In our 14th instalment of “Stumbled Upon”, we meet Sydney ‘s latest indie pop offering Nova and the Experience, and chat about being mistaken for drug dealers in New York.

www.novaandtheexperience.com
Facebook / Instagram / Twitter
Genre:
Pop / Indie
Members & their roles:
James- Singer, guitar, teller of dad jokes
Anna- Singer, keyboardist, crazy character
Jake- Bass, looking like a turtle
Laurie- Drums, arguably the best looking guy in the band (this actually isn’t him answering this)
What music or artists inspired you?
Coldplay, Jack Johnson, Pink Floyd (not that you could really tell)
How did you/the band get started?
Laurie and James both used to volunteer at an animal shelter in Newcastle, saving mainly abandoned domestic animals. James knows Anna because they came out of the same lady at their time of their respective births. Jake we found wandering the street.
How would you best describe your live show:
Like opening a fresh, completely full, bag of chips.
What shows do you have coming up?
We have a bunch of Sydney shows in Jan.
Tell us about your latest release:
We released a song called We Made. We shot the film clip of just us running around New York when we went there last October. There is a part during the last chorus where u can hear a guy come up and ask us if we are selling weed while we were in the middle of filming. Not sure why he thought we were the best people to ask…..
Where can I get your music?
iTunes & Soundcloud
