   About The Nematoads
The Nematoads, a trippy, twangy, four-piece modern surf band from Austin, straddle the line between ..60s retro cool and tall-in-the-saddle Tejas twang. Behind the reigns is guitarist Ted James – the legendary man with two first names – who, in bygone times, led Johnny Vortex and Squid Vicious.

The rhythm section stars bassist The Pope and drummer George Pestana. George treats his drum heads like the skulls of his arch enemies, pounding them into submission and kicking them while they’re down. The Pope adds to the melee with his bitchin’ sense of groove that gives the band the spring in its step and the spice in its chili. And speaking of gas, the Nematoads have a new tiger in their tank: trumpeter Tiger Anaya, a herald of good things to come.

The Nematoads' pasta-fueled excursions embody the sound of The Third Coast, the vibe of the street with a 5-o’clock club beat. This is modern surf with a heart that beats all – six-string action blends the classic sounds of the Ventures and Davie Allan & the Arrows with the surf-punk of the Dead Kennedys, the twangy madness of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, and the sonic attack of the Pixies. Of course, we can't forget our Texas roots!

Catch the ironic hypersonic wave of the Nematoads live and prepare yourself for a very different type of Austin show. The Nematoads: ..60s surf cool with Texas instrumental rock.

  • Holy cow! This is a magnificent album, full of exceptional music. Great writing, huge drama, and wonderful arranging. The songs are picturesque, and it’s all about spaghetti westerns. Imaginative and well developed, and very hard to put down. Phil Dirt, ReverbCentral.com

    Ted James, head honcho at Deep Eddy Records, has been in a variety of bands over the years. They've all been good, but I'd say The Nematoads is his best yet. Five Guns West features 15 great instros that mix Texas twang with spaghetti-western and Spanish flourishes. They also blend traditional sounds with modern ones, with songs that start off familiar, but then go in a direction completely unexpected. The mix of guitars, bass and drums is augmented by horns and other instruments. Sean Berry, Continental Magazine
