It took two years of rehearsing and performing as an acoustic duo before michael and I finally found the sound we were looking for, the beginnings of THE LOVE X NOWERE. When our previous band muad’dib had fallen apart in 2001, we went to work in the basement, with an acoustic guitar, a fender Rhodes, and an apple ibook as our rhythm section. the electronic beats that we created are now incorporated into the drumming of nick fitzsimmons, of Northern Ireland. yuki kasuya signed on to play bass, after the breakup of San Francisco’s Luminar. You could say it started much earlier, when I was in high school and family friend bob weir of the Greatful Dead gave me my first guitar. Or when michael first heard The Verve and dedicated his life to music. Or six years ago when yuki left japan to continue his musical journey in San Francisco. I asked nick to write a brief musical history about himself to help me with this bio. He finishes by saying that he is “now back from whence he came to live under the Great Radiohead/Delgados/Lemonjelly Tree of pure groove and plinky-plonky noises.” I believe we are all huddled with nick under that same tree. – gabriel 2004
