The band said it gets this homey feeling when eating together at Moe’s Original BBQ in Newark, Ohio, or performing for crowds in Dayton and Yellow Springs, Ohio, where Casa said people know how to “get down” like they do in Columbus. But every now and then, you’ll find a city, and you’re like, ‘This makes me think of home,’” Casa said. “There’s so many cities that are just the same - it’s the same Pilot station, same Wendy’s, the same type of venue. When on the road, Casa said he appreciates the little things that remind him of Columbus. We are making that energy for ourselves,” Roose said. “There are shows where we are playing to basically nobody in a town where they’ve never heard of us, and we’re still having a blast because it’s not necessarily about how they’re feeling.

He said the genre-bending nature of the group’s music reflects a sound that is specific to the Columbus music community. “We try to not stick to one genre, but if you have to put an umbrella term on it, I just call it rock ’n’ roll,” Roose said. This translates to a sound bassist Alex Kessis said bounces around blues, funk, hip-hop and rock ‘n’ roll. “I want people to realize that they can individually inflict change,” Casa said. Today, the band maintains its high-energy reputation with music that vocalist Tony Casa said he hopes will make people feel like they could start a revolution. “And I think we kind of built the name Zoo Trippin’ around that.” Our shows were very energetic, very wild,” Hatmaker said. The local band, so named for an old pastime of psychedelic excursions to the Columbus Zoo, got its start playing wild and explosive after-party shows, guitarist Lynn Roose and drummer Steve Hatmaker said.
