Culture Collide Interviews and Streams Nectarines

Nectarines member Nima Kazerouni recently sat for an interview with Culture Collide. In it, he explained how the new project differs from his other bands, So Many Wizards and Crown Plaza. Calling Nectarines’ work a collection of “dark heartbreak songs,” he explains that his bandmate Allie Bumstead was the lynchpin that made the band come together. “Nectarines wasn’t something I really took seriously in the beginning,” he told the site. “We would shoot the sh*t and jam on song ideas in the garage. It was a nice change of pace to being in bands with deadlines and obligations…From there we just let the Long Beach DIY community do its thing and before we knew it, there were five of us jamming in the garage.”
