Zoviet France to play first US date in 10 years
6 August 2001

San Francisco indie label Neurot Recordings launches an experimental music performance series next week at the city’s Great American Music Hall. Running four days starting 16 August and titled Beyond The Pale, 14 bands will play including UK industrial/ambient act Zoviet France for their first US show in 10 years. Their performing lineup—which has evolved continually over the band’s 21 year history—has not been revealed.
    Tokyo’s Zeni Geva will also play, marking their stateside return after five years. Their new album 10,000 Light Years came out on Neurot Recordings in May.
    Members of SF Bay Area noisecore band Neurosis hand picked the festival’s lineup, which has garnered praise from Swans founder Michael Gira and producer/musician Steve Albini. Neurosis’ new full length A Sun That Never Sets hits stores tomorrow for the US, and follows their 1999 album Times Of Grace.
    Also playing Beyond The Pale are Amber Asylum, Michael Gira (Swans, Angels Of Light), Isis, Scott Kelly (of Neurosis), KK Null (of Zeni Geva), Oxbow, Tarantel, The Thrones, Steve Von Till (of Neurosis), Shellac, and others.
    The entire four day festival will be aired by Foothill-De Anza Community College radio station KFJC at 89.7 FM in the Bay Area, and available on the Internet here. | festival info | | Zoviet France fan site | | Zoviet France full discography | | Zeni Geva on Southern Records | | bio | | discography | | top of page |
