The handsome winners at Pocket Jury gave a gracious overview of The Nurse Novels debut long-player, along with a history lesson about yours troolie.
And quietly in the night, without fanfare, my ghost band The Nurse Novels released their debut album. Give it a spin or a purchase.
This is a digital release only*
The Nurse Novels were:
Thea Lux • guitar, keyboards, vocals
Tony Mendoza • drums, keyboards, vocals
Tom Vale • guitar, keyboards, vocals
Nicole Vitale • bass, vocals
America needed one more band. So two men and two women got together in Chicago to form it.
They settled on the name The Nurse Novels. It would have to do.
For one year, the two men and two women focused on making an album. Songs were constructed from the following topics:
Love
Regret
Cruise Ships
Manifest Destiny
Mad Mike Metrovich
Old Friends Overseas
Beauty Shop Meltdowns
Childhood Fears of Death
Escorts at Black Tie Events
Auditioning For Commercials
Sock Hops In Abandoned Buildings
Manson Family Values vs. Gentrification
They decided to name it Frozen Muzak.
The Nurse Novels enjoyed making the album so much, they recorded 11 more songs as a follow up and then mysteriously vanished.
But why?
And when?
Where did they go?
Whatever became of The Nurse Novels?
*In the event that you enjoy physical product, a limited edition Frozen Muzak CD-R with hand-drawn cover art will be available on the Unicycle Loves You Failure Tour this spring.
See me at the merch table.
