The Devyl Nellys, a NYC band known for its varied gypsy-like rhythms and razor sharp lyrics released their second EP, Airport, on April 6, 2010. They will support this release with a nationwide tour throughout the year.
Possessing an unrestrained and decidedly fresh, bohemian-rock sound, the Devyl Nellys came together organically within the greatest of cultural melting pots, New York City. Bombarded by music ranging from Pink Floyd and The Allman Brothers to Chuck Berry and Joao Gilberto, songwriter Nelly Levon and guitarist James Mastro began their own experimental jam sessions after a lifetime immersed in piano and drums. Their addictive tunes and rhythms ensnared Tim Noyes of the Americana band, Aunt Martha, along with Peter Carucci and Wilson Montuori of the power pop band, Chasing Sunday, while they were crisscrossing the Catskills and New York supporting bands like Gov’t Mule and The Violent Femmes.
The Devyl Nellys’ alternative rock/folk sound has been tempered and honed through countless gigs across the country and in studio sessions at Avatar and Nine Lives with Fred Kevorkian and Grammy winner Nicola Stemmer. In the past they have contributed to Tribal Productions, alongside NYU Tisch Gold Medal recipients and Sundance Film Festival winners Cary Lin and Mahesh Pailoor and their music has been placed regionally on The Songwriter's Network in Nashville and on the Emerging Women Artists Radio Show in Chicago. They have been selected by the GAP for inclusion in their compilation CD, Born To Play Musicians and can also be heard on The Discovery Channel and on The History Channel's "Cities of the Underworld".
Following a path chosen by other musical contemporaries, The Devyl Nellys are resisting the call to conform and will remain independent in the interests of their artistic vision. They will continue highlighting the conflicts within the darker areas of American society and culture. Their previous EP, Skyline, stressed frustrations with mainstream art and life, but through poignant lyrics and a touch of humor, caused HBO to comment, "If only more indie artists were this bitterly honest and blissfully fun." The EP, Airport, builds upon their myriad strengths, adding the experiences of another year of energetic musicianship, but offers some artistic surprises.
