Novacaine (band)
Novacaine is an American rock music group, formed in 1996 in Santa Monica, California. In the late '80s, David Hallyday had some success with his first solo records, but was unhappy. He decided to quit music, planning to do something different. But he had the idea to reform his high-school garage band, Blind Fish. Then, with his friend Erik Godal, he formed Novacaine, a kind of surf-grunge band who had some success in the US. They toured and started to get some Top 40 radio play. But at the same time, David began writing for the European Market because their label, Mercury Records asked David to write some songs in French. He made some demos and began a new and successful solo career in France. Then Novacaine was in status-quo, David saying that a new album was in the works for 2000. After several years, David worked with producer Paul Reeve. In 2004 and Nova 6, was born. Meanwhile, Erik Godal joined up with the LA surf-noir band The Blue Hawaiians. Together they scored music for the hit TV show SpongeBob SquarePants. Besides The Blue Hawaiians, Erik continued to score for film and TV and was nominated for the 2006 Annie award for his work on Squirrelboy. Other films he scored include the Sundance film Subject Two and What Love Is. Erik also continued to work with David on his solo album Revelation, touring dates and producing some songs for Johnny Hallyday, Tina Arena and Cylia.
+/- (band)
+/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001. The band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments, and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures. The group has released two albums on each of the American indie labels Teenbeat Records and Absolutely Kosher, and their track "All I do" was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film Wicker Park. The group has developed a devoted following in Japan and Taiwan, and has toured there frequently. Although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of Japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper US import versions, the overseas versions of +/- albums are usually quite different from the US versions - tracklists can be rearranged, artwork with noticeable changes is used, and tracks from the US version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks.
