Recent college graduate/Queen of the Goths Zola Jesus is heading out for a massive spring tour in support of last year’s excellent Valusia EP (TMT Review). Ms. Nika Roza Danilova, as she is known to her friends, was busy last year blowin’ up all over the place. Domestically she released the Valusia and Stridulum EPs (TMT Review). (Internationally they were combined into the full-length Stridulum II.) She rocked SXSW, appeared in NME and Vogue, and was asked by designer Angelos Frentzos to perform during Fashion Week in Milan. She toured Europe and the US, opened for Warpaint, The xx, and Fever Ray, collaborated with LA Vampires, Matrix Metals, and Prefuse 73, and performed at Primavera Club, Berlin Fest, and Pitchfork’s Offline Fest.
Judging from this tour schedule, 2011 looks to be another banner year for Ms. Danilova. You can catch her performing at the Indie-O Festival in Mexico City, and touring alongside the estimable Cult of Youth and Naked on the Vague.
