Upcoming Show with The Fleshtones

Stream The Video Here

"In a climate where music often dances around weighty issues, Nervous Eaters confront them head-on with “Kelly’s Sixteen.” The song serves as a complex portrait of a young girl wrestling with despair, to the extent of pondering life-altering decisions. It touches a nerve in our increasingly digitized society, emphasizing the very real consequences of our social media-obsessed culture."- FolknRock

Fresh off a Cambridge, MA show this week with Dead Boys and The Plimsouls, pioneering Boston rockers Nervous Eaters-- contemporaries of bands like the Ramones, The Police, Iggy Pop, and The Pretenders-- have released a new single "Kelly's Sixteen" which comes on the heels of the band's critically-lauded 2022 return full-length, 'Monsters + Angels,' on Stevie Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records.

"Kelly's Sixteen" is open to interpretation for listeners. However, the inspiration comes from a young girl who is very troubled and contemplates taking her own life.

Bassist Brad Hallen explains, "Social media platforms are a cesspool of narcissism and studies show that young people have been taking their own lives more commonly as a result of all this exposure to it. We all need more human-to-human contact instead of relationships with our phones, and through our music, we're encouraging listeners to spread that message."

2022's 'Monsters + Angels' marked a welcome return for the 4-piece,

and the new single "Kelly's Sixteen" further proves that they are as relevant as ever.

Formed in the mid-70's, the Nervous Eaters would eventually become the house band for the legendary Boston punk rock club The Rat, where they established themselves as a leading punk rock band in the Northeast, playing with a who's who of punk and new wave luminaries, including The Police, The Ramones, The Cars, Patti Smith, Dead Boys, Iggy Pop, The Stranglers, Go-Go's and many others.

The Cars’ Ric Ocasek produced the band's original demos, which got the band signed to Elektra Records, and they went on to tour around the world. However, after a series of poor decisions on the part of the label, their major label debut album failed to deliver on the promise of their legendary live shows.

After dissolving the band, Nervous Eaters returned in the mid-80's and has been revived over the years with various lineups.

The current version of the Nervous Eaters formed in 2018 and includes three other Boston rock vets, bassist Brad Hallen (of Ministry, Ric Ocasek and The Joneses), drummer David McLean (of Willie Alexander’s Boom Boom Band) and guitarist/vocalist Adam Sherman (of Private Lightning), and between them, they have recorded and/or toured with such artists as Ministry, Iggy Pop, Aimee Mann, Jane Wiedlin, Susan Tedeschi, Jimmie Vaughan, Lenny Kaye and many others.

Upcoming Shows:

September 29- New Haven, CT @ Cafe Nine (with The Fleshtones)
