Girls With Guitars | Chris Tait | Lenni Jabour | Hey Vera | Swinghammer | Special Ed | Ariel's Worm | Annelise Noronha Those with day jobs may be reluctant to check out a show during the week. Not to fear, here at nia the doors open promptly, shows start within fifteen minutes of their advertised time, and most weekday shows wrap up by midnight. Enjoy! Linda M hosts the bi-monthly series Girls With Guitars. She invites you to drop into our "living room" and listen to the "girls" trade songs. Linda McRae and Layah Jane join her this month. Radio ready pop rock music is what Linda M is all about. Shut Eye Records out of Atlanta chose How Did You Know to appear alongside Norah Jones on their upcoming compilation. Ex-Spirit of the West, Linda McRae's songs are quick, hard doses about love and late night weirdnesses. Few people can bring a loud, sweaty crowd to absolute silence like this country songstress. Twenty-one year old singer-songwriter Layah Jane recalls Joni Mitchell, Ricki Lee Jones and Ani Difranco, with a resonance all her own. Advance tickets are available for this show on Saturday September 6. Advance tickets holders for this show will receive a free copy of our latest compilation cd Local Flavour 2003 featuring the song Change Your Mind by Linda M. Formerly the voice and front-dude with 80’s darlings Chalk Circle, Chris Tait returns to nia blending cool, tight riffs around Tait’s trademark vocals. Powerful, mature and poignant. Advance tickets are available for his show with Jen Foster on Thursday September 11. With an ability to contrast and combine her satirical sense of humour with more personal sides of her material, her "tell it like it is" approach is at once bittersweet and uplifting. These are no doubt some reasons why Billboard has claimed Lenni Jabour as “one of the most promising talents in Canada.” Advance tickets are available for her show with Claire Jenkins on Friday September 12. With their blend of roots, groove, etherial vocals, country twinged guitars and heavy grooves, Hey Vera move from catchy hooks to full out raw jams without anything missing in the translation. Hey Vera is joined by Tangerine on Thursday September 18. Advance tickets are available. Appropriately, his sound is a unique combination of eclectic influences including tin pan alley, Brill Building, folk, jazz, 60's west coast pop, and tropicalia. If you don't already know about Lori Cullen there may be some confusion. Is she a folky singer/songwriter or is she a jazz singer? Well, the answer is both. Her angelic pop deconstructions defy labels such as folk, jazz and singer/songwriter. Advance tickets are available for this show with opening act Tanya Phillipovich on Friday September 19. Advance tickets holders for this show will receive a free copy of our latest compilation cd Local Flavour 2003 featuring the song Catch Me by Lori Cullen. With unrelenting grooves that recall the vibe of Zappa meets Primus, Special Ed & The Musically Challenged truly believe that they are "conduits for some higher gods of funk and groove..." Advance tickets are available for this Saturday September 20 show with Peep Show. Advance tickets holders for this show will receive a free copy of our latest compilation cd Local Flavour 2003 featuring the song Pawnshop Ghettoblaster by Special Ed.
Ariel’s Worm began as a brother and sister duo in early 1999. The found precocious success on the pop/rock scene, within months the song Beginner's Luck was picked off their demo and used on an episode of the hit TV show Dawson's Creek. Advance tickets are available for Ariel's Worm next show with Skarlet O'Hara and Rae Spoon on Friday Sptember 26. Acclaimed for “rocking as hard as the boys...” local singer/songwriter Annelise Noronha is no stranger to embracing decibel strength. Her writing flirts with romantic tragedy, swirling electric guitars, heavy hypnotic bass lines, pulsing beats and “words that provoke tears...” Advance tickets are available for this Saturday September 27 show with Natasha Alexander. |
