My Industrial Middleeastern Dance project, nO thiNg will be
performing a rare live show at the BOX in Santa Cruz this coming
Monday, March 17th.

We will perform from 10-11 and then the J-Synth Goth band, the ROYAL DEAD will
perform immediately afterward (hailing from Osaka, they were one of the headling
groups at the Kobe Underground Festival in Osaka, before changing their name from Phantasmagoria)

nO thiNg is the project of John Connell and myself. We both have extensive professional experience
performing for both belly dance, tribal belly dance and traditional middleeastern musical settings.

John is a wonderful multi-instrumentalist well known for playing Daf and Ney in traditional Persian settings
and will be playing guitar and synthesizer.

I will be playing Distortion Bass,traditional middleeastern percussion, drumset, industrial metal percussion, keyboards,
string instruments, brass, wind instruments and extended vocal techniques and using a lot of live looping to 'clone' myself.

The purpose of this project is to play traditional rhythms with traditional scales in a very minimal and hardhitting way with a heavy
emphasis on INdustrial timbres.

The whole point is to dance, so I hope that some of the areas gothic belly dancers will show up in all their finery to let the Goths know what this small but beautiful movement is about.
