INDIE POP ROCKERS

NUKE THE SOUP

MAKE A SPLASH IN NYC ON JANUARY 20

WITH A LIVE PERFORMANCE AT

BEST BUY UNION SQUARE AT 4 P.M.

 
The ocean-inspired pop/rock band Nuke the Soup will make their way to New York City on Wednesday, January 20 at 4 p.m. for a performance at the Best Buy store in Manhattan. The appearance is part of the Live at Best Buy series where they will perform songs from their full length debut recording, Make Waves Not War. The major retailer’s live music series is located on the corner of 14th Street and 4th Avenue.

 

Nuke the Soup recently unveiled the official music video for the reflective love song “Blind” from Make Waves Not War on Meteor Records. “Blind delves into the reality of true love by realistically expressing one man’s tendency to forget why he loved, only to grasp glimpses of it now and again,” describes Surfrock.org.

Hailing from Baltimore, MD, the indie band recently caught the attention of Skope Magazine. Their feature story on Nuke the Soup can be viewed here.

The band is also set to play an official party at South By Southwest 2010 on Friday, March 19 at Kenichi from 3:30-5 p.m., bringing their catchy, sing-out-loud tunes to one of Austin’s best sushi spots. 

The band’s first single “Filled with Dread” was one of the most added radio tracks on FMQB’s Triple A chart its first week out. The eleven-track album features top flight East Coast musicians (keyboardist Brian Simms, bassist Mike Mennell, guitarist Rennie Grant) along with drum legend Chester Thompson, who has played with Weather Report, Frank Zappa and on and off with Genesis for more than 30 years.
