With their first music video just a week away, Simi Valley’s SHEER comes out to perform with San Francisco’s ethereal wave duo Mercury’s Antennae and dark experimental singer Carisa Bianca Mellado at Club Violaine. Resident DJs will also be spinning songs in tribute to Lush along with other classic ’90s shoegaze hits till 2 AM.
Since 2001, Club Violaine has kept its hand on the beat of Los Angeles’ shoegaze-dreampop scene, hosting local and visiting acts including The Meeting Places, Light FM, Chapterhouse, and more. For seven years, Club Violaine was hosted at Roberto’s Club near Chinatown until the establishment closed late 2013. Now it seems Club Violaine has found a new home at the M-BAR Music Lounge in Boyle Heights, easily accessible via Metro. Cover is $5 all night and doors open at 9:30 PM. – Ryan Mo
