NEWS: RONiiA @ Westgarth Social Club, Middlesbrough

RONiiA (pronounced row-nee-a) is the new collaborative project from members of American folk band Dark Dark Dark, electro noise band Marijuana Deathsquads and nomadic electronic project FUGITIVE, and is as atmospherically engrossing as you’d expect. DDD’s Nona Marie Invie’s haunting vocal backed by tight electronic beats and eerie sampling produce songs with a spine-chilling and unsettling ambience. The songs from their debut album, released in January, are infused with dejection and heartbreak; dark, inventive and tense.

Presented by ever-reliable promoters The Kids Are Solid Gold, the band’s forthcoming gig at Middlesbrough’s Westgarth Social Club on Wednesday 18^th March is one of only three UK dates, and is certain to please fans of dissonant and atmospheric electronica.
