The Novels

We're Very Paper Cliche'

About Me

Formed in the summer of 2006, The Novels are comprised of four very nice well groomed gentlemen, and a lady, who bring that " Hey guys, let’s GO!" attitude and spirit to their music. In response, their fans tend to smile. And dance. And give them rolls of nickels. Featuring Jason (he of Bourgeois Heroes and never, ever pays retail (oh, he’s asking us to ask you if you wouldn’t mind carrying his amplifier at the next Novels show)), Roger (voted by Ian as "America’s Favorite Drummer" and formerly of ye ole Runner & the Thermodynamics). Michael (he of several notable Ct. bands including Dremble Wedge and The Vegitation and was also a child gameshow wiz), Ian (he a Party Wolf, a low budget, action-movie director and paper mache legend) and Danielle (she is of, well, The Novels and nightly, sees the place errant lads go when they die.). Collectively present: THE NOVELS!
