Surely you didn’t think we’d get through Zandari without me having a two-part interview, did you? Come now. You all should know me better than that! There was bound to be one artist so generous with their time I’d have to split up our conversation. Well, here it is. My chat with blues-rock band Decadent … More A Zandari Festa Interview with Decadent (Pt. 1)
I can honestly say the venue with the most electric acts was without a doubt Club FF. There’s something about the intimacy of the space. Perhaps just the closeness amplifies how dynamic each act is. Whatever it is, every time I end up in front of that small basement stage, I’m completely pulled to shreds … More Zandari Festa — DIEALRIGHT @ Club FF
One of my first interviews for Zandari Festa was with a band that I’d been really intrigued by from the first time I heard their music. It’s most unfortunate, then, that I made the mistake of suggesting we have our chat underneath the stairwell of MUV Hall while another band was doing their soundcheck. I … More A Zandari Festa Interview with LudiSTELO
Day 2 of Zandari Festa wrapped up with a band I’d been eager to see since we’d spoken to each other earlier in the day. Ego Function Error is one of those bands you must see to believe. With their message of gender nonconformity and redefining society’s characterization of femininity, seeing how they work live … More Zandari Festa — Ego Function Error @ Veloso
From all the fervor of Galaxy Express just moments before, it’s a race to the finish to make it to Veloso in time to see DTSQ. Despite most every venue being relatively pocketed in the same area, Veloso is quite a ways away from everything else. By the time I make it over to there, … More Zandari Festa — DTSQ @ Veloso
Day 2 of Zandari Festa began late for me. A string of back-to-back interviews and a (mostly successful, if you count going in completely the wrong direction but finding your desired restaurant successful) search for food meant I wasn’t able to see any performances until the night showcases started. Luckily for me, my first show … More Zandari Festa — Galaxy Express @ KT&G Sangsangmadang Live Hall
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times: Korean women are tough! This is not up for debate. I’m not going to harp on it. If I did that’d be the only thing I’d say about my first Zandari Festa experience. Whatever any of your preconceived notions about the women in the … More Zandari Festa — Billy Carter @ Veloso
Forgive me for saying so, but the very first thing I notice when I walk up to the table for my chat with Ego Function Error is just how absolutely gorgeous everyone sitting there is. There are three women and a young man, and all four of them are just beautiful. Because the lid on … More A Zandari Festa Interview with Ego Function Error
One of the most surprising venues at Zandari Festa for me was Club Steel Face. If you’ll remember from my write-up about HEO’s performance, it’s a nondescript little slice of a building sandwiched between two others. If you know nothing about it, you’ll be shocked to find out that its roof is accessible as a … More A Zandari Interview with Drinking Boys and Girls Choir
Right on the heels of watching perhaps the loudest rockers to hit Zandari Festa, I was blessed the with opportunity to see another band I’d never actually heard of. However, upon arriving in South Korea, their reputation preceded them. There was a big fervor about them as they got ready to perform. the fact they … More Zandari Festa — ABTB @ Club FF
