Nero

Nero were unpopular in Louisville. Nero played a brand of noisy math rock associated with Troubleman and Gravity Records that left many locals who were still buying Integrity seven inches confused and annoyed.

Among the first bands in town to embrace the networking capabilities of the Internet, they were the primary conduit for visiting DC bands in the middle 90s and played shows with the likes of the Monorchid, the Sorts, the Sevens, the Crown Hate Ruin, Karate, The Make-Up and more. Locally, they shared many shows with Wino, Atavin, and The Calf Fiends. Nero recorded their second 7" with Juan Carerra at the Pirate House, and recorded their full length at WGNS. Their eponymous full-length (apocryphally referred to as "The Dune Concept Album") was released three years after it was recorded, and the band dissolved during that wait.

Nero is possibly best known locally as the alter ego for the Ho Chi Men.
