Nicole Zaray Electro Cabaret
"Songs Of Urban Loner Life - Funny, Odd & Catchy; Solitary
in a cool
way. Just a Woman Alone with her Knocked-Out-Cuckoo Jazz TripHop
beats,
lyrics of the Ole New York..And her crazy way of not goin' crazy,
but
just ending up nonchalant."
A slick, weird, sultry and catchy and decidedly feminine (ha!)
performance about the beat of independent urban life..women in
water
tanks, lonely and
romantic buildings..smooth beats and precisely woven video overlays...
Performers
Nicole Zaray: Vocals and Beats & Keys Sounds
Eva Mueller: Visuals (with some video by Takashi Kusui and Nicole
Zaray)
With styling and fashions by Tania Sterl.
H.E.R.
Yvette Perez (vocals, synth), Peter Zummo (trombone), Danny
Tunick (vibes, percussion)
Pop/experimental trio performs material from upcoming debut CD
release Songs About the Mysteries of Housework and Nature (due
out Nov 7th).
Songstress Yvette Perez (songwriter/vocalist for the NYC avant-garde
quintet Birdbrain) plays keyboards and sings
about the conflicts of domestic habits with the outer world while
trombonist Peter Zummo (who's worked with Arthur Russell, "Blue" Gene
Tyranny, Teo Macero) rambles through a thicket of electronic ambience
in an experiment of memory and obsession. Vibraphonist/percussionist
Danny Tunick (who has recorded for Ecstatic Peace, Tzadik and Bang
On a Can All Stars) adds delicate vibes and sensuous beats.
The beautiful and haunting songs of H.E.R. blend pop and minimalism while blurring
the line between improv and song; between prismatic recollection and blighted
reality.
Azalia Snail
Azalia Snail has recorded 11 critically-acclaimed
albums, gaining recognition
as a pioneering force in the underground "lo-fi" movement of the 1990's.
Many influential labels have released her music, including Sub Pop and Dark Beloved
Cloud, who launched their label with a split 7" by Azalia and SEBADOH.
She
also
filmed and assembled Super-8 films as backdrop to live performances. In 1996,
she was commissioned by MTV to score the music for the program Ain't Nuthin'
But A She Thing. She has also composed music for several indie features
and short films. She has toured consistently throughout the USA and Europe with
such acts as LOW, SEBADOH, THE BLACK HEART PROCESSION, SPORTSGUITAR, and ILLYAH
KURYAHKIN. Azalia moved to California in 2000, and won that year's LA Weekly
Music Award for Best New Genre.
Her latest album Avec Amour is her most dazzling to date and features
lead mellotron (recorded in England by psychedelic troubadour Gary Ramon) and
cello by Tanya Haden (wife of Jack Black).
