Friends of is multi-instrumentalist and producer Zeke Reed. A classically-trained cellist, Zeke makes what he calls “psychedelic space disco.” His sound is simultaneously dancey and trippy, retro and modern, organic and electronic. Zeke brings the full band experience to the dancefloor, singing and playing live instruments alongside a rotating backing band. The undeniable grooves and high-energy delivery always get the crowd moving. Plus, the whole band wears space cowboy outfits.
In April 2024, Zeke released his debut EP “Airstream Astronaut,” highlighting his vintage cosmic aesthetic. Cohesive yet eclectic, the EP ranges from the mind-melting “Mushroom Disco” and Italo-disco bop “Ciao Baby” to the soulful “Sundial,” summery “Tryna Figure Out” and lovelorn “Meant to be.” His debut album “Contemporary Cowboys of the Canyon” is due out next year, with several singles to come soon.
Zeke’s music has been featured on LA tastemaking radio station KCRW, on blogs like ThisSongisSick, on playlists with thousands of followers, and in YouTube videos by nearly 2000 creators. He has played festivals like the Oregon Country Fair and Topanga Days, and iconic LA venues like Aviator Nation’s Dreamland, The Venice West, and the Mid City Yacht Club. In summer 2024, Zeke completed his first California tour and played The Soda Bar (San Diego), Soho (Santa Barbara) and The Faight Collective (San Fransisco). He followed it up with a second duo tour in Summer 2025, performing from SoCal up to Canada.
