NYGMA IS BASED OUT OF DALLAS, TX. BURNIE, COLTEN, & CALEB HAVE BEEN PLAYING MUSIC TOGETHER FOR CLOSE TO 16 YEARS. THEY’VE BEEN IN OTHER BANDS TOGETHER AS WELL, IN ADDITION TO TOURING THE US MULTIPLE TIMES. THE 3 OF THEM MET THROUGH LOCAL CHURCH FUNCTIONS IN MANSFIELD, OH. BURNIE MET DANIEL & CHRIS THROUGH THE LOCAL SCENE IN DENTON, TX.
NYGMA STARTED AS AN OUTLET THAT WASN’T FAITH BASED. EVEN THOUGH YOU HEAR THEM TOUCH ON THEIR FAITH, BACKGROUNDS, & BELIEFS IN LYRICS. THEY GREW UP IN CHURCH/SHUL, PARENTS ARE PASTORS, ETC. WITH NYGMA, WE WANTED TO EXPLORE OTHER AVENUES AND THAT’S WHERE WE ARE.
Hi NYGMA! Thank you for taking this interview! You all are STELLAR! We are loving The Fat Nasty! Are you performing it anywhere LIVE?
We close every show we do with The Fat Nasty. We feel it’s a perfect closer to a set, and it gives the crowd one last chance to mosh until they stink.
How important is the chemistry at the venue between you and the audience when you’re performing?
It’s the most important thing for us. We do everything in our power, and pull every trick in the book to get an audience on our side. We just want people to be involved with what we are doing by moshing or singing along, or being entertained while spectating. Our set provides something for whatever side of the spectrum you enjoy shows.
Does stage fright ever hit right before a set? How do you work through that?
Depends on who you ask in the band. Half of us don’t feel any at all, and the other half feels it all. The half of us that don’t feel it, try to calm the other half down by talking through the set.
What kind of experience will your fans get at a show of yours?
We try to come out the gate swinging and stunning a crowd with a frenetic first act. Then we like to get them involved with singing along and dancing. By the end of the show, hopefully everyone has had an immersive experience.
Any fun fan moments at a concert you can share?
We once had a fan drink beer out of a shoe during our set. Who knows why!
Before you go can you give us some scoop on what’s NEXT now that you’ve signed with ASPIRE TO EMPIRE RECORDS?!
We are releasing singles and music videos. The Fat Nasty has been released to radio on September 13th and we couldn’t be more excited!
