PHOTOS: Anita Velveeta and Dremm
Photos of Anita Velveeta and Dremm at Siberia 10/30/24 and other stuff
Last week, I saw Anita Velveeta perform at my favorite venue in New Orleans, Siberia alongside locals Walmart 2, Dremm and Panama Papers.
I’m feeling exhausted this weekend after a long and weird week so I wanted to keep it light this week by just sharing these photos I shot. I’ll plug a playlist of songs to check out by the artists mentioned if you want to check them out (with a couple of other tracks I’ve been spinning lately).
I also mentioned Anita Velveeta last week but seeing her live gave me an appreciation for her as a DIY artist making touring work by being a one-person show. She’s got a commanding stage presence and knows how to engage a crowd. Despite an overall small turnout, she still riled up and worked the crowd into some pretty memorable moments. Like at the end of the set, when she set up a few folks from the crowd to fight over her mic while screaming into it.
Her discography is pretty varied with all sorts of genres like nightcore, mathy emo and folk but her most recent LP, i saw the devil in portland oregon has a mix of all her styles.
I highly recommend Dremm’s Bandcamp for their most recent album as they sound best there. A lo-fi sludge two-piece, Dremm occasionally flirts with dreamy shoegaze (hence the name maybe?) but mostly writes concise driven punk with explosive guitars and visceral drums.
Quick photography aside: Turn up brightness on your device for best results!
