For Those Who Didn’t Survive

Tonight I’ll be performing “Medusa” for the first time live at Wilmington’s Ladybug Festival, a festival with performances by 30 female singer/songwriters.

This performance is dedicated to the memory of Audrie Pott and Rehtaeh Parsons, two teenage girls who committed suicide after photos of them being sexually assaulted were published online. 

Audrie and Rehtaeh were ostracized and bullied by their classmates.  Many victims of sexual assault endure the same treatment.

As a sexual abuse survivor, it is important for us to remember the ones who didn’t survive.

I dream of a world free from sexual violence.  And I’m not just dreaming.  

I am screaming.

For these girls, for survivors and the ones who didn’t survive.  For every child.

Thank you for listening and for standing with me.  Everything I write, sing, and do is for you.

Delaware’s “Zombie Girl” Noelle Picara to release Debut Album

Noelle Picara is known to electrify audiences with her passionate style of theatrical piano rock and to “masterfully mesh beauty with death” (Hockessin Community News).  Following the successful release of her single and debut music video, “Zombie Girl,” Noelle is starting production on her first full-length album.  Noelle is excited to collaborate on the album with drummer Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls.

Noelle says, “this will not be an album for casual listening.  I want to push people outside of their comfort zones, to make people question the things we fear, our ideas of sex and power, and what it means to be a living and broken human being.  This album is for intelligent, passionate listeners who want to step into their own power and experience something truly transformative.”  The album is expected to be released in the fall of 2014.

To be the first to hear Noelle’s new songs, see her at the Ladybug Festival in Wilmington, Delaware on July 18th.  She will be unveiling her “Medusa” character, the first of several new costumes to compliment her sexy and terrifying performance art.  For more information, visit http://www.noellepicara.com
