NADUH hosts Homiesexual launch party at Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, July 9
The Vancouver self-produced five-piece girl group celebrates sisterhood, friend crushes on debut EP
NADUH holds its Homiesexual release party on July 9 at 6:30 pm at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden
NADUH IS REDEFINING what it means to be a female supergroup, the Vancouver five-piece producing all of their own music, rather than having that role be filled by men as is so often the case. Featured in Sound of the City, the band is now celebrating the launch of its debut EP, Homiesexual.
The eight-track project’s title is said to represent the musicians’ bond and their journey of “falling in friend-love” during the EP’s creation. While celebrating sisterhood through a mix of retro synths, reverb, and modern instrumentation on the album, the group made up of Taraneh (aka Tee Krispil), Jenny Lea, Rosita Alcantara, Giorgi Holiday, and Larisa Marie also aims to normalize platonic intimacy. The release’s focus track, “FPE 11:11”, tells the story of the band’s inception.
“HOMIESEXUAL is an invitation to love on your friends,” the group says in a release. “We made the project at a time when the world was changing at a rapid pace and we came to understand our role of providing levity in the face of energies attempting to divide; exemplifying the powerful force of unity through the advocacy of sharing intimacy with the homies.”
The EP comes out on July 8, with NADUH performing at its July 9 launch party along with Mauvey and Lowkita. Presented by The Ice Cream Truck, the evening will be hosted Continental Breakfast and will feature DJs HainafromChina and Como Hombre; drag performances by House of Rice; and tattoos, a local vendor market, and more.
