Unplugged in Berlin
Hailing from New York's queer club scene, Neva Demure will perform the unplugged version of her new album Antidote at Pogo Bar.
Neva's latest single Trauma Curl marks a striking departure from the hyper-pop sounds that defined her previous music. This evolution goes beyond a mere sonic shift - it's a redefinition of her artistic identity. With her analog production, Neva trades the glossy, energetic facade of hyper-pop for a more personal and tangible style, focusing on live instruments and stripped-back vocals instead of Auto-Tune and electronic beats.
Neva Demure's debut EP Shame to Vengeance (2018) put her on the New York club scene with her tongue-in-cheek, hypersexual lyrics. In contrast, Antidote offers a raw, chaotic and intimate glimpse into her world. Her new sound pays homage to the 1990s and MTV Unplugged shows by mixing contemporary electronic and dance influences with alternative rock. The album describes a personal journey with confessional lyrics that address issues of mental health and the transfeminine experience.
Antidote will be released on April 11, 2025. While preparing for a loud and electronic release concert, Neva and her band will play the quieter sides of her album at KW's Pogo Bar, where they will perform acoustic versions of the album with a five-piece band in the brick basement.
Neva Demure (born and raised in Seattle, USA) is an emerging artist from Berlin who is redefining electronic and alternative music. Her recent releases include the single TIGHTLIP (2022) and the EP Shame to Vengeance (2018). Between 2022 and 2023 she was part of the music duo Too Fated.
