Zanias

Zanias plays Cherry in Seattle on Thursday, October 15, and Friday, October 16. It's a two-night stand, so if you can't make one, you've got a second chance the next evening. Both shows are part of a run of eight dates that takes them through Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Hamtramck, and Hilliard.

Zanias is an ethereal wave act, and they describe their sound as sitting at the intersection of ethereal wave and post-industrial. If you're not familiar with the terms, ethereal wave is a subgenre of darkwave that leans into atmospheric, reverb-heavy textures and melodic vocals, while post-industrial pulls from the colder, more mechanical side of electronic music. Putting them together gives you a sound that's both airy and grounded in something a bit more rigid—the melodic, floating side of the ethereal meeting the harder, rhythmic edge of the industrial.

That's the core of what Zanias does, and it's what they'll be bringing to the stage at Cherry. The two Seattle dates are part of a larger tour, so this is one of eight stops on the run, which also includes Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Hamtramck, and Hilliard. If you've been following them, you know the sound they've been working with, and these shows are where you'll hear it live.

So, Zanias at Cherry on Thursday, October 15, and Friday, October 16. Two nights in Seattle, part of an eight-date run that takes them through Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Hamtramck, and Hilliard.
