Why this name?
It was Chris's idea...or Evan's. Originally we were going to go under stage names of fabulous philosophers, but that idea was nixed.
Do you play live?
We've played amongst a few battling bands, and Kevin's played solo a bunch, all to warm responce. One time, when Kevin was playing Peter Pachyderm solo, the rest of the bandmates brought out Official Nietzsche balloons and handed them out to the audiance.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives people like us, the unsigned youth, the artists, the people with instruments and pens and voices the ability to come together, form a collective, and steal music without blinking an eye or marring our conscience.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Only if we get payed in the blood of virgins from third-world countries.
Band History:
Hmm...where does Nietzsche begin?
Well, Ev and Kev used to jam a bit and made a couple of discs worth of instrumental material. Chris joined the band in 2002 (?) and we had an idea for an experimental noise band like a less depressing, more loose Sonic Youth. I asked my friend Peter to play percussion, but he never really showed up or anything, so I guess he's not in the band. But anyway, Chris and Ev have another band, Green, which they put a lot of work in to, so Kevin was left to work on the songs mostly alone. What developed was all over the map.
Since Chris and Ev went off to college and Kev was left stagnating with his collection of music, more people...pretty much anyone that Kev knew, was recruited to play. Ralph, Charly, The Pan, Katie and Cody (of The Sea Cliffs) are all in. In theory, they'll contribute something.
...and they have! Songs like Norton the Magnificent would be nothing but a twinkle in Kevin's eye if it weren't for Ralph and The Pan.

Your influences?
Again, all over the map. The Pixies, Pavement, Radiohead, Sonic Youth, Le Beatles, Stephen Malkmus, and now, more of Mingus, Bird, Monk, and Miles.
Favorite spot?
Robert's Cafe, Bayonne NJ-official sponser of Nietzsche.
