A BRIEF HISTORY
Formed firstly as a party rock band, The Zookeepers developed into so much more.
From three guys playing private parties for friends, the band progressed to a heavy weight pub and corporate act before venturing into the Tribute scene, developing some incredible and record breaking Tributes with the help of leading agencies and Levinge Events Pty Ltd.
History will also show that The Zookeepers generated dance industry waves by creating and designing the first ever "MODERN JIVE LIVE" dance party at Southport Sharks AFL, becoming Australia's first ever dedicated Modern Jive band.
The events were an instant success and are still held weekly.

BIANCA HAYES
- A multi-skilled entertainer, singer, DJ, dancer, teacher and choreographer.
- Bianca is most definitely a triple threat, with so much to offer audiences.
- Having performed as lead dancer for years in successful tribute acts (most definitely her super power) Bianca turned her hand to singing and completely hit it out the park, the rest is history.
- Not one to sit quietly, Bianca also runs her own super successful dance academy on the Gold Coast.
- Bianca's extensive theatrically experience fits so well into the show life that screams Zookeepers.
JOE ANTAO
An exceptional keyboard player with plenty of energy, Joe always brings the fun.
He has toured the globe and is easily a fan favourite with audiences wherever the Zookeepers go.
Moving to Australia from South Africa with his family has been a blessing for Aussie audiences up and down the coast. His influences are varied, covering many styles, with the ability to adapt to any situation.
We're so pleased to have Joe on the team, Mr entertainment.
