NITE JEWEL: MONDAY FEBRUARY 4 @ Workers Club w/- Fox + Sui + LA Nites DJs. Presented by Mistletone + LA Nights. Tickets on sale now from the venue. Doors open 7:30pm.

Mistletone + LA Nights proudly present a special edition of LA Nites, starring Nite Jewel. Glimmering Los Angeles four-piece outfit Nite Jewel bring their sophisticated, playful jams to the Workers dancefloor for the juiciest of all Monday nights, along with special guests Fox + Sui and the glamorous trashbag glory of LA Nights DJs.

California native Ramona Gonzalez first began her transcendent minimalist dance-pop escapades in the privacy of her own home in Los Angeles. With the aid of her multitrack cassette recorder and whatever keyboards, drum machines, and other instruments that were available to her, she very quickly developed her own unique sound and began performing live in the L.A. area under the moniker Nite Jewel. Later teaming up with Cole Marsden Greif Neill (co-producer of Mature Themes by Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti and current engineer for Beck), Nite Jewel became a four-piece live act, touring with Little Dragon, DaM FunK and James Blake. Nite Jewel moved from Ramona’s bedroom to stages worldwide in 2009, thanks to the nonchalantly good debut Good Evening. Since then, Ramona’s airy voice has found new gravitas and charisma, the synth lines have gotten more agile and the bass pops tighter and tighter, the stuttered 80s synth R&B melodies unfolding into one another in ways both giddy and deceivingly nonchalant. This year’s polished sophomore LP One Second Of Love (out locally via Inertia), is even more impressive, featuring tracks like the angelic, washed out “Clive”, later remixed by Jimmy Tamborello (aka Dntel). Nite Jewel’s collaborative credits are many… from remixing Caribou and HEALTH, to interpreting Kraftwerk’s Computer World with Stones Throw’s Peanut Butter Wolf, to covering Frank Ocean… Nite Jewel is both indelible and sublime.
