    Rainbow Girls

    Eddie's Attic, 515 N McDonough St, Decatur · verified Sep 18
    See details

    Rainbow Girls brings harmony rich, roots leaning indie sounds to Eddie's Attic. The California group is celebrated for close three part vocals, potent songwriting, and a candid yet polished presence on stage, with a live set that can spark laughter one moment and tears the next. The trio met in Southern California and first came together while hosting a weekly open mic in their college house, known as Rainbow House, then spent early summers busking and couch surfing across Europe. After their drummer departed in 2016, Erin Chapin, Caitlin Gowdey, and Vanessa May embraced a stripped down acoustic setup around a single condenser microphone, a shift that spotlighted their intricate blend and helped cement their standing in the roots scene as their following grew across the United States and Europe through a viral surge on social media. Their 2024 album, Haunting, continues that evolution by reclaiming the word so often applied to female harmonies, using it to express power found in confronting trauma, grief, loss, and fear. The songs move with both intimacy and breadth, tracing resilience through finely layered arrangements and voices.

    Zero Mile and DEF present an all ages show with ZHU, the electronic artist also known as Steven Zhu. Known for pushing the boundaries of dance music and building immersive concepts that live both onstage and beyond the club, he performs as a vocalist and instrumentalist as well as a producer and DJ, blending sleek synths, weighty bass and memorable hooks to create a moody, magnetic atmosphere. His new project BLACK MIDAS marks a return to his dancefloor roots. The songs took shape during a cross country van journey after the Southern California Palisades wildfire displaced him, inspiring a stripped down, on the road workflow and the launch of his nightlife warehouse concept BLACKLIZT. The productions span deep house to melodic techno and feature collaborations with underground and emerging artists. ZHU first broke through when the single Faded earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance Recording. He has continued to evolve through albums, tours and collaborations, including a behind the scenes film recorded at San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral that showcased his storytelling across mediums. His creative world often revolves around the color black, a theme that extends into his NightDay Collection and informs performances centered on movement, energy and a shared sense of release.
