Nerd Rock favorites Nerf Herder will be releasing their
fourth album entitled "IV" on April 29th via their new
deal with Oglio Records, distributed by
Fontana/Universal. "IV" is produced by Angus Cooke
(former The Ataris), owner of legendary Santa Barbara
based Orange Whip Studios. Nerf Herder will tour to
support "IV" which includes odes to cassettes, orange
backpacks, golf shirts, orb clutching dragons, manatees,
the awesomeness of Led Zeppelin, Santa Barbara, high
school dances and later high school reunions all mixed
with perhaps the album's greatest secret ingredient,
unrequited love.
The razor witted "IV" continues in the vein of the
classic Nerf Herder of "Sorry", "High Five Anxiety", "Mr.
Spock" and "Van Halen" fame, securing the band as one of
melodic Geek Rock's leading lights. Lev Grossman from
Time Magazine's "Nerd World" blog recently had not one
but two Nerf Herder tracks in their Top 10 All Time
Nerd-Pop and Nerdcore Songs. The new track "Led Zeppelin
Rules" is an iTunes pre-release digital single, the non
album "Affirmative Action" is an iTunes exclusive bonus
track and the first official single from Nerf Herder "IV"
is the lethally hummable pop masterpiece "WTC #7". New
music videos include "Oh Me, Oh My" and an animated video
for "Manatee" by the brilliant Nathan Mazur ("Do You Like
Waffles" from the Parry Gripp solo CD "For Those About To
Shop, We Salute You").
The band takes their name from a Star Wars Episode V The
Empire Strikes Back reference --- when Princess Leia
insults Han Solo with "Why you stuck-up, half-witted,
scruffy-looking nerf herder!". They are also responsible
for the Buffy The Vampire Slayer theme song and performed
as the very last band to play the shows fictional venue
during Buffy's final season. Nerf Herder music can also
be heard in the MLB 2K7 video game.
