**Holy Sun Opera House record release show with Lia Braswell and Pony Sweat** Holy Sun Opera House creates emotionally engaging and haunting symphonic music embellished by electronics, heavy drums and synthesizers. Their shows feature a revolving cast of collaborators, singers, and performers. The group has been described as “Opera Cult” and as one who would play at the Roadhouse in Twin Peaks. They draw influence from early Dead Can Dance, Fever Ray and Klaus Nomi. Lia Braswell is a Los Angeles–based musician, songwriter, and producer. With over a decade of international touring experience as a drummer, she has performed across nearly every continent and appeared at major festivals including Coachella. Braswell’s debut solo album, Rising, marks her emergence as a primary songwriter, unveiling an ethereal dream-folk sound that emphasizes atmospheric melodies and introspection. Pony Sweat is a fiercely noncompetitive dance aerobics practice created by Emilia Richeson-Valiente. We are inspired by queer-punk-feminist thought, music-fandom, and collective effervescence. Our goals are to cultivate freedom of movement and thought, to take care of ourselves and to take care of each other. Come as you are, all ways, always! Presented by El Cid. This is a 21+ event
