Say She She (w/ Salt Cathedral & DJ Trumastr)
October 13, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
$22.24Say She She, the soulful female-led trio, stand rock solid on their discodelic duty with their boundary breaking sophomore album Silver.
The three strong voices of Piya Malik (El Michels Affair staple feature, and former backing singer for Chicano Batman), Sabrina Mileo Cunningham and Nya Gazelle Brown front the band. Following the NYC siren song, the trio was pulled from their respective cities — Piya from London, Nya from DC, and Sabrina from NYC — to Manhattan’s downtown dance floors, through the Lower East Side floorboards, and up to the rooftops of Harlem, where their friendship was formed on one momentous, kismet eve.
Silver was entirely written and recorded live to tape at Killion Sound studio in North Hollywood earlier this year and produced by Sergio Rios (of Orgone). While these analog recording techniques help root Say She She’s sound in a bedrock of tonal warmth that only tape can achieve, it is also their process of cutting the track in the moment and capturing the magic of communal creativity that has seen their sound described as “a glorious overload of joyful elation and spiritual elevation” (MOJO) and “infused with the wonky post-disco spirit of early ’80s NYC” (The Guardian). Musical inspirations include Rotary Connection, Asha Puthli, Liquid Liquid, Grace Jones and Tom Tom Club.
Ultimately, Silver oozes with quirk and adventure and embraces the multifaceted nature of what it means to be a modern femme. Say She She fully embrace their role as beauticians, actively reminding people of the inherent beauty in the world. They skillfully employ double entendres and humor to encourage open dialogue and fearlessly address important matters that demand attention.

Salt Cathedral are the genre-defying, New York City based duo comprised of Juliana Ronderos and Nicolas Losada. Celebrated for their ability to fuse elements from the vanguard of electronic music and a scope of global rhythms, the band creates an inimitable sound that is as accessible as it is adventurous. They are both originally from Bogota, Colombia, and met while attending the same jazz school in Boston. Soon, they began releasing a series of acclaimed EPs, singles, and their debut album, CARISMA, in 2020. The music pushed against the pillars of indie pop and Latin music and attracted attention from major publications like Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, NPR, Nylon and many others.
