Bright Lights, Headlines

WHO: Local artist "Eira Nori" and YOU!
WHERE: Tisse, at a local night club.
WHEN: Night of Saturday, the 25th
WHAT: It's Live Music night down at your local club, headlined by grassroots electronica artist Eira Nori
WARNINGS: Loud noises.

[For the last week, you may have noticed a number of posters blanketing Tisse advertising the local night club's Live Music night. The most noticeable part was the stark white mask in the center with the name "EIRA NORI" printed underneath. The young artist's name had been getting around for the last six months, known for her talent, her voice, and her incredible secrecy. She rarely makes in-person appearances and never without her mask. But on Saturday night, she'll be playing her set for anyone who wants to listen. So why not come down to the dance floor?]

[c1 - the show]
[The club is dark and full of fog, save for the strobes and lasers hanging from the ceiling. The speakers hum as the last background song fades, and a petite young woman, dressed all in white, makes her way onto the stage. Her face is obscured by a mask, hair covered by a white wig. Before her sits a plain-looking keyboard, coupled with an expensive keyboard hooked up to a mixing station. The girl stands still for a moment. Eyes closed, she clears her throat before turning on her microphone and hitting the play button.]

Alright everyone, time to get on the floor. Let's have some fun.

[The ambient music swells, slowly growing more intense, with Eira providing the accompanying piano and vocals. It's going to be a long set - she might be playing her full album, along with a couple new songs if she's feeling good enough for an encore. Why not come down and enjoy the atmosphere?]

[c2 - meet the artist]
[It's late into the night when the set concludes, and the girl exits as quietly as she entered. She's followed quickly by staff who begin breaking down her setup and moving it back stage. It's not long before she returns, however, making her way to the floor with a towel over her shoulders and a water bottle in her hand. One of the bouncers joins her not long later, setting a box of CDs and headshots next to the artist for her to sign.

For someone who wrote such intense music, she's not much for the club scene herself. She won't be on the floor for long, but she'll gladly step away for anyone who wants to meet her. Feel free to take a copy of her album, February Glo, signed or otherwise. She's not in this for the money, it's all for the good of the music.]


[c3 - youtube]
[Though Eira wasn't fortunate enough to get a Retrospec account, she has a small presence on other forms of social media. If you were already following her, you likely knew about the show already, and if you've decided to seek her out afterward, you'll find that she had uploaded the entire show! Feel free to leave a comment and let her know what you think! She loves to know what her fans think of her performances.]

((Hey all! I'm going to ask that no one recognize Eira Nori as Vera Weisz for at least right now. She's not quite ready to have her alter ego revealed, and will go at great lengths to maintain her secret. Thanks!))

C1 - Also open if anyone else wants to dance

[Sneaking into a night club to have a drink and dance the night away? Yes, she could enjoy that sort of thing. Chloe needed a bit of relaxation after the last couple of weeks, and this was just the ticket. Some reasonably new artist who had a penchant for the dramatic was right up her alley, and so she was busily enjoying herself on the dance floor, the faint flush of alcohol there in her system. Not strong enough to be drunk, but a little pleasantly buzzed.

Loud noise was always a good way to drown out worries.]

[This isn't Arlene's usual club, but the live concert sounded like fun. She'd change her tune if she knew who was behind the mask, but she puts the curious familiarity of the singer's voice down to having probably heard her on Youtube or in a DJ rotation somewhere else.

After knocking down a drink she takes to the floor, a little lightheaded from the deceptively strong alcohol but still light and graceful on her feet. The lights, the crowd, the intense electronic pulse of the music--she's in her element. She didn't bring anybody with her this time, and if she spots somebody cute who looks like they're in the same boat, she might make her way over to them: hey, whatcha doing here all by yourself?

Or, if somebody is giving off especially wallflowery vibes, she may just try to yank them onto the dance floor proper. Come on, it'll be fun, what else are you here for?]

Aw yeah! This party's just getting started!

[So says Kurt as he loudly and obnoxiously takes up one corner of the dance floor. He's pulling out all of his hottest dance moves, which look like this and that. It's a cool enough song, and he wants to be the life of the party, so he'll keep on dancing on his own until someone interrupts him or the show's end!]

c2

[For once, Kurt's the one waiting in line for an autograph. And he's all too excited! He'll chatter aloud excitedly to anyone who will listen.]

Oh man! I've never even heard of this artist before, but I'm so hyped! [Or maybe he's reached the front of the line without even noticing.]

[ Someone may had used her connections to help her with that. She would have asked Vera to come, but... well, she had stuff to do and wasn't quite old enough besides...

...Which didn't stop Chloe. ]

[ Émilie wasn't going to miss the chance to actually meet Eira Nori face to face... more or less. She's rather curious as to who lies behind that mask, but when it all comes down to it, it'd probably be anti-climatic. Besides, nothing wrong with a little mystery, is there? It makes things interesting... ]

[Rachel isn't the type to go to night clubs (or you know, old enough), but she does have an interest in music. So she was already following Eira, having no idea of her real identity - and well, she was happy to see a new video uploaded.]

diamondspell4020 Another great performance! I didn't expect any new songs either, so this was quite a surprise! Thanks for uploading this for us!

C1.) Meet me in the Pit
[ anyone who sees the way Yin is dressed tonight would assume that she walked into the wrong kind of club. in a way they'd be right; this isn't her scene, and she may just be as likely to instigate a brawl in the front row as she would to swing around glowsticks.

but for all her hard rock imagery, Yin is intent on actually enjoying the show. it isn't often one gets to check out an artist she knows from the internet — whom she didn't even think would visit a city like this, much less make a big publicity deal out of it. while her goal and the majority of her time is spent at the bar or at a table, drinking the night away (illegally), she can be caught out on the dance floor for some of the more energetic numbers.

Yin's actual skill in dancing leaves much to be desired, but she's having a good time. so long as no one smashes into her or hits on her openly. after all she's here with someone... or at least walked in with someone.

though being separated from her "date" doesn't seem to bother her, and she'll just chat up whoever is nearby at some point. ]
What kind of live show doesn't use a fog machine. I mean, seriously!

C3.) If you can't say something nice, say it on the internet
im so glad the drum samples sound better live
because seriously
those old videos are hard to listen to


[ Eira's followers will likely recognize this as a familiar sight in the comments section, coming from fellow local musician longwei2go who has her own, smaller YT channel dedicated to drum covers of rock songs. ]

[Oh my god she's replying to her.]

diamondspell4020 No problem! It's wonderful to know you're an artist who appreciates your fans like this!

diamondspell4020 I wish I could have gone to support you in person but this venue wasn't one I could hit up. But I do try to buy your music whenever I can!

sounds like an expensive plan
you gonna be able to do it after giving away so many copies at your shows
clear_eyes: (take a look up)

[personal profile] clear_eyes 2017-02-27 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
diamondspell4020 I can imagine that wouldn't be easy. Most artists wouldn't take that kind of step though!

[Kurt grins excitedly at the mysterious singer.]

Guilty as charged! But hey, tonight I'm just an ordinary fan. And your music totally rocks! [He smirks and gives a thumbs up.] So I'm down for a 'graph!

out on digital downloads :P
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] A smile)

hmm, what is her music like, btw?

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2017-02-27 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Whoops. Hey, she's a fan of Vera's alter ego after all, naturally she'd want a signed CD. ]

Ah, it was better than I expected! Seeing this live beats watching it on Youtube...

[Chloe knew none of all that, but when she saw Emilie, she grinned in her direction and beckoned her over. It had been far too long since the last time the two of them danced, and she was looking forward to a chance to do it again already.]

[Chloe was already on the dance floor, and while she wasn't perhaps what Larxene was looking for, she definitely smiled in her direction and motioned for her to come over and dance for a bit. Surely someone could use a wing-girl for the evening's festivities, or at least someone to cut a rug with for a little bit, right?

Either way, there wasn't going to be that much talking, because the music was definitely on the overwhelming side.]
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] A smile)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2017-02-27 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her friend, of course, was welcome to join her... ]

Hey, Chloe.

C1 - Fun! at the disco
[In the context of the bar scene, you'd be easily forgiven for almost not seeing Victoria hanging around the place. It's not like she dresses to elaborately, mostly in muted colors, and whatever will help keep out the night chill, and she wasn't a major person on the club circuit anyway.

But she was determined to 'get out there' more often. And a couple posters along they way she walked set her eyes towards this place. She's here, she's gotten a drink somehow, she's ready to try and enjoy the evening.

As for the dancing... uh, she's sticking to the corners because haha. But during the more energetic songs, even she's out there, throwing out what few moves she knows.

But otherwise, Victoria's sitting back, watching the show in between remarks and sips of a fruity drink.
]

Definitely worth it.

C2 - Facing the music
[Did she know anything about Eira Nori? No, not especially. She'd seen a handful of posters on the way, and after getting slightly buzzed while enjoying the music she just had to get an autograph!

She plucks at one of the CDs, eyeing over the cover and giggling.
] I liked the music, but there might be something wrong with the CD.
