VASARIA! :: tanna

It was my privilege earlier in the year to be invited to perform with NYC's premier goth metal band Vasaria at their Europa Club show in late February.   The timing was tight because the gig was right after I returned from my California trip, but I was very interested in doing the show.  First of all, I had never danced live to this type of music, and it was too good of an opportunity to pass up.  Second, I LOVE the Europa Club!   This great, multi-use (art gallery/stage/bar/ dance floor/etc.) Brooklyn venue is one of my all-time favorite clubs.   Lastly, but most important, I was sincerely impressed with Baron Misuraca, the multi-talented front man for Vasaria.   Despite his initially intimidating presence, Baron is an extremely pleasant person, and a serious, dedicated professional.   It is always a pleasure to work with competent and organized people, and despite the novelty of the situation, I felt very comfortable preparing for this gig.

When show time came, my expectations were actually exceeded.  It was a total blast!   Vasaria and their fans were wonderful!  I enjoyed myself tremendously throughout the entire evening, which included a very late dinner at Planet Thai after the show with my dear friend Lina Jang.    Of course, it is thanks to Lina's talent (and high-end equipment) that I have some photos to share!  The venue was obviously quite dark, and I had some difficulty staying in my spotlight.  Still, another benefit of this show was that it gave me the opportunity to wear my beloved "snake priestess" costume, AND to use my leopard-print wings for the very first time.
