Tammy Faye Starlite will present Nico: Evening of Light on Wednesday, September 12 at 7pm at The Art House, as part of the Afterglow Festival, which is curated by Quinn Cox. Featured with Tammy Faye is guitarist Richard Ferdun.
There was nothing simple about Andy Warhol’s muse, Nico — even before she met Warhol, she had her own bohemian legacy. The model-actress-musician had acted in Federico Fellini’s film “La Dolce Vita,” and then — because of Warhol — sang on the iconic 1967 album “The Velvet Underground and Nico,” wrote and performed her own songs, was a famous junkie, and slept with some of the coolest guys around.
When actress-singer-writer T.D. Lang read about Nico in 1983, it was five years before a stroke would cause the hipster idol to fall off a bicycle and die. Lang became transfixed. And now Lang, in the guise of her alter ego, Tammy Faye Starlite, will perform Nico: Evening of Light, when you think the night has seen your mind.
