The Nuns: Whisky a Go Go, L.A.

SOMEHOW THE NUNS manage to transcend the traditionally (like in "traditionally moronic") rivalry between San Francisco and LA. Perhaps that’s because the Nuns are as much a New York band as they are a San Francisco band. And when I say "a New York band" I’m not just referring to the fact that several Nuns are born-and-raised New Yorkers. Bluntly, what a New York band is — and what the Nuns are — is a band that approaches the New Wave through their instruments and their lyrics (i.e. — they are a musical band first and foremost.)
