In 2009 after 3 albums 4 EP’s, and 5 years of extensive international touring with LOUIS XIV, Producer/Musician Brian Karscig met Anthony Saffery proucer/musician of UK band Cornershop while having a drink in a hotel bar before a gig in Cambridge, MA. “I’ve always been a fan of Cornershop, and have recently seen Anthony playing Sitar with Noel Gallagher on a BBC "Beatles tribute" performance. "I loved “Brimful of Asha” song and video too, so I've always been a fan!!!…. we started chatting and really hit it off. We kept in touch via email and phone, and would regularly send each other mixes from bands we were in the studio working with….I really appreciated what Anthony was bringing to the production of these artists songs…Soon after I sent him some solo stuff I had been working on in between writing for a new LOUIS XIV album, he loved it! We decided to start working on some tracks together by sending hard drives of files across the country, and working out of our own studios respectively. I really love the club/eastern/beat element Anthony does creatively and really wanted to try something different musically on the side".
"The result is a handful of tracks that have re-inspired me, and plan to release them, and call the project The Nervous Wreckords”. In the meantime, “The Nailbighter EP” which Brian and Anthony finished together in Cambridge at the famous Camp St. Studios (Radiohead, Pixies, Lemonheads, etc.) is available Dec. 09 and the EP features Brian and all friends and bands he's worked with over the years, (Mark Maigaard~LXIV, Ray Suen and Mark Stoermer~Killers, Anthony Saffery~Cornershop, Steve Smith~Dirty Vegas) and the full length soon to follow (early 2010) features many more friends.
The Nervous Wreckords have just started playing live with their first shows being the support act for the Killers US Tour Sept-Oct. 09 and were invited to CMJ in NYC. The live band includes Brian Karscg (vocals, guitar), Lindsay Matheson (guitar), Andy Ridley (drums), (Shaun Cornell) bass, and Ray Suen (keyboards).
“I really want to make a record that I want to listen to everyday, have fun and invite as many friends as I can to contribute to the songs. The album and the EP are a dying art….and I plan to do my part to keep making them and keeping them alive”. ~bxiv
