The Nadas are a rock/folk quintet based out of Des Moines, Iowa. Formed in 1995 in Ames, Iowa, the band earned early success on the local college scene, eventually becoming the "house" band for People's Bar and Grill. Their initial success resulted in the first of seven albums, titled, "Not A Sound,"—a phonetic allusion to the band's unique name. Following the success of "Not A Sound," the band members embarked on the first of what would become regular tours, traveling throughout the country and performing at a variety of venues.〔(Biography ), Allmusic.com〕〔Katie Vaughan, (Nadas Grow Beyond College Band Status ). ''Quad City Times'', March 1, 2007. Accessed July 3, 2007.〕 The band was called "The Best College Band You've Never Heard Of" by Playboy Magazine in 2001.〔''Playboy Magazine'', September 4, 2001.〕 The Nadas' music is featured on the local arts-and-crafts show ''Courage to Create,'' airing on KDSM-TV Sunday mornings. "Carve Your Name" from the ''Coming Home'' CD is the show's theme song. The title song from ''Listen Through the Static,'' written about small community radio station KDNK-FM in Carbondale, CO, was featured on the December 2005 MacAddict CD-ROM. Their "Walk Away" is sung at the end of a competition on Speed Channel's Pinks, after the winner has been determined. The Nadas performed at SXSW in 2006 and did the opening act for the Des Moines show for Bon Jovi on their ''Have A Nice Day Tour'' at the Wells Fargo Arena.〔Jeremy Buckley, (Authentic Recording ). ''Omaha City Weekly''. Accessed July 3, 2007.〕 In the summer of 2007, The Nadas joined with Chicago radio personality Steve Dahl for a six-concert tour of the Chicago area, billed as "Steve Dahl and the Dahlfins" (). April 2008 found the band's newly released track "Good Night Girl," featured on Paste Magazine's 41st Sample CD. The Nadas song ("Feel Like Home" ) is the community anthem for the Des Moines, Iowa "Do More" campaign. The band's most recent album, "Almanac," found the band releasing a new song each month throughout 2009 as a musical snapshot of that year. ==Discography== 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「The Nadas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
