Doctor Nerve

About Me

NEWS: Doctor Nerve, Dither Guitar Quartet, and Todd Reynolds solo at Le Poisson Rouge, NYC, July 12 2009 !!! DOCTOR NERVE has been annihilating the boundaries between heavy metal, contemporary music, and improvisation since 1984. Founded by guitarist/composer Nick Didkovsky, the band plays tightly composed, complex, extremely energetic, fast-changing music, executed by a white-hot team of musicians, each of whom have carved out their own niches in New York City’s new music scene.
