Nomo
is an Afro-beat band from Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Fela Kuti-inspired band formed at the University of Michigan, [1] and is not to be confused with the 1980's Pop/New Wave band of the same name fronted by California singer-songwriter David Batteau, which is best known for the 1985 minor hit "Red Lipstick".
Fronted by Elliott Bergman, the band has recorded for Ubiquity Records and Ypsilanti Records. The band has been recorded by His Name Is Alive frontman Warn Defever. Members of Nomo also perform on various His Name Is Alive albums, including Detrola
, XMMER
, and Sweet Earth Flower
. Members include nine core members; Bergman (saxophone, percussion, electric mbira, and electric sawblade gamelan), Erik Hall (guitar, Nu-Tone Cymbals, and drums), Jamie Register (bass, vocals), Quin Kirchner (congas, drums, percussion), Dan Piccolo (drums, percussion), Dan Bennett (baritone saxophone, percussion), Justin Walter (trumpet, wah-wah), Joey Dosik (alto saxophone), and Ingrid Racine (trumpet, percussion).

In an interview, Bergman said: "NOMO is a big melting pot of ideas and influences." [3]
