Jonneine Zapata is considered one of the most exciting, intense and compelling artists to emerge from the Silverlake scene in Los Angeles in many years. An extraordinary live performer, she performs in Australia with her full band for the first time in October.
“Jonneine Zapata has a stare that makes men cower and weep. She is the closest thing to Jim Morrison in the Silverlake scene and her live show is mesmerizing.” (LA Record)
“To listen to Jonneine Zapata’s new record, ‘Cast The Demons Out’ is to listen to a record with an intensity I haven’t heard since Springsteen’s Nebraska. To see her live is to feel you heart and lungs filled with the smoky intensity of a performer whose passion knows no boundaries.” (The Dumbing Of America)
“Her arrival was announced by her debut, “Cast the Demons Out,” one of the most compelling releases to come down L. A.’s musical freeways in recent months. It simmers in places and boils in others, roiling in the same dark undercurrents explored by the likes of Johnette Napolitano and PJ Harvey.” (Buzzbands LA)
“Having just completed a tour with Mark Lanegan's Soulsavers, she drew rave reviews who compared her with everyone from PJ Harvey to Jim Morrison. Already, lots of major labels are interested in her - be warned Jonneine Zapata is a future superstar.” (Rough Trade Review)
This is one of those tours where in years to come you’ll be able to say “yes, I saw her first tour – can you believe there was a time when she actually played venues this size.”
