Zepparella
NEVADA CITY, CA - Miners Foundry Cultural Center presents FRIGHT
NIGHT, their annual fundraising event and Halloween bash, Saturday,
October 27th. A longtime local tradition in its 21st year, FRIGHT
NIGHT is best known for fantastic decorations, titillating costumes,
sweet treats, and lots and lots of rock n’ roll. The event not only
brings the community together to celebrate the season, but the
historic Miners Foundry, a hub of entertainment, culture, and
community in Nevada City since 1859.
This year’s much anticipated FRIGHT NIGHT features four bands on two
stages, two full bars, an infamous costume contest that always leaves
the entire town talking, a spectacular light show, a photo booth to
capture the good times, food to keep you fueled all night, plus the
entire Foundry, with its beautiful stone halls and high wood beam
ceilings, festively decorated.
Headlining FRIGHT NIGHT is Zepparella, the San Francisco based
all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band. Zepparella brings the passion,
the beauty, the aggression, and the musicality of Led Zeppelin alive.
Lead by drummer extraordinaire Clementine, the band is also comprised
of singer Noelle Doughty, guitarist Gretchen Menn and bassist Angeline
Saris. The musicianship of the group is top-notch and evident with
their embrace of Led Zeppelin’s penchant for improvisation. Often
performing in angelic white, their live shows are disarming,
mesmerizing, and, well, rocking. The band promises a special surprise
for FRIGHT NIGHT this year.
Also performing are local favorites Achilles Wheel featuring Gary
Campus, Paul Kamm, and Mark McCartney of the Deadbeats, bassist Shelby
Snow and guitarist, singer songwriter Jonny Mojo Flores. Their blend
of psychedellic rock, blues and bluegrass is fresh, lively and will
make you want to dance. Members of Achilles Wheel have headlined The
Oregon Country Fair, The Trinity Tribal Stomp, The Marin Summer Music
Festival, and performed at other festivals including The High Sierra
Music Festival and The Kate Wolfe Festival. Performing alongside
Achilles Wheel are the exotic Troupe Al Ama belly dancers.
Everyone’s favorite party band Mt Whateverest, will rock the Osborn &
Woods Hall with their “astro-noise-space-grunge direct from the
foothills to your skull”, their words not ours! Rounding out the bill
is Persist To Rise, an accomplished four-piece metal band that wowed
audiences at this year’s Battle of the Bands.
