We are beyond excited to announce that the amazing ’90s riot-goth band, Jack Off Jill, will be reuniting this summer in Asheville, NC, for one weekend only! The band, which is known for its visceral, crazed live shows and incredible albums including “Clear Hearts, Grey Flowers,” is returning to the stage after fifteen long years of silence. “This is not only a reunion,” says Jack Off Jill singer Jessicka Addams, “but a way for us to gather some of our favorite people in one place to celebrate what was and what should have been.”
On Saturday, July 18, 2015, original Jack Off Jill members Jessicka Addams (vocals), Tenni AhCha Cha (drums) , Michelle Inhell (guitar) will be joined by bassist Helen Storer ( Fluffy, Thee Heavenly Music Association) to play at the Orange Peel theater in Asheville, North Carolina.
They will be joined by opening acts JD Samson (Le Tigre, MEN) and Minneapolis’s feminist punk trio Kitten Forever. Guest DJs for the evening include drummer Lori Barbero from the newly reformed Babes in Toyland and Allison Wolfe, singer songwriter of Bratmobile and The Cold Cold Hearts. Special surprise guests TBA.
The band has launched a fundraising campaign to offer rare and exclusive goodies for the fans, as well as help pay travel expenses (the band members currently live all over the world). You can get a special golden ticket to the show along with tons of other rare items and experiences from their campaign here: http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/jackoffjill
Regular Show tickets will go on sale April 24th at noon EST at the Orange Peel’s website: http://theorangepeel.net. They will be $20 advanced, $25 the day of the show.
