We have been around for about 2 and a half years playing all over Oklahoma and rocking anyone within earshot of us.
Why this name?
We named our band after the coolest kid in recorded history: Nolan Young
Do you play live?
We play all around Oklahoma.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It takes the control out of the hands of the radio and puts it in ours. Up until the internet, the DJ's chose what was cool. Now that the internet has made it so much easier to gain publicity, we can listen to who ever we want!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes
Band History:
It all started way back when. We were young, we were lost, but we loved music. First, Dale, our lead guitarist, asked Will McDonald to play bass. He turned out to be great. Within the next year the drummer broke his wrist while skating. Frantic to find a new drummer, we asked some friends. John Damiani fit the criteria in more ways than one way. The following May, we recorded our first demo. Max Gagliardi was recruited to play rhythm guitar that night. We played a few shows and had a lot of fun. Even with newcomer Max Gagliardi's amazing talent, we still felt we were missing something. That something was our long time friend Scott Richter. Scotty Bo Botty, as we like to call him, joined the band as the synthist. So we were created. We were.. The Nolans
Your influences?
We all mostly listen to different music but some of our main influences are The Who, Motion City Soundtrack, The Reunion Show, The Anniversary, and Weezer.
Favorite spot?
Mackinac!
Equipment used:
In addition to 2 guitars, a bass, and drums, we have 2 Organs, 1 Moog, 2 Keyboards, and a Keytar
Anything else...?
We love you
