Nü Sensae is a Canadian punk and grunge trio from Vancouver composed of bassist-vocalist Andrea Lukic, drummer Daniel Pitout, and guitarist Brody McKnight.[1] In 2012, Spin magazine named them in their list of top five best new artists.[2] Nü Sensae are currently signed to Suicide Squeeze Records.[3] Due to Pitout pursuing education in England, the group went on hiatus in August 2014.[4]

History

[edit]

The band was formed as a duo in 2008, by Andrea Lukic and Daniel Pitout.[5] From 2008 to 2011 the band released several EP's on labels such as Fast Weapons,[6] Deranged Records,[7] Isolated Now Waves,[8] Swill Children[9] and Critiscum Internationale.[10]

Nü Sensae released their first album, TV, Death and the Devil, in 2010[11] on Nominal Records which was named one of the top ten punk albums of the year by Exclaim! magazine.[12] In September 2011, Nü Sensae announced the addition of guitarist Brody McKnight to the band.[13] Their second album, "Sundowning", was released on August 7, 2012, via Suicide Squeeze Records[14] and was given an 8.0 rating by Pitchfork Media.[15]

Nü Sensae have also been associated with the queercore or queer rock genre, with the band's openly gay drummer, Daniel Pitout, having been featured in several gay publications[16][17] and for his work in AIDS activism as founder of the AIDS Day Music Project (or ADMP).[18][19][20] Pitout was named one of the most eligible gay bachelors of 2013 by OUT magazine.[21][22] Pitout also performs masked as country singer Orville Peck.[23]
