About Me

Loe & the Nastys is a fresh new voice in the Twin Cities. Their original music fuses the improvisation of jazz, the structure of popular music, and an acute sense of group interplay. They draw their influence from artists such as Thelonious Monk, D'Angelo, Jill Scott, and Erykah Badu. The group has performed at the Fineline Music Cafe, the Loring Pasta Bar the French Press Jazz Café, The Kitty Cat Club, the Loring Park Art Festival and other local venues. In April, they're tunes were featured on youtube.com as soundtracks for visual artist Phil Hanson's. Recently, Loe & the Nastys produced its first full length CD. The four songs above were recorded live on May 18th of 2007 at Custom Recording Studios. To contact the band, e-mail [email protected].
