SHOW REVIEWS

Best shows of 2009 - Nu Sensae / Tyvek / B-Lines at Alf House - ECSTATIC PEACE

"Kim Gordon finally joined a punk band." - TEXAS BULLSHIT

"This Vancouver drum-bass duo makes Death From Above 1979 sound like Madonna. Riding the thin line between the no wave movement of the late ’70s and the current noise rock explosion coming out of Los Angeles, Nü Sensae take brevity to the extreme and craft blink-and-you'll-miss-them songs that steam with rage and power. Put simply, they're a freaky, noisy, chaotic Ramones, with "ers" added to each of those adjectives." - (SPJ), BEATROUTE

"The self-described "Voodoo punk" band delivers a brash bass, swelling drum lines and furious vocals that will make your head want to explode. Based on their rise in the weird punk scene in Vancouver, Nu Sensae aim to bring forth their audacious and tempered intensity to Calgary for Sled Island." - SLED ISLAND

"Canadian and shouting Nu Sensae put us hair-raising" - RADIO ENLACE, (MADRID)

'Best Shows of 2008 - Nu Sensae at The Mansion (San Francisco)' - Marissa Magic, JIGSAW UNDERGROUND

'Nu Sensae's great Vancouver grungy hyper punk (think faster early L7)' - James Fella, CLAP AND COUGH (Best of 2008)

'Nu Sensae are a drum/bass dou of spastic punk from Vancouver (Canada), bristling with HC fury at times and creeping in the no wave, too' - Rick Ele, ART FOR SPASTICS

'Nu Sensae are raw and fast. The vocals are venomous. Gotta hear 'em!' - Matt Average, RAZORCAKE

'Very reminiscent of Kat Bjelland of Babes in Toyland at her absolute nastiest' - Mark Rich, EXPRESSWAY TO MY SKULL

'By the time Nu Sensae had finished blasting it's art damaged punk, the concrete floor was a pool of sticky alley filth' - Jenny Charelsworth, THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT

'Nu Sensae launched into their set of noisey, grungey, livin'-in-dirty-basements sound. They both looked like they were in battle, and we were just spectators to the damage they created' - Shannon Gross, THE SKINNY

'[Nu Sensae] don't waste any time getting to their musical point, driving that point home, and stopping before your mind even has time to think about wondering...evil rhythms, menacing voices, and baaaad vibes' - Quinn Omori, FROM BLOWN SPEAKERS
