Null Device’s Year in Review – 2011
This year was very obviously not as frenetic as last year. We didn’t release an album, didn’t go on tour, or even play all that many shows. We had our reasons. I (Eric O) had a wedding to put together, for one thing. Elizabeth had a very adorable baby right at the start of the [...]

We Had A Wedding. You Get A Present!
So this past weekend the last of the Null Device core members – me – got married off. It was a lovely day with some lovely people. So to celebrate, we’re releasing a chunk of songs I’ve been sitting on for a while. “Something More Exciting Than A Tornado: Null Device Live at WORT-FM.” Before [...]
A Bit of Aftermath from the Terrace Show
While we were performing, mr. Brian “OwlBoy” Bortz was taking some video. And he assembled a pretty frickin’ cool little documentary about the show from that footage. You can see it here:
Woot! (again)
Congratulations are in order for Null Device vocalist/keyboardist/right-hand-ladyperson Jill Sheridan whose (in her words) “oven is bunned!” YAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!

Things you might have noticed.
You might have noticed…we’ve got a gig coming up! First one in a while – since the tour, one of our members has had a cheerful little child and another member of the touring band um, moved to Qatar. So we’ve taken some time off. But we’re roaring back, playing at The WTII Minifest in June at [...]

Remixes for The Red Cross

State of the Device, 2010
It’s been a pretty quiet year for us. Ha ha! No. No it hasn’t. Lessee, we released our 4th, and thus far best, album. We went on our first tour, and it was remarkably successful (plus!

This Charmed Life, This Fading Belief…
While out on our successful “Fading Belief” tour, ND and The Dark Clan started mulling the possibility of a joint release.
