quotes/Media
"Snow Nerds has a bright, zippy sound and a warm sense of humor...[they] have an excellent rapport, and Sucher’s knotty melodies leave plenty of room for some excellent improvisation.”
-Lee Rice Epstein, freejazzblog.org
"Recipe for Snow Nerds ….. start with a little hip hop á la Ornette Coleman, add some elements of Weather Report, a little sprinkling of punk just for attitude, and top off with a little bit of Frank Zappaesque humor. This band will have you smiling and scratching your head!”
-Larry Koonse, Jazz Guitarist
Voted The Deli LA's local band of the month July 2017
ABOUT
The vibrant experimental rock quartet Snow Nerds has its roots in the Los Angeles improvised music scene. Their music is filled with devilish hooks, hard-hitting instrumental performances, thought-provoking compositions, and no shortage of absurdist humor. With Jake Sucher's playful guitar and Ted Taforo's wild sax, Snow Nerds demonstrates a new positive energy in motion.
Since their formation in fall of 2015, Snow Nerds has performed at many venues throughout Los Angeles including Bootleg Theater, bluewhale, and Art Share LA. In June 2017 they released their debut album Gup Life on Orenda Records, and were named the Deli LA's local band of the month for July. Their second release, It's Really Rampart EP, was released in conjunction with a four-week sponsored residency at ETA Highland Park.
At the heart of Snow Nerds is the musical history of saxophonist Ted Taforo and guitarist Jake Sucher. The pair have been writing music and performing together since their days in music school years ago.
