"Goodnight Gracie", say it!
'(Say) Goodnight
Gracie' is the brainchild of George Burns. Yeah, we stole his quote.
But so did some gangsters. And like the gangsters, we use it in a
different context. Because when Gracie dreams; everything turns a
different shade of grey, see? So you better say 'Goodnight Gracie' and
we will dream for you.

History
You could say that
Gaz and Wytse are the core of the band. They've been planning to start
a band together ever since the Lowlands festival 2001. They started
playing with Pepijn, the drummer from 'High Feather', as 'F.A.R.T.' but
they wanted something else then just retro rock 'n roll. After Gaz
broke his wings (overloaded his arms) there was need for a substitute
guitarist, so Mark from the punkband 'Fuzzy Hairball' was invited and
Gaz just focussed on singing and songwriting. We got into contact with
a drummer living a town away via a friend. Joost, former 'Hedone'. But
he quit after 2 sessions, just 2 days before our first gig. So we
s*cked Joey's dick, and did the gig, with him. Joey has agreed to stay
with us till we find a new drummer, and we are so grateful because we
can keep playing instead of lying still.
The band known as FART still exists, but it is more of a leisure band.
The gig/pratice ratio was a 1:1. We couldn't really find the time to do
more with the concept. But if the opportunity rises we're allways ready
to play some good old rock 'n roll.

* note: This was an
interview done by Wytse for the occasion of us reaching the finals of
the Gooische Goden band contest. Unfortunately Mark and I were away and
luckily RJ filled in on bass.
People/the media have a knack for labeling bands and stressing, pinning
them down with genres. Admitted; it's easy reference. Let's just say
that we are not (just) hardcore OR emo and maybe just post-indie
something because those are just some of the more important influences
and historical terms and definitions that we do not fit. As Wytse made
clear in the interview, the INTENTIONS of how the band makes their
music is more important then naming.
I'd like to think we're heading for something new. Spread the word,
people, it's NEMO!
