NoMeansNo

A recap of more than 20 years of music together, releasing live EPs on USB flash drive bracelets, the golden rules of touring (what to do and what not to do), one day in an Irish band.

Live within your means..

Who: John Wright, drummer of NoMeansNo (Vancouver, Canada)
Latest record: Tour EP 2 (Wrong Records, 2010)
Online: myspace.com/myspaceiswrong and nomeanswhatever.com
Our favourite video: this live version of Angel Or Devil
Where we met: The Button Factory
Why we like them: We bought Oh Canaduh! 7" vinyl almost by chance in 1991, we were just intrigued by the band’s name. Since then, we’ve always kept on eye on NoMeansNo as they are kind of part of our teenage years.
Behind the scenes: that week was unbelievable cold for the Irish standards (-10°C that very night), there was ice on the streets and every night concerts would be cancelled. We tried to get in contact with NoMeansNo’s manager to know if we should go or not, but couldn’t reach him on the phone. A few minutes after that, we found a message on our mailbox: it was NoMeansNo telling us to join them! One minute later we were on our way 🙂
P.S. Many thanks to our friend Michele for his help with the camera.
