WELCOME (BACK) TO NOVASOCIAL.COM

IS THIS THE SINGLE?

Happy new year everyone. Yes, you too.

New for the new year from Nova Social land is the FCC-friendly single version of “The History of Entertainment,” from the never-pressed and now-deleted “Ham Sandwich EP,” up for streaming on the Nova Social myspace page.

The uncensored version will appear on “Other Words From Tomorrow’s Dictionary.”

Enjoy.

NOVA ALBUM NO. 2 SOUNDS LIKE MUSIC!

Loyal novasocial.com news readers, we admit that we’ve been giving a lot more attention to our more popular mistress. What can we say? We love you both very much.

However, now is as good a time as any to let everyone know that we are pretty much finished with our second full-length release. We’ve worked sporadically over the last six months at The Clubhouse in Rhinebeck, New York (with a few sessions closer to home at Headgear in Brooklyn) with our dear friend Daniel James Goodwin. The final mixes are done and the songs are:

Diving
The History of Entertainment
Natural Eye Shadow
I Saw Your Car
Laundry Chute
Shine
Fucking the Past
My Teenage Stride
The Jitney
New York’s Glorious New Wave

Special guests include Therese Cox, Ginger Swiston, The HaveNots, and Rich Polatchek.

Title, final running order and label are TBD.

XO,
Nova Social

If anyone’s looking for an excrutiatingly cold February getaway for 2006, we highly recommend Rhinebeck, NY. We were up there for four-and-a-half days last week at The Clubhouse starting work on our as-yet-untitled second full-length CD — 10 songs in under 40 minutes, our ADD increases with every release. It’s a different studio than the one we recorded the bulk of The Jefferson Fracture at, but it still has the same charm, as well as the incredible Daniel Goodwin, one of our favorite people in the world. We got all the rhythm tracks done, most of the guitars, a lot of the keyboards and a handful of vocals. Recording is fun. We recommend it. More later.

We know that it may be a bit trite, but happy new year. So far so good, we hope.

Next week could take everything up a notch, mainly because there is not one, but two NOVA SOCIAL appearances.

They are:

Wednesday, January 19 @ 9:30 p.m.

Maxwell’s

1039 Washington Street

Hoboken, New Jersey

w/ Risk Relay at 8:30 and Skyline Rodeo at 10:30

$6

Saturday, January 22 @ midnight

The Charleston Bar & Grill

174 Bedford Ave (@ N. 7th St.)

Williamsburg, Brooklyn

“Jersey Beat Presents: Nova Social, The Squeaky Fromme, Sinclare and Prankstar”

This is a free show. Jim Testa is a swell guy and The Squeaky Fromme is Styx to our REO (or vice versa).

Also, I’m doing a solo show on:

Thursday, January 20

Pete’s Candy Store

709 Lorimer Street

Williamsburg, Brooklyn

I’m playing with Chris Mills, with whom I had the recent pleasure of assisting in the production of a highly ambitious and extraordinary album. The show is, again, free; I’ll go on at 10 and Chris is at 11. All covers? Or something.

And in February, there will be another live show at Pianos on Friday, 2/18 (opening up for former Buffalo Tom frontman Bill Janovitz and Crown Victoria) and later that month, we’ll begin recording our new album. No really.

CHERRY BLOSSOMS BLOOMING LOCO

hi kids.

we’ve begun the pre-production process for nova social album #2, which sounds exciting* but is in reality lots of vague math and recording 8 seconds of music at a clip (then listening on david’s grade-school-graduation-gift headphones). kris brought pastry, i brought the moet, and next time we shall make our famous absinthe & kool-aid spritzers. rock and roll is serious biznezz. i believe in woman, my oh my.

david is working feverishly on arranging the horns & strings for the next chris mills lp (on which he will also tickle ivories, i believe), and the kendal mintcake (read: i) just completed a nigh unlistenable remix for our friends at kabukikore. studio whizkid jay has been involved with a “chicago style ballad” (deep dish, cheese and tomato) in a studio down in the swamps of jersey, as well. more news on these as it becomes apparent.

we’re making our next show (pianos, 12/18) our last for the year so we can concentrate on the record. as such, it should be a swell time, brimming with blood and swash. we will keep you in “the loop,” as “they” “say.”

enough “kilroy was here” bashing. accept the brilliance, people.

kinky love,

-t. nova

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO NOVA

We are hitting the road for a few days. The road. Road. See the main page of the site for details. Maine! Connecticut! New Jersey! All hail the exotic, erotic road.

NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT?

The updated site is up and we love it. So much, in fact, that we’re giving away free music until you love it like ice cream. September’s free mp3s are a mixed bag of ultimate freaking rocking. Go to the MUSIC page and download away, bub.

BEER TIE-IN COMES; GOES

We were the “Pabst Blue Ribbon Band Of The Week” in The Onion (which we love) on September 9th. On the 13th we played a very, very intimate show to support this media onslaught at the beloved NYC Knitting Factory. Schlock & roll over.

Wuv,
