NERVOUS GUYS – 2ND SHOW EVER!!! @ RAT TRAP HOLYOKE (DECEMBER 1)
NERVOUS GUYS will be performing at Rat Trap in Holyoke on Friday, December 1. The great Fugue State (on the Strange Mono label) out of Pittsfield and Snake Box plus MORE will perform on this fine evening.
Nervous Guys is a trio consisting of members of Johnnie & The Foodmasters, G. Gordon Gritty, and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. The group has performed ONCE before at the infamous Cold Spring Hollow in 2009 and are reportedly excited to be making a return to Western MASS. They’re committed to only playing shows outside of Boston. Nervous Guys are a 100% tribute to the legendary Bay Area budget rock group Icky Boyfriends. The Icky Boyfriends formed around 1989 and played their first show opening for The Melvins. They cleared the room. and have been described as abrasive, ungodly, and sometimes unlistenable.

JOHNNIE & THE FOODMASTERS APRIL 2023 NORTHEAST TOUR!
AMERICA’S MOST CHAOTIC MALT SHOP MEMORIES SEXTET HIT THE ROAD
Johnnie and the Foodmasters have announced their first tour of the Northeast!
Johnnie & The Foodmasters is Boston’s wildest oldies cover band. Formed as a trio in 2015 at the infamous Allston Speed Trials outdoor festival, the Foodmasters quickly evolved into their current six piece lineup known locally for their improbable yin and yang of pop perfection and shambolic noise. The Foodmasters put their spin on Stax, Sun, and Motown classics alongside frenzied ’60s garage rock. The result is immaculately messy, but plain old fun. The Foodmasters always strive to create a one of a kind experience and are beyond excited to charm the Northeast whilst on tour in April!
