Nanette the band

So we have some good news, some bad news and some other good news.

The good news is we are honoured and delighted to be playing Day 2 of New Friends Fest on August 4th alongside some of the best bands in North America. Get yr weekend passes ASAP because its going to be nuts: https://www.facebook.com/events/304910866712863/

The bad news is that this will be our last show together for the foreseeable future. A little over a year ago Kai decided to step away from the band for a moment to focus on other projects, and between then and now Van has been accepted into a post-grad program and is moving back home to Simcoe County at the end of summer. So that just leaves me (David), and since I am busy finishing up school myself Nanette is not seeking new members at this time and is effectively on hiatus. Thanks to everyone who booked us, played with us, loaned us gear, ubered us, watched us, bought a tape, wore our shirts in public or was generally aware of our existence, it means everything.

The other good news is that while we have been relatively quiet for the past year, we have also been slowly working on a new EP with our good friend Dean Snowball (Huge Cosmic, Piper Maru). It is currently in the final stages of mixing and fingers crossed will be out sometime in July! Album art, titles and all that are forthcoming--but for now we can say that it is comprised of 5 tracks, the majority of which are longer than 3 minutes, and it is the best material we have ever written. We're anxious for y'all to hear and hope as many folks as possible can come out to New Friends Fest to see us perform one last time.

~SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT~

To raise funds for the recording of our new EP we are having a PWYC (pay what you can) sale over on our bandcamp merch store, from now until the end of Summer. Shirts, cassettes and buttons are all starting at $1, plus free stickers and a download code of In Pectore with every order!!

Check it: https://nanette.bandcamp.com/merch

P.S. if you are local to Toronto you can pick up your order directly from us near Bloor & Dufferin

Absolutely gutted to hear the news of Soybomb HQ getting unexpectedly shut down. Collectively we have spent countless hours there watching bands, eating snacks and hanging out on the roof. We had the utmost privilege of recording our EP there as well as playing one of our best ever shows last spring/summer.

Right off the bat a huge thanks to Paul, Mat and Vince, whose hard work made our new EP possible (Obligatory link: www.nanette.bandcamp.com/album/in-pectore). "In Pectore" in Latin translates literally to "in the heart" and figuratively to "in secret." Our hearts go out to y'all, and everyone else who has shared, reviewed and listened thus far.

MERRY X-RAY EVERYBODY

NEXT THURSDAY Thrilled to be playing with one of the best bands in the genre FRAMEWORKS alongside our amigos in Big Evil and Terry Green
