This was quite a surprise. Exotic Animal Petting Zoo took the stage for the first time in 4 years the other week — opening for The Number Twelve Looks Like You.

The band played at the Cobra Lounge in Chicago on February 15th. They performed a bunch of songs off their 2012 album Tree of Tongues. And the night after opened again for #12 at their show in Valparasio, IN.

From what we know, it doesn’t look like EAPZ has any future plans. To do anything really. But one can dream.
