LIVE REVIEW - Pride Fair Day

“We promised the crowd entertainment and dance the crowd off their feet, is exactly what Zia managed to do at the 2007 Brisbane Pride Festival. Playing to a 2000 strong crowd, Zia accompanied by her band and dancers, kept the audience moving to some amazing sounds, filled with gutsy bass. The Festival extends a very big thank you to Zia and the crew for helping Fair Day celebrate it’s 18th year in style.” Kylie MitchellFair Day Coordinator

Live Review Cut & Taste

“Cut and Taste presented “Pop My Cherry with Pride” - the alternative after party. A sweet mix of Australia’s best underground Dj’s ( Feisty, Kylie Rose and Keith Duddy) supported by …the first guest the enigmatic pint sized performer Zia. I have been hungry for live dance in a night club setting since I experienced it in a fab day club in London, yet I have found it lacking on most Brisbane club menus.


Zia didn’t let me down, with a rich performance full of flavour, she definitely rocked the house. Framed by a burning light show she belted out tunes that could have easily been the white labels in our favourite Dj’s cases.

All the ingredients were there, dirty beats, a fat bass line and just enough vocals to get your groove on, Zia was definitely a highlight for me.”

ZIA Underground SINGLE Review - QNEWS

Zia who recently performed at Big Gay Day maybe short in stature but is very powerful in voice and guitar talent. This is one amazing track from one amazingly talented lady. The Craig Obey remix on the single does enhance the track but more so it re-enforces the talent and the sound of this great guitar driven track. A brilliant release from an artist that is destined for bigger things.

ZIA at BGD07 Live Performance Review - QNEWS

Zia’s energy was electric as she took to this year’s Big Gay Day stage. I was amazed to see her tooled up with a bass guitar, not what I was expecting for entertainment on Gay Day’s usually Drag and DJ filled entertainment bill. Thus equiped she led us into the track Ritual. Her bass playing is great, strong and melodic, mixing plenty of slaps with very strong flow, really getting the crowd moving.
Zia then followed with the two tracks of ‘luuurve’, City of Love (in which whe was joined on stage by a dancer with flaming orange hair) and Lucky Love. Both of the tracks are energetic dance music, with City of Love to be remixed by Craig Obey and Lucky Love remixed by Matt Foxon, Ken Sheppard, and one of Brisbane’s favourite’s, DJ Ish.
By this stage the crowd were really jumping, and when Zia announced a tribute to the late Billy Thorpe there were many cheers from the massess. Unleashing her successful single Underground, and joined onstage by two dancers it was enough to get everyone dancing.
Zia put on a brilliant show, with a good selection of tracks and plenty of groove. If the response from her performance was any indication, her new tracks for 2008 should go off just as strong.
