Flying Nuns

This is the story of a group of friends who started a band called Flying Nuns in Connecticut in 1989 and became popular in the fertile Boston music scene of the late 90’s. Why should we care now? Because this is also the story of a band at their creative peak, a band that has continued to evolve, mature and reflect the world around them while strengthening the musical bonds between them. This is despite the fact that the Nuns now come together from all over the country to play gigs. Kevin Sweeney (bass/vocals) lives in Seattle, Washington, Pat Lynch (guitar) in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Tony Velez (drums) is in the musical hotbed of Orlando, Florida. The new release from Flying Nuns, Everything’s Impossible These Days is a testament to the fact that their relationships, both musically and personally are more vital then ever. Since forming, Flying Nuns have consistently maintained the values of the post-punk pre-alternative bands that they admire- bands like Mission Of Burma, Big Dipper, Wire, The Birthday Party and Pixies. All bands that, like Flying Nuns, sound as fresh and exciting as they did when they formed.
Flying Nuns released several singles in the early 90's and a three-song EP on the London label Go! Discs. The Pilot EP was released in 1995 on Matador Records. The band was one of the last bands to get signed before Matador hooked up with Capitol Records and when the deal was done, they were let go. The Nuns admit that being dropped by Matador initially tore the guts out of them but the band as a whole is still extremely forward thinking. In fact it seems that rather than being a could have been great band they approach their music as could be even better. 1998 saw the release of an eponymous EP on Spinning records. Produced by Brian Dunton (Helium, Dumptruck) The Flying Nuns was meant to herald the release of a full-length album (the bands first) and showcased a darker and more raw Nuns. It is now April 2002 and that highly anticipated album Everything’s Impossible Now These Days is being released by Q Division. To look at these facts is to imagine that Flying Nuns are yet another band hurt creatively by record label machinations and a contracting and contractually trying music industry. The truth is that they have found creative challenges in all their collaborations and freedom in their obscurity.
