Bands & Artists : NERVOUS WRECK

MrGreen writes"

Nervous Wreck is a three-Piece alternative rock band now based in Melbourne.

Previously, Nervous Wreck were based in New Zealand, and it was here that they achieved moderate success including supporting some of New Zealand’s top bands such as The Datsuns, Head Like a Hole, Stellar & Tadpole.

Nervous Wreck regularly plays at venues in and around Melbourne including, The Evelyn, Armadale, & Cornish Arms.

They have had radio play on Auckland’s Bfm and “The Rock,” Hamilton’s “The Generator,” and Australia’s Triple J, Triple R, PBS, 3NRG, 97.9RIMFM as well as television appearances on Television New Zealand’s “Good Morning New Zealand” and “Russ Kellet’s Melbourne” on Channel 31.

Musically they have been compared to Muse, Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead with songs ranging from soft haunting melodies to more fast paced pop/rock, right through to crunchy powerful rock songs. Their shows involve several visual effects that compliment the overall atmosphere of the band.

“Where other bands rely too heavily on one or two spotlights and a smoke machine for effect NW take several steps forward and offer slide shows and light ropes which saturates the venue with a perfect creative energy. Their attitudes both on and off stage resonate total perfectionism & professionalism which will carry them as far as they wish to go.” E Knox – Indie Initiative Review

News : Each Revolving Door have emerged from the ashes of ...

scottyerd writes"HOTEL 44 ! On the 16th of September 2004, HOTEL 44 decided to change the band’s name and thus, image. HOTEL 44 decided after parting ways with previous singer Luke Morgan, that HOTEL 44 did and would not portray their future goals and potential. After much deliberation, the band with new singer JAY, decided upon the new name “EACH REVOLVING DOOR (ERD)”. This new name means that throughout everyone’s life, your mind reacts and creates revolving doors. These revolving doors become memories, times past and more importantly the experiences which make human being “human and alive”. The new name will see the band progress through its future career. http://ww.eachrevolvingdoor.net/ http://www.hotel44.net/ "
