Nomo.dj was a poor band out of Flower Mound, Texas. We had no name when we first started. It was a simple affair really. Lou and Jimmy donate their musical prowess and talent to their church each week. One day the Deacon approached Jimmy to see if they could play for an upcoming dinner dance. “Sure” was Jimmy’s response. Actually, that’s ALWAYS Jimmy’s response. Jimmy and Lou looked at each other and said, Hmmm, what do we do for a bass player. They gave Mike a call and said, “hey, we’re getting the band back together! Wanna play bass?” “Sure”, Mike said. Mike doesn’t always say sure. That’s Jimmy’s domain. We got together with another Guitarist and after the 2nd song, Jimmy says, “hey can you sing? Can you be our lead singer?” “Sure”, Mike says. So we cobbled together 20 or so songs for the gig. We didn’t need a lot of songs cause we were sharing the entertainment duties with a DJ for the Church Dance. When we got to get gig, blisters on our fingers and all, the DJ was already setup, consuming a full 1/3 of the stage with his “spin doctor” equipment. We were alittle surprised! The DJ started the evening playing soothing tunes during Dinner. We took the stage after announcements with the expectation we’d “play for awhile” and then let the doctor spin. Lou nonchalantly repositioned the DJ equipment (Lou has feelings too), we hit the 1st chord, the people hit the dance floor and we left the stage when last call was announced. Opps! The DJ never got to play and “nomo dj” was born!

So nomo.dj became the church annual dinner dance house band. Over time, we wanted more versatility. We reached out to 88-fingers Shawn to provide some real music theory and talent. Shawn comes with an awesome voice to relief the folks from Mike’s screams and yodels. We weren’t done yet. One night, while Mike was hosting his company’s Christmas dinner, over the conversation din, he hears the sweetest voice belting out a country lyric. Mike makes eye contact with Kimmy. Kimmy was engaged to one of Mike’s employees and was due to move to Flower Mound. She was in! Not quite complete, we needed 1 more element to round out our sound. We needed some youth! Brad joined the band picking up the lead guitar and backup vocals duties.

Today, nomo.dj is all about getting you on the dance floor. We don’t do requests and we don’t scratch vinyl. But we guarantee to make you sweat!
