The History
| Support Our Friends |
Numbers On Napkins formed in the hot summer of 2003,
following the demise of their former band Yars Revenge.
Three of the founding members, Chase Stain, Tad
Gurthman and Moe Money wasted no time, and
immediately entered the studio with Aaron Carey
(Megadeth, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks, etc.) and released
their debut album "Waiting for Tomorrow" on Bad Stain
Records. The CD was the fastest selling solo release in
the history of Bad Stain Records, selling over 9,000
copies to date.
Numbers On Napkins toured extensively for the release
and performed with bands like Bayside, The
Independents, Yellowcard, Bullets to Broadway, Groovie
Ghoulies, Zebrahead, Authority Zero, Tokyo Rose and
various others.
NoN completed their sound with the addition of Matt
Martini in September of 2005, and their name was soon
known worldwide in the underground music scene, thanks
to an onslaught of articles ranging from local magazines
like The New Times, Get Out Magazine and the College
Times, to national publications and websites like
Maximum Rock N' Roll and Punknews.org.
"Waiting for Tomorrow" continued to do well for Numbers
On Napkins. Their single, "True Love" blew audiences
away, becoming the #1 Best Love Song for the genre of
Punk on the ALL TIME Charts at GarageBand.Com Their
first radio friendly single, "Runaway" had positive
responses on many online and college radio stations, and
it wasn't long before NoN found themselves selling out
shows.
As the years flew by, NoN received more exposure. Their
video "Broken" was nominated for Best Video of the Year
at the 2006 AZ Ska Punk Awards. NoN walked away with
the award for Best Video for the single, "Forget This, I'm
Going to Tokyo" in 2007, and won again in 2008 for their
video, "Go Away". NoN was nominated four years in a
row for Best Melodic Punk Band, and Best Pop Punk
Band, and eventually took home the award for Best Pop
Punk Band at the 2007 Ska Punk Awards Ceremony. At
the 2007 and 2008 Arizona Ska Punk Awards, NoN was
nominated for Most Comical Band and Best Live Show,
and walked away with the Award for Best Rock Band in
2008.
In the summer of 2006, Numbers On Napkins followed up
their debut release with their Limited Edition E.P.
"Quickerdrunkenlouderharder", also released on Bad
Stain Records. NoN recorded the album at Arcane Digital
Recording in Chandler, Arizona, and chose Ryan Butler,
guitarist for both North Side Kings and Landmine
Marathon to engineer and mix the CD. The album was
limited to 2,500 copies and was also praised by various
publications and webzines.
Over the years, the band has gained an onslaught of
sponsors to help support them including Fender Guitars,
Bud True Music, Lucid Dream Tattoos, Liquid Salvation
Ultra Hydrating Water, Marked For Life Clothing and
Lithium Clothing Company. Electro-Harmonix even
helped with the creation of the Holy Stain Pedal, and
allowed Numbers On Napkins to sell the pedal to their
fans.
NoN once again hit the road to promote their album, and
performed with a variety of national touring acts like
Flogging Molly, Guttermouth, Youth Brigade, Agent
Orange, Deadbolt, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Toys That Kill,
Pour Habit and more. After performing with legendary
punk pioneers The Queers, NoN approached frontman
Joe Queer to help produce their next release. Joe agreed
and NoN hit the studio and began recording tracks with
Ryan Butler for their upcoming release "Borrachos,
Chingasos Y Rucas". NoN finished recording the album
in the summer of 2008, and began shopping the record to
various labels.
In September of 2009, exactly five years after Matt Martini
joined NoN, he chose to leave the band to pursue music
full time in his side project Reason Unknown. Martini left
because of his desire to only play old school punk, and
NoN desired to play an original blend of punk fusion,
mixed with a variety of rock genres. NoN wished Martini
the best, and moved on as a three piece.
"Borrachos, Chingasos Y Rucas" was picked up by
F-Bomb Records, and is scheduled for release in 2010.
NoN is also negotiating with three other labels, and
planning on releasing a cover album, a Christmas album,
and a special Blue Ray featuring a two hour biography,
live footage, interviews, music videos and a 90 minute live
performance from the band.
