Nausia! Fun, Funcky, FROLIX with a capital FFF.
If I'm going to endorse a band that are worth listening to, from a music lovers point a view, Nausia are they, they are it.
Despite overtones of something a lot heavier in the name, who are Nausia? They are one of the few bands, who play on the 'local' circuit, that actually make me want to dance.
Good musicians to a tee, Nausia have an excellent choice of songs - which is different, from the HORRIBLY predictable standard of this area. All they really need to do is introduce more of their own stuff into their set.
In my position, of barman at the Green Jack Brewery in Oulton Broad, I get to hear many bands, who are frankly piss poor, with the occasional gem. Nausea, for F**ks Sake come and listen to them, when they next come on the 5th of April at the Brewery!
