MARCH 6TH - FIRST SINGLE - HOW DO YOU FEEL?
FEATURING ROSIE FLORES
Thank you Mike Watt for having us on The Watt From Pedro Show!! Thank you so much for spinning our records. Kick back, take out that backgammon or kick up a wild game of canasta and tune in and listen to us discuss the origins of passive aggressive psychedelic music, dressing up like kiss for an audience of young Albanian children in lower westchester, getting booed off the stage at “Streets” in New Rochelle, Punk rock, getting lighters and batteries thrown at you onstage in the 80’s, Terry Allen on eight track, graveyards, barn jams, Nocona and parents from Lubbock, Johnny Cash at radio city music hall and the absolutely critical influential role of Watt, The Minutemen, Firehose and my cousin’s band, Peglegasus, on NOCONA’s musical development. Basically, listening to this radio show is how you want to balm and calm your election day anxiety.. It’s a journey, an epic and an odyssey through, not only some bitchin NOCONA tunes, but also the always varied and eclectic choice cuts from our hero Mike Watt!! -- LISTEN HERE
NOCONA (Los Angeles, CA) wrestles with good and evil in their upcoming single “How Do You Feel” out March 13th.The 4 piece powerhouse offers a dirty roots, barroom, rock and roll gem that features rockabilly legend, Rosie Flores, on electric guitar and vocals.
NOCONA is Chris Isom (vocals and guitar), Adrienne Isom (bass), Matt Brundrett (drums) and Elan Glasser (harmonica). For the past 12 years the band has held down the cowpunk scene in Los Angeles and stood their artistic ground while posted under the alt-country indie-americana canopies. The anticipated single - and forthcoming full-length record (summer 2026), is NOCONA’s first new music since 2020. The music was recorded live with the full band in the studio, their own rhythm section serving as a metronome. Their signature sound has become increasingly brooding while the production clearly shows an evolutionary growth of a band hitting its next peak.
The topical pertinence of “How Do You Feel” is a resonant theme. How do we judge people? How are we judged? Most importantly, how do you feel when you see someone get away with murder? With an artful intellectualism seldom conveyed in popular music, NOCONA turns sharp ideas into great rock n roll songs and you come away feeling like you’ve found something special.
Avast, ye scallywags! NOCONA will be hoistin’ the black flag and settin’ sail for the 10th Outlaw Country Cruise! The most notorious outlaw voyage ever to haunt the high seas! Only a handful o’ bunks remain,so lay claim yer spot now or be marooned like a lily-livered land lubber!! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
