Biography

Nudeswirl was formed in 1988 by Shane M. Green, Chris Wargo, and original drummer Mike Toro in New Brunswick, NJ. They released an independent full length LP in 1989. In 1992, they signed to Megaforce Records and released their self-titled CD in 1993. They toured with the likes of White Zombie, Danzig, Flotsam and Jetsam, Mindfunk, and performed on the '92 Lollapalooza side stage. Videos for "F Sharp" and "Buffalo" appeared on MTV.

Known for their dark, earthy atmospherics of guitar feedback, abusive attacks of wah wah, tribal/tuetonic rhythms, rolling melodic basslines, and wavering, lyrically obscured vocals. Combining musical styles from Rock to Metal, from Alternative to Psychedelic, all the while infusing their own signature feedback tapestry throughout.

Nudeswirl never reached their full potential as they disbanded in 1995 after their only major label release. Considered a cult band, almost 20 years later, many new bands on the scene such as the likes of Tool and RadioHead cite Nudeswirl amongst their influences and they have been hailed by Perry Farrell, Jon Frusciante and the Edge as well. Nudeswirls' CD has been out of print, which relegates them further into the depths of cult obscurity. Guitarist Dizzy went on to play with The Mad Daddies. Vocalist/guitarist Shane went on to play with SlapRocket and Lord Sterling. Bassist Chris Wargo formed his band LoveGas and opened Gas Works recording studio.

The last known performance by the band was a reunion show in the mid 2000s at The Court Tavern in New Brunswick, NJ. A video exists of the band playing the Dynamo Open Air Festival in Holland in front of 30,000 people and an MTV Europe interview exists as well. As of 2009, there has been talk of a Nudeswirl reunion on their fan-run message boards.
