What an amazing year 2018 has been! Twenty two cities in the U.S. and Canada, and last month a show on the lovely island of Guam with our pals The Jets. (Thankfully Typhoon Yutu just missed us!) It's too early to know how next year is shaping up. In the mean time, the holidays are upon us! If you're looking for a gift for that Nu Shooz fan next door, we have a bright and shiny NEW MERCH STORE! (https://www.manicmerch.com/nu_shooz) There are nu designs for t-shirts, mugs and and more...

Wow. What a summer! So many cities in so little time. So many experiences to remember. We wouldn't trade a single moment. (OK, well, maybe the one where John forgets his guitar pedals in the rental car, or when Valerie had us returning the rental car to a different airport than the one we were flying out of 😬.)

Seven months ago we had a video shoot with the band for the song "Bagtown". Over the winter, our son Malcolm Smith has been working on the miniature Bagtown set - which is ALMOST complete. Next we'll put it in the hands of animator/director Mike Wellins who will take our green screen selves and actually put us INSIDE the town.
No date for completion yet. The cool part is, BAGTOWN LIVES! Check out the video we made in our studio to get a behind the scenes glimpse into the "Making of..."
Summer Shows!
Here in Oregon we have a phenomenon we call June-uary. After a brief euphoric blast of spring weather, we get another six weeks of rain. The saying goes: "Summer starts July 5th."

We have it on good authority that the sun will indeed be shining here in the Pacific Northwest for our full Nu Shooz band shows - and we've got a BUNCH of them. Click on through for dates!
