NODZZZ

" 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's Myspace

These guys NODZZZ are playing with Wavves for two shows in Brooklyn after Wavves' Feb 5 date at Bard College mentioned previously so maybe they'll be playing at the Bard show too. Also on those Brooklyn bills: Blank Dogs (who I've been digging), Woods (who I've heard of but haven't investigated) and Gary War [who I've never heard of (but is actually very cool - listen to "Highspeed Drift" and "Clouds Went That Way" on the Myspace)]. Anyway, NODZZZ has a fairly compact sound: tame punk structures, whiny rock n roll, blasts of buzzing guitar. Perhaps a bit straightforward, but the Black Lips do that and everyone likes them.
