  About High Society Big Band
In the tradition of these great orchestras, High Society Big Band is a 16-piece big band consisting of five saxophones, three trombones, four trumpets, bass, keyboard, drums, and male and female vocalists.
High Society Big Band has an active library of hundreds of compositions, from jumping jive to slow and sweet, all to bring the brassy big band era alive.
The foundation of the band's repertoire is based firmly in the classic swing era of the 1930s and 1940s with all those golden hits, but the band also performs a wide variety of popular music from the 1950s through today that continues the tradition of the stirring, full-bodied sounds of the big bands.

Society 1's first video, "Nothing", (in which Zane performs the first real "suspension" ever done by a singer in a music video), aired regularly on Uranium on Fuse TV, along with a special episode of Uranium devoted entirely to the making-of the "Nothing" video.
In May 2004 Society 1 took their brand of rock n' roll debauchery to Europe, in support of Godhead, for their first tour outside of the U.S. Following the tour, the band entered the studio to begin recording their third album (their second for Earache): "The Sound That Ends Creation".
With its theatrical, aggressive, confrontational style and its heavy, anthemic sound, Society 1 is proving itself to be an heir to a long, exalted tradition of incendiary, controversial rock outfits, from The Doors to Alice Cooper to KISS to Jane's Addiction to Marilyn Manson.
