It's your friends at Nu Shooz HQ here. On Tuesday, March 15 we’ll be launching our Pledge Music Campaign in support of our new album, 'BAGTOWN'. Of all the projects we've ever done, this has been the most fun. We can't wait to share it with you! On our PledgeMusic project page you'll be able to pre-order the CD, be the first one on your block to have the digital download, and...we're offering some one of a kind objects and experiences.

The campaign begins March 15th. Please sign up for our newsletter for special pre-sale offers and updates!

For a song to achieve immortality, it's going to need an especially sharp hook.

Sometimes it's a riff. Sometimes it's a melody. In the case of Nu Shooz's "I Can't Wait," it's the sound of Donald Duck scatting through a vocoder.

God knows what the keyboard preset is actually labeled. But you'd recognize it before the prominent bassline, or even the title. It wasn't even the band's idea—a Dutch DJ threw it on a remix—but it was the missing piece that, in 1986, propelled a regional Portland hit into a global smash.

2016 is shaping up to be a banner year. We're in the midst of making one of our most fun and funky albums to date - BagTown - and can't wait to share it with the world in May. We've got some great shows coming up too! February 26 we’ll be in Boca Raton FL playing for the first time ever with Debbie Gibson, A Flock of Seagulls, Information Society, Wang Chung, and Modern English for the ‘Reunion: The Ultimate 80s Concert.’

Check out this Spotlight Interview in Scarlett Monet Magazine where we talk with Al Mauro about how we met, what keeps the music alive, and where we're headed. Starts on page 16. Thanks Al!
