We’ve got some exciting news for our friends in the DC metro area! As you may know, we were named one of DC’s hottest 5 bands by WUSA-9 and Metromix. We had an amazing show with many of you on Thursday at 19th Bar in DC! It was so much fun that we even convinced Justin to break loose and drink a diet Red Bull!
And now, in American Idol finals format, we will be featured in the finals show TONIGHT (Saturday 7/31) at 9 PM on WUSA-9! If you can’t catch us on DC’s CBS affiliate, we’ll do our best to post some hot clips online for your viewing pleasure later.
After the show, you’ll be prompted to do the cool thing and text NOCO to 25543. You’ll be able to text in votes all the way through 9 PM on Sunday.
No matter where you are, please text NOCO to 25543 at 930 PM TONIGHT! We’ll love you forever!
Everyone did a great job helping to send us to the finals of the CBS WUSA-9 battle of the bands!
Our finalists show is on Thursday, July 29th at 7 PM at the 19th Bar in NW DC. We’re still finalizing all of the details, but if you are there, you’re likely to be on TV when they air the program. Please show up early, in case you have to sign waivers. As far as we know, this is a FREE SHOW!
If this isn’t awesome enough, this will be the debut of our soon-to-be-named new drummer.
Anyway, the show will be broadcast on CBS-9 on July 31st at 9 PM. After the show, they will prompt you to text in your votes American Idol style.
We’ll keep you up to date on all the upcoming details. Thanks again for your support!
We don’t typically ask for you guys to do mindless voting for contests. It’s just not how we operate. They usually make you sign up for some website registration where you give out your credit card info, social security number, mother’s maiden name… we wouldn’t do that to you!
We were recently contacted by WUSA 9 (CBS in DC) and a website called Metromix as were were selected as a Top 15 DC band!
As we typically do, we checked out the situation to see if this would whore our fans or actually be something cool. Surprisingly, there was nothing to sign up for and no catch! Amazing!
So we need your help! Please click this link and vote for NoCo.
We’ll let you guys know what to do next after we win. What WE will do after we win is release a full bootleg copy of a new track off of the new album. Booyah!
After outsourcing our problems to the fine people of India, our free downloads are back up and running!
Also, we’ve got a number of auditions for new drummer scheduled and the new album is moving along excellently. If you were lucky enough to steal a moment at Justin’s laptop at our Jammin Java show, you heard some bootleg samples. If you weren’t lucky enough, then it sucks to be you!
This update is brought to you by the WiFi at Starbucks. I’m on the way back from Atlanta… Off to Chapel Hill and then Charlotte.
If you’ve tried to download our catalog off of NoCoRock.com and reached a crazy MYSQL screen of confusion, have no fear! It’s not you, it’s me.
We’re figuring out what the problem is and will have all the free downloads back up in no time. Sadly, William was the webmaestro, and this will take longer than usual.
We just wanted to let everyone know that our show at Jammin Java on May 18 will be William’s last with the band. We still love him and he still loves us, as shown in taking an array of bullets for Justin.
I’m sure he’ll have some additional comments on what he plans on doing next, however NoCo will continue to stand up for what is good and right in the world of music and Warcraft.
A search for a new drummer and crimefighting hero is underway. We’re happy to receive referrals.
We’ll see you guys on Tuesday, May 18th at Jammin Java! Get your tickets now to say farewell to William!
After some long deliberations and discussions with our producer Scott on the direction of the band, we’ve decided to go in a new direction with our music. The new album is Sparkle Patrol and the band is being renamed Glitter Squad.
We think you’re all lovely people and want to hug you to pieces. We did not make this decision lightly. It became important to us that our music took on a more positive tone and really was a collective reflection of us as individuals.
Scott helped us strip away our walls to discover what our common essence was, and we’ve distilled it down into the new album. I’m very pleased to present a free track to play and download, our new single “Man Sandwich:”
We’ll be having a sale soon on old school NoCo merchandise and then shortly thereafter we’ll have some official Glitter Squad merch available because you guys are 100% fab. Thanks so much for sticking by us.
