PIERA in Ritual Form, Unleashes a Powerful Cosmic Sound Experience Transfixing Audiences at the Canyon Club in Agoura, Opening for ABC

Music Review for The Hollywood Times
By Jodi Jackson
Los Angeles, CA (The Hollywood Times) 11/18/21 – On this spectacular night, the Pop Synth Duo PIERA made their mark opening for the 80’s iconic super group ABC, with a stellar, riveting, haunting performance of all original songs.
This passionately art-driven duo came on strong with inexorable tribal beats and ambient psychedelic electronic sound that swirls in a mosaic of effects, with effortlessly powerful, haunting, and mystical vocals, soaring above the sea of sound with commanding presence. The audience,  predictably, went wild song to song.
The show was captivating. PIERA has created a truly authentic, original futuristic sound, yet it has retro elements spanning from the past decades of the best electronic music.
Its retroelements are there …like an old family recipe, you can taste it and identify it, it brings back memories, but at the same time what they are doing is very new and cutting edge.

PIERA is the kind of act you would expect to see moving crowds in local festivals like Substance LA and in venues such as Das Bunker…those crowds would eat them up, and yet it seems simultaneously they are on a trajectory towards cultivating a broad global audience.
PIERA just came off from 6 stellar shows, opening for 80s iconic synth group, Berlin, on August 7th in Montclair, and The Untouchables and Bow Wow Wow on September 3rd in Santa Clarita (both at The Canyon nightclubs in SoCal), and on September 10th headlining at The Silverlake Lounge, and was just part at the iconic Punk Museum founder, Tequila Mockingbird’s “Sunday Club”, at the Oracle Tavern in Downtown Los Angeles on September 26 as part of her annual Dada Bauhaus Masquerade Ball, and opening for Oingo-Boingo on October 8, at The Canyon in Santa Clarita, and this show opening for ABC in Agoura.
In December they will be opening for 80’s Chart Toppers – A Flock of Seagulls again at The Canyon Club in Agoura.
Almost instantaneously, PIERA has carved their own niche and established themselves as one of LA’s most promising pioneering new acts to watch. They are cultivating a new sound blending psychedelic, indie-synthpop, krautrock, Avant-Garde, and industrial pop.
