November News

Gettin' down to the end of 2015. What a year it's been! And the party's not over...

Last month we started cutting tracks for the 7th Nu Shooz album: BAGTOWN. (Songwriting began a year ago.) Our friend Sean Holmes was in our studio recording demo vocals over the last few weeks. Here's a little video of him cutting the backup vocals on the title track now...
 

We enlisted our son Malcolm Smith to do the cover art, and he did a fantastic job integrating the 'bag people' into his drawn world. It fits the music perfectly. And what is the music like? John says, "It's a cross between a 1979 Toyota and an American breakfast: two eggs, hashbrowns, and sausage patty...with a side of wry."

We're looking to serve that up around the 1st of May.

Watch as the artwork comes alive here...

In the meantime, if you're in the Phoenix area this month, we'll be at the Arizona State Fair with Lisa Lisa, Debbie Deb, Stevie B., and J.J. Fad. That's Saturday, November 7th. Should be a GREAT show.

That's all for now. For those of you who heard about Malcolm's car accident, we're happy to report that he's fine and fully recovered and suddenly has the ability to converse in fluent Croatian.

Just kidding.

Love,

Valerie and John

On The Road: Behind the Scenes Video from The Freestyle Tour w/Lisa Lisa, Exposé, Trinere and more…

From Valerie's iPhone it's our nu YouTube playlist - "NU SHOOZ On The Road." In this video it's the Super Freestyle Explosion Tour in Stockton CA w/Exposé, Debbie Deb, Trinere, Lisa Lisa, Johnny O, & Stacey Q and more...

On The Road

We had an amazing summer full of shows with both our full 8 piece band and the Super Freestyle Explosion Tour. We feel so lucky to get to travel and play with so many great acts and musicians. We wanted to share some of these experiences with you - so Valerie started making little movies on her iPhone. So far we've got Philadelphia, Stockton CA and Las Vegas in our "On The Road" playlist on YouTube. Hopefully we'll get YOUR city in the mix someday soon!
