History

Officially formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 2010, the members of Aye Nako were from Oakland, California, where Mars Ganito (vocals, guitar) and Joe McCann (bass) had been two-thirds of Fleabag, who had changed their name from Aye Nako. After the move to Brooklyn, Ganito and McCann were joined by Jade Payne (guitar) and Angie Boylan (drums) to complete their lineup.^[4]

They have performed with acts such as P.S. Eliot and the Thermals.^[4] Their self-released debut album, Unleash Yourself, came out in the summer of 2013. The band signed to Don Giovanni Records in 2015 for the release of The Blackest Eye EP. Returning to the studio in 2016, the group recorded its second full-length, Silver Haze. Released once again by Don Giovanni, the album came out in early 2017.^[4]
