Nurses Escapades On ChatRoulette Documented In New Video, Touring with The Tallest Man On Earth

On February 23rd, NURSES played a one-of-a-kind show, performing via webcam on ChatRoulette, the latest cyber-craze. For the uninitiated, ChatRoulette randomly pairs up participants for a one-on-one video chat, meaning that to find Nurses on the site, you had to venture through some uncharted (and very NSFW) waters. Using 15 computers to stream the show via ChatRoulette, the band played a wild set for some unsuspecting internet surfers. The band has since edited a version of new and unreleased song “So Sweet” into a music video, documenting the fun that went down on the internet that night. Watch it HERE.

In addition to their ChatRoulette escapades, we are also pleased to share the band’s official video for “Winter” from their 2009 album, Apple’s Acre. Directed by Hans Lo, the “Winter” video is a playful kalediscopic trip. In other words, it’s the perfect accompaniment to the band’s homemade psychedelia. If only the 3-D glasses we stole from Avatar worked when watching this, we’d be in heaven. Watch the video for “Winter” HERE.

The band also hits the road again this spring, joining The Tallest Man On Earth on most shows, as well as a performance at this year’s Sasquatch Festival. See the complete tour dates HERE.

NURSES To Play Live on ChatRoulette

Feeling adventurous and in the mood to watch some live music from the comfort of your own home? You may be in luck if you log on to ChatRoulette tomorrow, where NURSES will be performing a 45 minute set live via webcam.

If you’re not familiar with this latest cyber craze, ChatRoulette randomly pairs up participants for a one-on-one video chat. (Read more about the creep potential HERE.) So, if you want to watch Nurses you’re going to have to venture through some uncharted waters to find them.

Nurses will performing from Aaron’s living room where they’ve made their own backdrop and set. They will be playing in front of 15 computers, each of which will be streaming the performance live on ChatRoulette. The performance itself will feature mostly traditional Nurses songs, but there will also be some jam sessions, and a couple of new songs as well. They’ll be running for projectors for visual effect, and may actually project some of the video of people watching on ChatRoulette, making what Aaron called a “meta-roulette.”

Look for Nurses on ChatRoulette Tuesday, February 23 at 7 p.m. Pacific. You can access the site HERE. Good luck!
