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.
