Astra Via – Lone Traveller video
Here’s a video I missed posting when it came out last year. Jarret Nicolay and Olivia Mancini’s band Astra Via made this video for the ballad Lone Traveller from their name-your-price debut EP Folie a Deux. They’re currently in the studio making new music.
Astra Via – Fast Forward video
Jarrett Nicolay and Olivia Mancini, collectively the pop duo Astra Via, just released a new music video Fast Forward (pay what you want download!), the lead-off track of their upcoming EP. This song dials back the pop shimmer of their earlier work in favor of a deeper and more emotional hook. Props to Jeff Nesmith of Gypsy Creative Communications for a music video that compliments the song perfectly.
Astra Via – Push/Pull video
Staying in town this Thanksgiving weekend? DC9 has a great all-local lineup on Saturday night with Addieville, Derek Evry & His Band of Misanthropes, and headliners Astra Via. We told you before about this great pairing of long time DC musicians Jarret Nicolay and Olivia Mancini. Today we’ve got another well-shot live performance captured by the folks at Pick Up Productions for their Blue Light Sessions series. Push/Pull comes from Astra Via’s FREE debut EP Folie à Deux. Happy Thanksgiving DC!
Astra Via – Fame video
Pop duo Astra Via is a local music “supergroup” of Jarrett Nicolay, founding member of Virginia Coalition, and Olivia Mancini, from Washington Social Club and The Housemates, which add up to more than the already substantial component parts. This is the stuff that should be capturing everyone’s hearts on FM radio across the country. The band created a really fun video for the lead-off track Fame, from their FREE debut EP Folie à Deux, inspired by the game Operation.
Catch Olivia with her band The Mates Friday night at the Red Palace on H Street NE!
