Following the proper, proper launch of the band last month, Jami Morgan and Eric ‘Shade’ Balderose have already unveiled the next NOWHERE2RUN release.
The pair’s surprise EP BLOODRAVE is out today (Friday, November 21), and is named after the live event series they’ve been putting on with this project. Comprised of seven tracks, it follows October’s What Did You Do? EP and features collabs with Siiickbrain (FLOODLIGHTZ) and Nimda (DANCE TILL YOU BLEED).
Speaking to Kerrang! recently about playing live as NOWHERE2RUN and what a bloodrave entails, Jami explained, “The bloodraves really brought me back to life. They’re basically our touring mechanism at the moment: a rave where we do a NOWHERE2RUN set in the middle of it. We throw the rave. We set up the rave. We book all the acts. We book all the dancers. There are no agents or crew so we grind our asses off. We’re in there at, like, 2pm and we’re not out ’til 5am! But that’s how you make it cool. Someone tried to charge us $1,000 to rent cage platforms for the go-go dancers, so Shade just built some of our own. It feels like the people coming don’t really even know who we are, but they seem to really like it.”
He added that, “Hopefully we’ll get to do something in the UK next year. It’s basically about evoking the nightclub vibe of the movies we like: The Matrix, Blade, Enter The Void, but with added guitar. We’ve had people from 3TEETH and Show Me The Body play. Shaun Lopez from ††† (Crosses) was at one, and Kittie even did a DJ set in Louisville!”
