  • Bio

    Chicago needed one more band. So, after having closed Let's Get Out Of This Terrible Sandwich Shop, Thea, Tom & Tony recruited Nicole from Unicycle Loves You to answer the demand. 3,000 emails and 14 practices later, they settled on a band name that may not jump sharks. The Nurse Novels.

    Hi!
    I wish I could teleport and go to your gig tomorrow,
    but I still have not learned how to do it.
    Such is Space-Time...

    Have a good time!

    In a perfect world (or a slightly fair one, anyway) Let's Get Out of This Terrible Sandwich Shop would have more merchandise than Misfits and Kiss put together! How about a Sandwich Shop back patch for my sleeveless denim jacket?

    Sure looking forward to seeing you (Las Lágrimas Amargas) guys...

    Hopefully The Nurse Novels wont be far behind!
