The Veronicas @ Summit Music Hall

The Veronicas brought an electric energy to their show on April 10, 2024 at Summit Music Hall In Denver, CO. Kicking off the night was Jesse Jo Stark, bringing the VIIIIBES.

Jesse Jo Stark

An LA-native with a lifelong immersion in rock ‘n’ roll, Jesse Jo Stark’s story seeps through her music. The music is timeless with nods to 70s rock, country, and ethereal pop. In 2014, she worked with former Sex Pistols guitarist, Steve Jones, to record her debut EP, Down Your Drain. Stark reappeared in 2017 with a new single, the moody, Mazzy Star-esque “Drift- wood.” She then released her second EP, “Dandelion”. Following, she went on to tour supporting acts such as Guns & Roses, The Vaccines, and more. The full-length debut from Jesse Jo Stark, DOOMED, is a high-drama movie in the form of an album, the kind of immediate cult classic that inspires unending infatuation.

Over the course of 11 elegantly feverish tracks, the Los Angeles-based artist conjures up an atmosphere informed by her intense fascination with the more macabre edge of the pop-culture underground: Elvira, The Cramps, late-‘80s horror movies. With its in-depth exploration of desire and surrender and newfound self-possession, DOOMED ultimately blurs the edges of truth and fantasy to build a gorgeously warped world wholly defined by Starks own dream-logic.

The Veronicas

Named “the ultimate pop-punk duo of the mid-aughts” by Nylon, The Veronicas have long been recognized for their famed blueprint in songwriting and career of multi-platinum studio albums which expertly balance vulnerability with a bit of rebellion. The hitmaking duo first emerged in 2005 with their now 4x ARIA-certified platinum, debut album The Secret Life of…, which featured hit singles such as “4ever” and “Everything I’m Not.” In 2007, they released their critically acclaimed, sophomore album Hook Me Up, which lauded their first international top-ten hit “Untouched.”

After a hiatus, the duo returned with their self-titled third studio album in 2014. In 2024, the duo will unveil their newest full-length body of work. Titled Gothic Summer, the long-awaited project, which is their first international release in 10 years, finds the duo centered in their creativity as they embrace introspection and challenge societal pressures, shining a light on the truth beneath pop music’s shimmering surface.
