Big fan of Mr Nanna. This band name is really awful.

Its like the random band name generator is stuck on "shit-fest".

Looking forward to hearing this.

I take it the name is based on the Morrissey song?

Still, dumb band name.

so glad to hear about this. was it bob nanna who had medical issues a while ago? something to do with his eyes? hope this is a sign hes doing better

supertomato (January 16, 2009)

it was a form on cancer. lymphoma maybe? but i believe he beat it and then it came back in his eye or something awful like that having to do with an eye. but i believe he is fine.

SloaneDaley (January 16, 2009)

the second time it wasn't lymphoma I don't think, it ended up being something else. Either way he beat it and thats the important thing.

Best news of 09 so far.

Mammoth (January 16, 2009)

This band should have been finished 7 years ago.

IAmJetBlack (January 16, 2009)

Hopefully, they will pull a Davey von Bohlen and make a new band that is even better than their old one, cuz Hey Mercedes was pretty sweet.

DrGunn (January 16, 2009)

i'd hate to be like certain people i know.

McHank (January 16, 2009)

Stoked! Any band with those two guys will be QUALITY.
