Remy Zero

Remy Zero are an Alabama-based alternative rock band, consisting of members Cinjun Tate (lead vocals and guitar), Shelby Tate (guitar, keyboards and vocals), Cedric LeMoyne (bass), Jeffrey Cain (guitar) and the late Gregory Slay (drums and percussion).

The band Radiohead discovered Remy Zero’s demo tape and invited them to be part of their US tour that supported their 1995 album The Bends. It was after this time that Remy Zero moved from Alabama to Los Angeles in order to record their first self-titled album which came out in 1996, but received very little recognition or sales.

The band’s second album called “Villa Elaine” was released in 1998 and featured the songs “Prophecy,” which was used on the soundtracks for the movies She’s All That and The Last Kiss; “Fair,” which was eventually featured on the soundtrack to the movie Garden State and “Hermes Bird,” which was used in the TV shows Felicity and Charmed as well as being featured on the soundtrack for the movie Never Been Kissed. Also on that album is today’s Song of the Day – “Yellow Light” – that was featured in an episode of Roswell.
