Jesucrisis Official

Info/ Background on the U.S. tour w/ Two Witches and Jesucrisis tour in Finland:

           Jesucrisis posited the invite to Two Witches to be part of a North-South Gothic-Deathrock US tour after The Flatfield (Helsinki) could not make the original commitment.  Two Witches immediately embraced and began their planning by late October.  

Nevertheless pleased to salvage the tour arrangements, we were also honored and excited to actually do something no agent had ever done before for this legendary band, pioneers of Finnish gothic rock-- bring them to the East Coast (as well as Mid-Atlantic and Midwest region) of the States for the first time in this 35th anniversary year!  Jesucrisis hosted them in our home, the Witches used our equipment and we made sure all needs would be met.  More significantly, what we are very proud of is that Lisa agented and carried out all the meticulous tour details, with five presenters over the course of a year, successfully ensuring a financially viable commitment that many bands struggle to receive even from professional agents.

Both related tours (Finland and States) were independently conceived, promoted and coordinated by Lisa and our band Jesucrisis-- in the same spirit of the ultra unique and indie Lumous Gothic Festival in Tampere, Finland that Jyrki Witch founded and was at the helm of for over three decades before its concluding show in '20.

March 30  '23 we kicked off the US tour with Night of the Dark Underground, as Jesucrisis returned to Pgh Hard Rock Cafe, presented by Drusky Entertainment.  (Jesucrisis opened for Christian Death there a year prior).  Jim Semonik of Distortion Productions was a special vendor this night.  A month prior, an Interview of the two bands by DJ Cadaver Kelly was livestreamed (and added to her YouTube channel afterward).

March 31 we drove to  Akron, Ohio to play the new space Afterlife, built by David Schweyer, who kindly allowed us to use equipment (saving a pricey van rental for first weekend).  The space is a renovation of the old post office building--a space for artists and largest stage within 50 miles. It was a unique party for sure and we welcomed Witches and Ohio goth fans there in the near Midwest!  

-- A little foray to Niagara Falls, Niagara Gorge trail and the old French Castle at Fort Niagara took place for all five musicians to round out the first weekend, with some desired sightseeing --

Then April 6 was to Washington DC to play The Public Option, presented by Vanguard DC (made up of DJ Bella La Blanc and Johnny Panic).  We loaded up the large rental van and took off for the East Coast gigs.  Once in DC, Johnny played tour guide and host, offering accomodations afterward at his home with lovely wife Erin.  

April 7 was Sanctorium Philly (Jay & Matt, who are pictured in our foto under the Raven at the Edgar Allan Poe House ;) .  They presented us at The Fire club in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia.   Jay Sector was the first of the East Coast to put out invite and Lisa was appreciative how it got the ball rolling!  Special thanks to dear old friends and Pgh punk rocker Mike Michalski and Lovinda Weaver for taking the whole crew into their home to down our Thai meal pre-gig, impossible otherwise in a no-parking crowded city!

April 8 was a wrap up at none other than The Red Party at the Mercury Lounge in NYC.  What a way to end, on Easter Sunday morning yet;)  Appreciate Sean Templar & Mandana having us!

Our Facebook (Jesucrisis as well as Two Witches and Marko Hautamaki) and instagram pages (lisamilesviolin_jesucrisis, Two Witches & Jyrki Witch) chronicled textually and graphically the blast that we had, and no better way to comment on the venues and performances than to suggest a peek (or more) at our YouTube channel (Jesucrisis Official), where we have extensive vids up under the Performances playlist area (easily navigable), including at least one (for now) of Two Witches performances as well.  (More of theirs can be found on their fb page as well as under some of Vladi's fb video posts throughout the tour (Vladimir Munoz Ortega Aucaman).  

All event graphics/ posters are found on our Jesucrisis Performances page of this website.
