Christine Moritz was mentioned
in the November 24, 2009 edition of "Nightlife Agenda: This
Week in Nightlife," a feature in which Washingtonpost.com's Fritz
Hahn, Rhome Anderson, and David Malitz share their entertainment recommendations
for the week.
The excerpt:
Thursday, November 26
Over the past eight years, British studio wizards Henry Binns and Sam
Hardaker have assembled a cast of musicians to craft engrossing albums
that could be classified as down-tempo electronica, but which buck the
constraints of genre. On tour, rather than cryptically fiddle with knobs
onstage, Zero
7 (listen)
employs a New Age orchestra of sorts to translate the complex productions
into epic sonic experiences using computers and effects units as well
as the standard guitar/bass/drums/keyboards/horns lineup. On top of that
are the powerhouse vocals of Sia Furler and Sophie Barker, the original
engine that broke the band into the mainstream. Zero 7 is currently touring
with Eska Mtungwazi, a force in her own right in the U.K.'s trad jazz,
nu soul and broken beat scenes. Local DJ Christine Moritz opens tonight's
show at the 9:30
Club.
