“YOU DON’T KNOW ME BITCH”: 15 Things You May Have Never Known About Buzz Band Nu Sensae’s ..Brody, Daniel and Andrea.

We sent our own Chelsea Robinson out into the youthful swarm of kids who filled the Blacklodge to see Nu Sensae in June of last year and the part that stands out the most in her show commentary was … “This band kind of fucking rules you guys”,  and that feeling has seemed to have caught on. Now signed to Seattle’s own Suicide Squeeze Records; the buzz is only growing.  Written about in national publications such as Pitchfork, Vice and Spin and countless others, the future is looking bright for this socially aware (read about Daniel’s non-profit Aids Day Music Program he started) and hard-working band. But don’t let the goodness of their hearts fool ya. This band is making some serious fucking noise, and are leading the charge for punk bands around the universe to get the proper recognition that’s well deserved. So check them out at Chop Suey  this Sunday March 3rd with the amazing Broken Water and Haunted Horses. (Click here for tickets).
