| Pleasant Sweaters |
 |
Nels' very first show and, up until now, the highpoint of his musical career, was opening up for the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players at the Seattle Drum School Christmas Party (was it in 1998, maybe?). He had pretty much stopped performing live when he moved to Boston in 2006 to further his studies. Michael Louis toured quite a bit as a solo artist once upon a time but hadn't done much recently either. He was probably seeing a show at T.T. the Bear’s in Cambridge when he realized how much he missed playing music on stages. Nels may or may not have been there that night. Michael (of New Jersey) and Nels (a Seattleite by birth and pose) had been playing together for the past year for fun and decided it might be even more fun to form a band. And so they formed a band. Mutual friend Jaron Shevy (of upstate New York) was recruited to play drums and regularly disrupt practice by covering 90s alt-rock hits. Tyler Triggs (of Ovieda, Florida), Nels' neighbor, joined the band after playing bass with the three during an alcohol-fueled jam at a party. Nels' housemate Jackie Bernstein (of Long Island) asked if she could join the band and "do whatever." Thus, with a splash of drink, a dash of cohabitation, and an inability to throw their hearts entire into their dayjobs, a band was birthed. Pleasant Sweaters' songs meander from rather raucous (“Late Night Conversations About Egon Schiele”) to a bit mellow (“Falling in Love with Friends”), from finished ("Top of the Pops") to incomplete ("Untitled"--most of Nels' songs). Pleasant Sweaters are the friendliest drunks you'll meet and really not much of a punk band at all. |
