about

Raised in a small town on California's central coast, Angie Nightmare grew up on bluegrass records and tall tales.

Angie and the Nightmares' long-overdue debut If I Fall captures the band's loose, spontaneous live sound, showcasing the music’s sweet simplicity and letting the stories shine through; These are tales of love, loss, and family told with charming (and occasionally brutal) frankness.

Following in the footsteps of greats like Tom Waits and Josh Ritter, Angie's songs mine the bittersweet vein of American folk narrative, blending the self-deprecation of down-and-out country with modern ironic snark. By mixing the storytelling tradition of Cline and Cash with the self-reflexive humor of modern artists like Ben Folds and Lily Allen, she bends the framework of folk, country, and blues to tell her own unique stories.

If I Fall weaves small joys and struggles into contemporary legends, documenting and questioning life in a complicated time; The inner struggles of a fashionista/tomboy drive “Part Pin-Up,” while the tug-of-war between writing love songs and one's actual love life is explored in “Stop. Make Love.” Family tragedies large and small are the stuff of “Legends,” a celebration of relatives with both immense fortitude and a flair for the dramatic.

Since 2011, Angie and bandmate Anna Maretta Cole have been performing together as The Luck, using their unique bass and drum format to explore sounds ranging from jazz, to blues, to folk. Embraced by the central coast Rockabilly community, the ladies can be found playing at veteran’s charity events, farmers' markets, wineries and dive bars. They've gigged with Rockabilly staples Gamblers Mark, The Rockets, Koffin Kats, and the Phenonmenauts, and opened for the Americana side-projects of many an aging punk including Doug C. and the Blacklisted, Roddy Radiation, and Jason Cruz and Howl.

In 2016 the group added a guitarist and adopted a more blues-based sound. Signaling this musical change of seasons and a desire to learn and grow, the Luck became Angie and the Nightmares in 2018. With their new, more flexible lineup, the band is currently playing throughout the central coast in support of If I Fall.
