HEY, MY EVENT.

Something Cold is co-working with the Crofoot to put this on. EVERYONE COME THE FUCK OUT.

ZOLA JESUS is the endeavor of a solitary girl named Nika Roza Danilova to simultaneously combat and invoke the approaching apocalypse using the only weapon/offering she has; her voice. After a decade of opera study and a musical awakening involving such varied inspiration as Billboard bubblegum, classical arias, no wave, avant industrial, she was able to thread her influences into a sound uniquely her own.

Born and raised in the ...backwoods of Wisconsin, Nika Roza was literally raised by wolves (well proximally anyways). Trained as an opera singer from a young age, she applied to Julliard. At 10 years old. Rejection didn't slow her down though as she went on to complete high school in three years and is set to graduate from university with a double major in French and philosophy in the same amount of time.

Fans and critics alike seemed rabid for new material ever but none of them were quite prepared for the massive pop-ness of her new EP on Sacred Bones, Stridulum. Recording her vocals for the first time with professional instruments, Nika's voice is brought to the powerful forefront of the mix unleashing the full range of emotions that had only been hinted at in her previous work. No longer just the doomsday soothsayer, Nika refines her soulful psalms creating songs equally nurturing as foreboding.

With special guests TURN TO CRIME (Derek Awesome Color's solo drone rock tunes), THE WIRE EYES, and SOMETHING COLD DJs.

I will be there, got someone to cover for me

[DJ Saint]

Last nights Zola Jesus show = Sinister and beautiful. Climatic and vexing. HUGE drums, sweeping synths and a voice that just rang out loud and clear.

A terrific and remarkable performance!

Cult of Youth was pretty good too with the apocalyptic folk ala Death in June.

Fun night. Saw a few familiar faces too.

[DJ Nocker]

Sad that the spooky community doesnt go out and support

Thank you, Hipsters, for supporting great music.

Was an amazing show.

You cats already know this but for the benefit of the rest:

My car still isn't running hence my missing out on great shows. I had to state that so folks won't think I'm as bad as the average DGNer/City Clubber/Necto-goer.

wonders how many of the local "goths" were at Necto instead last night*

I convinced a couple to skip necto for zola, they said it was totally worth it.

This is all making me realize that the lameness on the part of the local is making me inspired blog...
