About Me

The Touch-Me-Nots are a husband and wife 2-piece rock n' roll combo from Oakland, California, USA.We used to play as half of a 4-piece band, but when the other members left that band, we decided to carry on as a 2-piece, rather than go out looking for new members who might also eventually leave the band.The Touch-Me-Nots record themselves on a cassette 4-track. Considering our ineptitude behind the dials, we don't think our handiwork sounds half bad. If you think our songs suck, smoke a turd in hell. We are constantly recording themselves to improve their engineering skills.In June 2006, we released our debut 3-song 7" and it is already out of print. You still may be able to get them from Soundflat or Matador.We just had a 10" released by Yakisakana records and a 7" on Nasty Product.We are releasing an lLP on November 9th, 2007. Ordering details coming soon.Reviews: Now Wave http://www.geocities.com/nowwave/records/tmnrr.htmlYou can get to know us more than you ever wanted to by reading an interview here: http://www.smashintransistors.homestead.com/knots.html
