Noothgrush

Noothgrush formed in the spring of 1994 with Gary on Bass and vocals, Tom on guitar and Chiyo on drums. All were in other bands which weren't doing anything at the time, and thus Noothgrush was born. Luis Davila soon joined as a second bassist, and began collecting equipment including Orange stacks, Moog, Echoplex, Timpani, and an overhead projector with oil and food coloring. In early 1995, Luis announced that he was leaving to join Melting Euphoria, and after the next show, Tom quit, leaving the band for dead. The only person in attendance at that show was fellow DJ at KFJC, Mr. Hate (aka Russ) who offered to take up the guitar post, leading to a thriving band which would last for 6 more years. Matt Harvey also joined in on second guitar for a year in the early years, only to be replaced by Gary on second guitar while Al Ruel took over the bass duties also for a year. We have played 145 shows, toured the U.S. and Canada. Noothgrush will play three 10 year reunion & record(s) release show on August 15th 2011 in San Francisc, Ca. and August 18th in Seattle, Wa. and October 22nd 2011 @ Gilman st in Berkeley, Ca.
