Nightmare River Band - Episode 071
"We're just four guys having a good time. We come in all different shapes and sizes. If you cut us, we bleed. If you don't cut us, sometimes we bleed anyways. Especially when the weather is dry. We are very susceptible to bloody noses."
That is basically the only bio we could find on this week's CRUMBS Café featured band, The Nightmare River Band.
They are a relatively new band in the scheme of things. The band started, as do many things, at the end. When lead singer/ songwriter Matt Krahula's previous band, Fire Flies, decided to part ways, he decided to steel his favorite musicians from other popular NYC bands. He quickly recruited Seth Faulk, the drummer he had worked with in Fire Flies, and they started to piece together the rest of the band. (In Fire Flies, Seth and Matt had scored a top 40 hit in Germany, won first place out of 6,000 bands in an international battle of the bands, and opened for Pink!, Gogol Bordello, Ingrid Michaelson, Mika, Regina Spektor, Langhorne Slim, Kimya Dawson, Robyn Hitchcock, Mondo Daio. They also had several media placements including a commercial for HBO/ Time Warner Cable, a spot in the new SIMS video game, and the theme song to FX's TV show, Fire House.)
Seth and Matt soon enlisted Kris Hayes, guitarist from NYC alt-country band, The Designated Drivers. With a thumbs up from Kris Hayes they decided that "Tall" Andy Tekverk was the perfect match for this ragged group. Andy had spent the past few years in the NYC band, The Freams (formerly known as The Kelly Project). The Freams have shared the stage with legends such as James Brown, as well as George Clinton and The P Funk Allstars.
