Artist History Nudge comes from the city of Vancouver (find it in the Canada section, over in the British Columbia aisle).Nudge has put one independent EP out and that made many fans (force five on the Indie Scale).Nudge has stepped onto the stage with bands like Nazareth (arena show), I Mother Earth (club gig), Tufferest (who cares) and others.Nudge has worked very hard (four years) to make their full-length debut the right debut for you (and their own fragile pride).Nudge has enjoyed the association of some fine players in their ranks, but some could only stay for the first part of the show. Still at the party: Mike Rekka, Mike Carpenter, and Uriah Schneider.Nudge named their album "Geek" because it is autobiographical. All songs were written by the band members.Nudge recorded their album at their own studio, Rocketfish Productions, because they smell odd. The album was produced by Mike Callewaert (Simon Collins, Dogtooth Violet, Fueled by Ignorance), Scott Young and Paul Forster. Only Skye Noise Studios in Vancouver would let them in for a little while for additional tracking if they promised to perform strange acts of hardcore polka. Craig Waddell agreed to master the album at Gotham City Studios only because someone lied to him about their personal hygiene (he won't fall for that one again).Nudge knows that people need comparisons for the purpose of genre comprehension so lets suggest they sound a little like the Dave Matthews Band with a squirt of Foo Fighters and a dash of (early) Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young plus some traces of 1970s vinyl you find at garage sales and pawn shops 5-for-a-dollar.You can contact Nudge the usual ways,Phone: 1-877-222-9991 E-mail: mikerekka@telus.net Regular mail: Box 1552 Prince George, B.C.

Press Reviews "The best darn band in the world!" Mike Rekka (Nudge), "You guys are the greatest rock n roll band ever. Marty Shoults gave me a copy and I loved it. I'll make you guys look better than the backstreet boys in a video no problem. Just keep practicing your dance moves." Nandoor VonTaping (world renown filmmaker)
