The Near Misses

The Near Misses is a 4-woman electropop band & experimental opera comprising an original song cycle based on true near-death stories. There is accompanying dance and movement as well as sound collages from first-person survivor recordings. One performer plays synth/keytar, another performer plays cello, violin, and accordion, and percussion comes mainly from an oven, a ladder, a pile of leaves, and keys.

The Near Misses shifts expectations of what a band can be and takes the audience on a journey from individual to collective impact of trauma and memory.
