It’s official… here is our new drummer:

You’ll get to know Will more as time goes on.  Please welcome him!

Rock!

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!

Thanks!
Jack

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.

In the meantime, you can download most songs for free here: http://www.thesixtyone.com/noco

I’m off to Atlanta and then Charlotte. Come say hi if you’re nearby!

The Internets Sure Are Tricky!

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!

NoCo Save Children!

The caped rockers take time out from producing epic tunes to rescue children at risk of succumbing to bad music and flying off a gorge!

Time flies when you’re laying down awesome tracks in the studio!

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:”

Download Man Sandwich and view the lyrics

You can also play it in the player in the upper right corner of the page. Here’s a full track listing from the upcoming Sparkle Patrol:

1. Man Sandwich
2. Glitter Child
3. Butter Me Up
4. He’s Not Gay, Just Heterosexually Challenged
5. Behind the Times (and you)
6. Dressed to Thrill
7. Cockfighting
8. Simply Fab
9. Dancing King
10. Turn Me On Then Turn Me Around

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.

Love,

Glitter Squad

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.

Hey guys and gals! Our show tonight is postponed until some time next year due to zombies!

Yes, that’s right NoCo HQ is under attack by the undead and we need some time to fight them off with shotgun shells and loud rock music. I’ve also heard it’s snowing outside but I’m too busy reloading and typing with the other hand to see.

Please take care of yourselves today and we’ll update you later on rescheduling the show.

Jack and Justin got together to wish all you fans and friends a happy holidays and exchange gifts. Thanks for nothing guys cause I didn’t get dick.

Also, Jack’s Jewish?
