Numbers On Napkins

Numbers On Napkins is an Independent American Punk Rock Band from Phoenix, Arizona that formed in the summer of 2003. Often referred to as “NON”, Numbers On Napkins has released three full length albums, as well as three limited edition E.P.’s , all of which are currently out of print. In addition, NON has had their music featured on nearly a dozen compilation albums, including the Lemonhead’s tribute album, “Drug Buddies”, as well as had their popular singles, “Runaway” and “True Love” featured in the independent film, Madison Hall.

PRE-NON AND BAND FORMATION

Prior to forming Numbers On Napkins, Band members Moe Money and Chase Stain performed in other local acts throughout the mid nineties while attending Moon Valley High School. Stain played bass and was co-frontman for the punk rock band, Dirty Laundry, and Money was the guitarist and frontman for the pop punk trio, Cobalt Bloom. Both Dirty Laundry and Cobalt Bloom would often play shows together at various all ages venues across the state, until Cobalt Bloom dismembered in 1998. Dirty Laundry broke up in 2002, shortly after getting a new drummer, Tad Gurthman. After the demise of Dirty Laundry, Gurthman and Stain enlisted the help of two other local musicians and started a new band, called Yars Revenge, in early 2002. Yars Revenge ended up replacing their guitarist a few months later, and recruited Stain’s good friend, Moe Money, from the pop punk band, Cobalt Bloom. In early 2003, Yars Revenge officially called it quits and parted ways, with Stain, Money, and Gurthman starting their new project, Numbers On Napkins.
