  • Zoot war eine australische Pop/Rock-Band aus Adelaide und wurde 1965 gegründet. Auch wenn ihnen selbst in ihrem Heimatland der Start ziemlich schwerfiel, sammelte sich langsam eine kleine Gefolgschaft um die Band, und 1968 war der nationale Durchbruch dann geschafft. Im gleichen Jahr zog die Kapelle nach Melbourne um und startete eine kleine Tournee. Zwei der eher bekannteren Mitglieder der Formation waren Beeb Birtles, der im Jahre 1975 dann die Little River Band gründete, und Rick Springfield, der in den Vereinigten Staaten als Solokünstler, Liederschreiber und Schauspieler großen Erfolg erzielte.
