This band began as the Adrian Piper Cover Band, where Nadia would do “pop covers” of text excerpts from Adrian Piper’s seminal video installation Cornered. It mutated into DUBAIS during an art residency where the first song STEP BACK was written and recorded with a cellphone, inside of a video feedback loop, in a bathroom. From absurd synth covers to bedroom pop songs about dating the devil and murdering him , Nadia’s music jumps from genre to genre, being thread together by a strong DIY Aesthetic and video art that spans over installation, performance, visual albums, experimental pop operas, etc.
