"Don't Think Feel"

"Sweden supplied us with many things over the years, from fine thrash metal to garage rock, flatpack furniture to moustachioed porn. It hasn’t been particularly known for quirky indie rock acts but Nervous Nellie are out to change that fact." - Kerrang Magazine

Bio

Nervous Nellie hail from the city of Stockholm, Sweden way of Chicago, USA and Falkenberg, Sweden. Stockholm is where the two pair of brothers live and create, it is here the band battles madness and boredom, it is here the band frolic in love & wonder. This is where their home is, for better or worse.

With the 2004 self-release of "The Peace Pipe EP" (Honkyjonx Records) Nervous Nellie started what would come to be a long lived touring experience through most of Europe playing mainly the underground club scene. Now and then the band found themselves straying from the given path playing shows in the USA on the Vans Warped Tour and opening for more or less famous bands.

"Don't Think Feel" (Go-Kart Records) is a 12-song collection that brings you carefully wrought ballads such as "You, Me & This While", the up-beat yet mournful "Home Made Phone," multi-genre jams such as "Come Down, Find Out," lo-fi indie tunes such as "The World," and high-energy rockers like "Million Dollars" and "No Calls." These are just a few of the gemes Nervous Nellie bashed out for there first European album release back in September 2005.

Even for this record they found themselves travelling like missionaires all over the place before rounding off the year touring with fellow Swedes Shout out louds. With their slacker image and laidback approach to themselves and their surroundings Nervous Nellie have through intense live performances found fans globally. It comes as no surprise for those who have experienced the band on stage, with concerts at times turning into a stand up comedy show gone haywire - who can resist?! Then again, Nervous Nellie are perhaps not for everyone...

The band have started filing away at new material for there follow up album and have already found a new and natural direction for the music without losing their undefinable Nervous Nellie touch. "We have given up on the naive dream of becoming Frank Black or J Mascis, you just can't do it, no matter how many doughnuts you down," says Henrik. "I think we are looking inside ourselves more this time and just playing for the pure fun of it, we seem to find our focus better that way and the outcome is more us" Andy says. The up coming album is a sweet mixture of traditional indie, folk & alt-country served on a bed of classic rock n' roll. Something to look forward to.

A release date for the new album is tba but most likely it won't hit the market until early 2008 due to recording & other preparations.

Their final story has yet to be written...
