,….In 2008 after 3 albums 4 EP’s, and 5 years of extensive international touring with LOUIS XIV, Brian Karscig met Anthony Saffery producer and member of UK band Cornershop when having a drink in a hotel bar before a gig in Cambridge, MA.
“I’ve always been a fan of Cornershop, and have seen Anthony playing Sitar with Noel Gallagher on a Beatles tribute performance on the BBC, and loved “Brimful of Asha” song and video!!!…. we started chatting and really hit it off. We kept in touch via email and phone, and would regularly send each other mixes from bands we were in the studio working with….I really appreciated what Anthony was bringing to the production of these songs…Soon after I sent him some solo stuff I had been working on in between writing for a new LOUIS XIV album, he loved it!
We decided to start working on some tracks together by sending hard drives of files across the country, and working out of our own studios respectively. I really love the club/eastern/beat element Anthony does creatively and really wanted to try something different musically on the side….the result is a handful of tracks that have re-inspired me, and plan to release them as a full length LP, and call the project The Nervous Wreckords,”.
In the meantime, “The Nailbighter EP” which Brian and Anthony finished together in Cambridge, MA at the famous Camp St. Studios (Radiohead, Pixies, Lemonheads, etc.) and the band features Brian and all friends and bands he's worked with over the years, (Mark Maigaard~LXIV, Ray Suen and Mark Stoermer~Killers, Anthony Saffery~Cornershop, Steve Smith~Dirty Vegas) and the full length soon to follow features many more friends.
“I really want to make a record that I want to listen to everyday, have fun and invite as many friends as I can to contribute to the songs. The album and the EP are a dying art….and I plan to do my part to keep making them and keeping them alive”. ~bxiv
We’re a rock & roll band from Dundee in Scotland and we thought we’d drop you a line because as of March we’ll all be in the same proverbial boat: traversing the various venues on 6th Street and more than likely staring at some bats under the bridge! We’re coming out there to do as much as possible and meet as many like-minded people as we can so, whenever you’ve got any spare time maybe it would be good to grab some ribs and/or a beer or two?
While I am not happy about the Louis XIV break, I just got your EP in the mail and listened to it and I gotta say, I'm excited about this band! Great stuff.
Thanks so very much for your gracious add and a very good afternoon to you in rockin' sunny California! You have wonderful music on your page and you have great music influences as well. I adore the very clever name of your band! Have a wonderful week, Wishing you and yours a Very Happy, Healthy, and Safe Thanksgiving, many well wishes, blessings, and inspiration to you, and much continued success to you. All best!
