Next Steps

A little break and then into the next phase. On wednesday of next week we will start another chapter in the book of our Costa Nova lives. With each of us having different obligations to fufill ,we have not been able to play as a full band for a lil while now. Our playing with different combos of us within the fabulous four tho is a growth. Being able to play in different perspectives before next week is helpful so when we are back together it'll feel like being born again. We are born again a lot in this band and I think thats a good thing. Its also been a time of inspiration lately musically. From seeing Radiohead the other night at the Hollywood Bowl to listening to Tibetan Meditation to the new Verve cd, theres ideas a brewing. Plus the positive feedback from our recent show at Franky's Boutique during Sunset Junction just keeps you floating. Who doesn't like feeling like they're floating right? Its blissful. So as our regrouping and rebirth starts to happen, I'll just let you know the next time the skies sound like they are blazing with sound. It just might happen to be Costa Nova. 

Wheels Keep Rolling

Back from our shows last week in the Bay area and feeling good. Sometimes in life and in this band we have to do what we can to survive. This weekend is the big Sunset Junction weekend and for the first time in our history we are playing that day. Not at the exact festival itself but still right in the neighborhood at Franky's Boutique. Close enough to the big show. Cool shop as well and we'll be playing outside from what I understand. So as far as surviving goes......our amazing bassist Gilday had to survive by working all this week and going into the next. We can't make Costa Nova happen if we all don't have money to live so we all understand and support each other in that department. Its just another effort we all have to put out to make Costa Nova happen. Keeps the Nova heart beating ya know? So if anyone out there has a sum of money they want to throw at us to help us do this its always welcome. Anyways, so being that this is Sunset Junction weekend we decided its too important to play and we did not want to cancel. At first it was like OMG how would we ever do this without our amazing bass player? Well like I said we all support each other and Gilday gave us his blessings for us to do all we can. The 4 headed monster now has three heads this weekend and is going to eat you alive so be prepared. We are gonna do what we have to do to survive this weekend and after last night's rehearsal I think it'll be a lot of fun. Gilday will  be at our side in spirit and we will be playing this show for all 4 of us. Our love is with him in his work and travels and we can't wait to hear his blissful bass lines again real soon.

Hope to see many Angelenos discovering Costa Nova this weekend.

Much Love,

Andy
