''Novi Split'' is David Jerkovich's (a.k.a. "David J.") semi-solo indie pop/folk act. It is based in San Pedro, California. ==Story== Listing among his influences musicians such as "Springsteen, Roger Waters, Phil Ochs, Tom Waits, KRS-1, Leonard Cohen, Woody Guthrie, Marvin Gaye . . ." and even the likes of "John Prine, Raekwon the Chef, Robyn Hitchcock, Randy Newman, () Rod McKuen,"〔(A Better Offer Blog: Novi Split Spotlight, Apr. 23, 2007 ) retrieved 02-22-2012〕 David J. started his musical career early and made an early mark with bands such as Kind of Like Spitting and The Real Diego.〔 By 2003, David J. started recording his own version of lo-fi indie folk-pop under the moniker "Novi Split." The following is his explanation behind the name: :Novi means 'new' and Split is a city on the Adriatic Coast. In America, when you have a large concentration of a certain people in one place you name the city after them. Little Italy, China town, Korea town, et cetera. There is a huge Croatian population in San Pedro (). One night my friend Mike B. wanted to lead an angry group of Croats down to City Hall to declare San Pedro (renamed ) Novi Split. End of story. It always stuck in my head.〔Schueppert, Jason. (''Novi Split Feature'', Lost at Sea Magazine, July 11, 2007 ) retrieved 02-22-12〕 In 2004, he released his first album, ''Keep Moving'' on Sunset Alliance Records. While, according to David J., he wrote and recorded each individual song in under an hour,〔(Cloak & Dagger Media Profile: David J. ) retrieved 02-22-12〕 that lo-fi record received quite positive reviews from critics.〔''See, e.g.'', Carradini, Stephen. (Independentclauses.com Review of ''Keep Moving'', Mar. 21, 2004 ) retrieved 01-05-14〕 After releasing Novi Split's first record, Kind of Like Spitting broke up. Consequently, David J. signed a new record deal with Hush Records to replace KOLS among its stable of bands, and to gain a wider distribution for his own music.〔 Since then, Novi Split has released one album, ''Pink in the Sink'' and one EP, ''Hollow Notes''. Each of these records have received positive reviews〔''See, e.g.'', Rabid, Jack. (Allmusic.com Review of ''Pink in the Sink'' ) retrieved 02-22-12〕 and have even led to Novi Split's music being featured on the popular WB/CW television series ''One Tree Hill'' on two occasions. Episode 7.06, "Deep Ocean Vast Sea" featured the song ''Leaving It'' from ''Pink in the Sink'',〔(One Tree Hill Music: Episode 7.06, oth-music.com ) retrieved 02-22-12〕 and episode 7.01, "4:30am (Apparently They Were Travelling Abroad)," featured the song ''Hollow Notes'', which can be found on the DECA Compilation and well as the ''Hollow Notes'' EP.〔(One Tree Hill Music: Episode 7.01, oth-music.com ) retrieved 02-22-12〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Novi Split」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
