Evocative artist ZÖ celebrates the release of her new EP 'Do You Mind?' joined by special guest Belladonna on November 11th.
Doors at 7pm. Limited seats available.
ZÖ:
In 2019, ZÖ debuted a modest three-track EP that revealed what is at the heart of it all - to be unashamedly honest and vulnerable in her music while inviting others to do the same. Not only that, but she solidified herself as an evocative and empowering songwriter who validates and brings to light experiences that other people are afraid to talk about, or don’t know how to express themselves.
Growing up in a small town living by the sea, ZÖ was a shy and highly sensitive kid, who simply loved to sing. Now, music is more than just an outlet to ZÖ, more than just “sad pop music”, it’s a cathartic process that holds a strong sense of purpose and responsibility to others.
Belladonna:
Stumbling upon songwriting by happy accident, Bella found herself constantly drawn into music's storytelling, lugging around a tape recorder and catching snippets of glittery melodies and frank observations of daily life. Evolving from her seedling beginnings to her artist moniker Belladonna, her observations about the quirks of life became loaded one-liners, and her biographical lyrics and hypnotic melodies became the trademark of her fun blend of indie-pop.
In 2019 she moved to Auckland to finally put music at the forefront, where she hunkered down at Parachute Studios, dipped her toes into co-writing, and began committing her quirky pop tunes to tape. She found a kindred spirit in Shannon Fowler, the brains behind alt-pop outfit Tom Lark, and with Fowler at the helm released her debut EP Salty Dog in 2020.
