Artist History Born over 4000 years ago in a village just north of Canterbury, the band Nuts Can Surf has played for kings and queens. They were known as soothsayers and prohets. They were spawned from a demigod and the semen of 10,000 dead monkeys and 4 scrolls that were sent to the corners of the universe. The first, the scroll of righteousness; the second, the scroll of light; the third, the scroll of death; and the fourth, the scroll of plastic merged to form a ball of pure energy. This ball of energy has set it's sites on mediocre music. This energy, calling itself Nuts Can Surf has set its sites on the current trend of mediocre music. NCS is the future. Are you ready for the future? Well, actually...... Nuts Can Surf is a band from Chalmette, Louisiana (that's just outside of New Orleans for those who don't know) who has been together in one form or another since 1994. NCS cannot be placed in one category of music because we play ALL KINDS OF MUSIC! We have songs that range from the rock to rap to punk to acoutic to experimental to the just plain weird. There are two kinds of people in the world: those who love us & those who are jealous! --NCS 03.20.00
