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!
While I was being productive doing drum tracks yesterday my esteemed bandmates held a contest to cram as many gummi bears into Justin’s mouth as deemed safe by our producer.
OK, we so we have a fun contest for you guys. Show us your artz skillz! Draw a picture/comic/photo of you or the band doing your part to fight bad music and email us the attachment or link to info@nocorock.com with the subject “Contest.”
You can doodle something in MS Paint, draw it freehand and scan or take a picture of it, as long as it’s reasonable quality. We’ll judge them all, probably laugh at most of them, and pick some winners. Not artsy? Don’t worry, here’s an example I drew of my beefy superhero alterego chucking a grand piano at a cliched RIAA lawyer.
One grand prize winner will receive a pair of tickets to see us play at Celebrate Fairfax this Saturday. The ticket is also good for all the other acts playing including Blues Traveler, The Fixx, Tone Loc, and Phil Vassar! Two other winners will receive a pair of tickets to see us at Recher Theatre on June 20. If we get tons of really good ones we may award some other merit prizes like free shirts.
We’ll stop accepting entries as of midnight EST Wednesday June 3 and announce winners by noon on Thursday. We can’t wait to see all of them.
Disclaimer stuff: Please keep the file sizes under 500k for anything emailed, and only submit JPG, PNG, GIF, or BMP. You can enter as many times as you’d like, but limit is one prize per person so be smart and have your friends mail in your other entries for you.
