I’ve come down with a nasty chesty cough just in time for the performance at The Irish Society tonight.

S A T U R N A L I A I’m performing at the gorgeous Irish Society NYC this Tuesday Dec 3rd as part of Saturnalia, an immersive and intimate night curated by Neil Carty @neilcarty of @jointheuncommon. The lovely Charlotte Scheffer @chascheffer will create an olfactory experience for the night, diffused throughout the rooms of The Irish Society. @arspoetica.us by Lisa Ann Markusun will debut her unique interactive artform, Astro Poetica. ~ In ancient Roman times, during the winter solstice, #saturnalia was celebrated by pagans to honor the agricultural god, Saturn. It was a festival where all citizens of society were invited to participate in abandoning social order to drink and make merry, and to throw aside the cloak of decorum — all under the watchful eye of the ‘Lord of Misrule.’ Space is limited, if you would like to attend, RSVP via my *linkinbio. ☄️ . . . . . . #contra #vaporwave #synthwave #experimentalpop #analogmusic #avantpop #womeninmusic #darkambient #electronica #alternativemusic #vandanamusic #vandana #noxanima #antivenus #brooklynmusicians #vandanalive #intimate #perfromanceart #concert #immersive #vandanalive

🌒🌘 @caravangitane On October 31st, come dance with the seductress who whispers your name with her half angelic and half wild voice creating an otherworldly atmosphere. VANDANA will be performing live at Caravan Gitane’s Halloween at National Sawdust; fusing elements of synth-wave electronica with mesmeric avant-pop, Vandana’s music embraces womanhood and otherness from inside the mouth of a cave. The singer, producer and visual artist brings her process to life via slow-dripping, throbbing synths and poignant vocal melodies creating an atmosphere that’s haunting and exotic. Inspired by musical pioneers like Aphex Twin, Thom Yorke and Miles Davis as well as the vibrancy of Bollywood, the gothicism of The Cure and of Fever Ray, Vandana also takes her cues from purveyors of subversion like Edgar Allan Poe, Lars Von Trier and Henry Miller. Her journey from India to London to Brooklyn has influenced her otherworldly sound which arrives steeped in the eccentricities of her ancient DNA as well as in vehicles of abstract expression and experimentation. Join us at @nationalsawdust on Oct 31st. Wild souls and new realms are preparing for your arrival.

Playing a Benefit for Kashmir @babysallright along with the fantastic @therealkominas @djrekha @arish_ish @zerobridgeband and special guests on the 22nd of Sept. This will be a daytime event I’m honoured to be part of. Don’t wait to get those tickets 🏽 “Amid these vulgar celebrations the loudest sound, however, is the deathly silence from Kashmir’s patrolled, barricaded streets and its approximately seven million caged, humiliated people, stitched down by razor wire, spied on by drones, living under a complete communications blackout. That in this age of information, a government can so easily cut off a whole population from the rest of the world for days at a time, says something serious about the times we are heading toward.” ~ #arundhatiroy for @nytimes #kashmirbleeds #standforkashmir
