Goodnight Nurse
Goodnight Nurse was a New Zealand pop punk band formed in Auckland in 2001. The group began as a trio, then changed to a four-piece prior to the release of their second album. It consisted of lead vocalist Joel Little, guitarist and back up vocalist Sam McCarthy, bassist Rowan Crowe, with drummer and back up vocalist Jaden Parkes.[citation needed]
The band has released two studio albums, Always and Never (2006) and Keep Me On Your Side (2008). Both peaked at number five on the New Zealand Top 40 Album chart. The albums combined have spawned nine singles to date, with Goodnight Nurse having a top 40 single in New Zealand every year from 2004 to 2009's "Lay With Me".
Goodnight Nurse formed in 2001 after bass player Paul Taite responded to a flyer Joel Little and Jaden Parkes put on the stairs at Shadows, the Auckland University bar. Goodnight Nurse met and practiced for the first time on 25 June 2001 in Parkes' garage.[citation needed] At the time of their formation, Taite had only been playing bass for 3 months.
Paul Taite left the band in 2007. Goodnight Nurse later became a four-piece, with the additions of Rowan Crowe and Sam McCarthy.
They played their first concert at Papa Jacks / Voodoo Lounge in Auckland in early 2002.[citation needed] They were chosen for the Boost Mobile NZ Schools Tour in 2004, during which they played at 120 venues nationwide over a period of five months, the single largest tour done by one band in New Zealand history.[citation needed] Other bands that have participated in the Boost Mobile NZ Schools Tour include Steriogram (2002), Wash (2003), My Life Story (2005), Falter (2006) and Streetwise Scarlet (2007). Goodnight Nurse have since toured New Zealand many times with bands such as Steriogram, Elemeno P and 48May, and Australian act The Living End. In 2006 they toured the east coast of Australia for three months on the Rock the Schools tour, and have played several other shows there since. Goodnight Nurse also played main stage at the Big Day Out 07.
Goodnight Nurse's debut album, Always and Never was certified gold by RIANZ a single week after it was released. It debuted to place number five on the RIANZ New Zealand Album Charts. The album spent 6 weeks in the Top 40 (30 January - 27 February). Always and Never produced seven singles including: "Loner", "Going Away", "Taking Over", "Our Song", "Death Goes to Disco", "All for You", and "My Only".
Goodnight Nurse also recorded a rock cover of Kelis' hit song "Milkshake", which appeared on the CD single for "Our Song" and as a bonus track on the Australian release of Always and Never. Goodnight Nurse's song "My Only" was also used on the NHL 07 soundtrack.
Following the release of their debut album, Goodnight Nurse hit the road. On 5 March 2007 Goodnight Nurse opened for Fall Out Boy on their New Zealand show. They also supported Story of the Year and HIM. In April 2007 they were the headline act on the MTV Mile High Gig, playing on an airplane flying at 35,000 feet over the Tasman Sea.[citation needed]
