Connolly, Dave Shuford, Jason Meagher, Pat Murano, Matt Heyner, and Michiko. Side projects of various members include
Angelblood, Eye Contact, Izititiz, K. Salvatore, Enos Slaughter, Suntanama, Egypt is the Magick #, Test, Coach Fingers, Under
Satan’s Sun, Amolvacy, and D. Charles Speer.
Their recordings have previously been released on their own in-house label, Sound at One Records, and all recordings have a
“S@1” catalog number. Their early records appeared on labels like Ecstatic Yod and New World of Sound, while singles have
been released on Dry Leaf Disks (UK), New World of Sound, and Ecstatic Peace. Their first studio album was Sticks and Stones
May Break My Bones but Names Will Never Hurt Me, produced by Jerry Yester (of the Lovin’ Spoonful) for John Fahey’s
Revenant Records after a particular interest on Fahey’s part. NNCK took a definite step into consumerist recordings with Qvaris
on 5RC described only as an experiment that could be undone if the band so decided. « hide |
