Enjoy The Zoo (sometimes abbreviated as ETZ) is an American pop/rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada. History The band was formed in Las Vegas, Nevada, by two childhood friends — Aaron Harmon on the guitar and Jordan Reyes on the bass. Since the age of 15 the two had written songs and played Incubus covers together, in a four-piece band called "Plumm". While studying music at UNLV, they recruited more members to create a progressive conceptual band called "A Beginners Mind" with Johnny Greco, Kyle Lampi, Shane Wise and Isaiah Lyon (Johnny and Isaiah would later leave the band). After numerous local shows, the band then moved to Franklin, Tennessee where they renamed as "Enjoy The Zoo". It was not until the summer of 2008, after almost 6 months on hiatus, that the band came back to life with their new member and lead singer, Jim Wes. They have played national shows with Boys Like Girls, Metro Station, Gym Class Heroes, Hot Chelle Rae and The Swellers.
