Demir has moved to California to pursue earthquakes (he's a geologist) and the Nasties have retired from their duties as harbingers of nastiness. Dean, Joe and Desmond are all still in town (Chapel Hill area) and are still interested in playing music of all sorts. You can contact Joe at jetelege@bulldog.unca.edu, Desmond at dkm@unc.edu and Dean via Desmond or Joe.

Also, you can listen to MP3s from Desmond's previous band, Dreaming Fish, by clicking here.
