Them Novus was founded in April, 2007, in Riverside, CA. Influenced by tasty bands and artists such as The Police, Dave Matthews Band, Jamiroquai, and Prince. Them Novus deliciously blends styles of the sweetest eras and genres. While savoring the classic tastes that are the foundation of a great band, Them Novus spices it up with their own unique flavors of progressive rock, pop, and jazz. Let's just say, Them Novus is palatable to the pickiest of taste buds. Follow Them Novus as they ripen into one of the tastiest bands on the menu of the new millennium. Here is a little bit about the ingredients: Devin “Divine” Vasquez; Devin was signed at the age of 16 to Warner and had a publishing deal with Sony at around the same time. She has also toured with the Jade Picket-Smith project opening for Brittney Spears to 30 to 40,000 crowds. Lately, she recorded vocals with Robin Thicke on his “Lost without you” hit. Now she is committed to this, our great band. She does all lead vocals and harmonies. She is also the band's lyricist and melody maker. Johnny G; Ex Neon Fields guitar player, just graduated from Musicians Institute in Hollywood. Johnny G is responsible for all guitar parts, loops and bass programming. Johnny G currently attends college towards his Masters in Performance Arts. He also writes most of the music together with Devin and Henry. Henry “The Groove Meister” Rodriguez; Henry's experience extends to more than 20 years, and he is proficient in all styles and rhythms. Henry keeps the groove tight and solid. He plays the drums and occasionally will sign back up vocals. He also puts the final touch on most of the song ideas into the final composition. Henry is a great influence in the band's sound.
The recipe: Passion, hard work, no fear and ultimately (believe or not) talent with enough perseverance to simmer into a band to reckon with. We are aware of the obstacles and hurdles but we still want to be in the race, for as long as it takes.
