Take a look at some of ‘Til Midnight At The Nasher’s 2018 musicians:
June 15 — Dallas Arts District Summer Block Party: This Will Destroy You
Long-running instrumentalists This Will Destroy You will celebrate the tenth anniversary of their eponymous 2008 studio album by performing their record in its entirety. The band will also play the coveted Young Mountain record in full.
July 20 — Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore
Combining two ancient aspects of music — the voice and the harp, respectively — with contemporary technology, Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore are noted for their unusual approach to looping effects. Barwick has stunned audiences worldwide with a sound that’s been described by the New York Times as “churchly and vaguely Renaissance, but also very now.” The former Pew Center for Arts & Heritage fellow is one of the most sought-after harpists in the world, collaborating with the likes of Jarvis Cocker and providing musical accompaniment to artist Nick Cave’s “soundsuits” for the Grand Central Station’s 100th Anniversary in New York.

August 17 — Tess Roby
Tess Roby’s live act includes her brother Eliot Roby on guitar. Having premiered her “Ballad 5” single on the influential Dallas music website Gorilla vs Bear last May, Tess Roby is embarking on her first headlining tour this year. Roby’s single was released by Italians Do It Better, the internationally-acclaimed record label that has had a significant impact on the synthesizer-heavy sound of both dance music and soundtracks of the past decade. Roby’s sound fits neatly into their established roster.
September 21 — Negative Gemini
Negative Gemini is American songwriter, singer, and producer Lindsey French. After moving to Brooklyn in 2014, the Virginia-native released herself-produced debut album Body Work, for her own record label (100%Electronica) earning early comparisons to the likes of Hope Sandoval and Gwen Stefani. With its unique blend of underground dance beats and pop hooks, Body Work quickly found itself the darling of many music publications, garnering critical acclaim from prominent media publications like MTVnew, Resident Advisor and Fader. Already established as a strong female presence in the New York electronic music scene, Negative Gemini’s new EP Bad Baby seeks to write timeless and memorable music on the fringe of pop.
October 19 — Exploded View
Exploded View is led by German-English singer Anika Henderson, a former political journalist who made her name under her solo project, Anika. The artist became well-known for her radical reworking of the music of Bob Dylan, The Kinks and Yoko Ono. Her previous recordings were in collaboration with Geoff Barrow of Portishead. She met her new band in Mexico City and their combination of disco beats, punk and spaghetti western guitar takes Henderson’s already original sound into completely new territory.

November 16 — Chulita Vinyl Club
Chulita Vinyl Club is an all-girl, all-vinyl club for self-identifying women of color, which launched in 2014 hoping to provide a space for empowerment and togetherness. Through their performances nationwide, they have established a movement deliberately choosing to only play vinyl with the goal of activating a musical archive that might not otherwise be shared in the age of digital DJs.
