“We moved to California during the gold rush; we pawned our gold for guitars and rented a space on Turk Street in the loins of downtown San Francisco. Amid work and school, we devote a portion of our week to making music; this portion religious people call the "sabbath."” nodzzz
"This is the album Pavement would have made if they were formed in the U.K. in 1982 instead of 1989 in California. (Actually, the Nodzzz are from California circa now.)"
Damian Abraham
"Like the Feelies or Modern Lovers before them, the group wears its quirkiness as a kind of badge of honour" Pitchfork
"The band Nodzzz, from San Francisco, thinks harder, worries more and sings earnestly about how life goes by too quickly." New York Times
"Clearly inspired by Jonathan Richman's quirky madness" - The Guardian
Nodzzz are California kids - Sean Paul on guitar, Anthony Atlas on bass, and Eric Butterworth on drums, with Pete Hilton as forever auxiliary drummer, now stationed in Bulgaria in the service of the Peace Corps- kicking out primitive hook laden pop songs that boast no fidelity.
They're sweet dudes with an even sweeter sound, first honed on a killer single called "(I Don't Wanna) Smoke Marijuana" b/w "We Are the Only Animals," released on Eric's Make a Mess imprint. Barely three minutes long, each side tore the face off of the last days of 2007, revealing a candy skeleton that had the Modern Lovers' teeth marks in it.
Nodzz’s self-titled debut is ten songs clocking in at just under 16 minutes. It’s lo-fi pop based around the simple American pleasures of baseball, road trips and late summer.
The Band will be releasing ‘Is She There’ on digital download only single on 10th August prior to the release of their self titled debut for What’s You’re Rupture on 24th August.
They're in and out before you know it, having firmly planted the catchy melodies between your ears.
