has decided to take a hiatus from shows and concentrate on recording their first LP.

Pat1ent Zero wants to thank all of our friends and fans for your continued support. You keep the drive to compose original thrash metal music strong and fresh.
