A little on Nuno....

After Extreme disbanded in 1996, Nuno released his 1997 solo debut, Schizophonic, on which Nuno played all instruments. Following the release and touring of Schizophonic, Nuno assembled a new group, Mourning Widows, which incorporated a variety of alternative/rock styles. Mourning Widows released its debut CD on Polydor/Japan in 1998. The follow-up, Furnished Souls For Rent, was released in Japan in 2000. Both Mourning Widows releases cultivated a strong following in Japan and in the New England area.

Subsequently, Nuno formed the recording entity Population 1 and released the self-titled and self-produced 2002 release, Population 1, on Universal/Japan and YBM/Korea. Eager to support and tour the "Population 1" release in Japan and Korea, Nuno assembled the current lineup of Population 1: Nuno on guitar and lead vocals, Joe Pessia on bass guitar, Steve Ferlazzo on keyboards and back-up vocals, and Kevin Figueiredo on drums and back-up vocals. Having toured Japan and Korea in 2003, Population 1 is currently in the studio recording their next release, due in Fall of 2004.

As of recently, Nuno's playing can be heard and seen on the Universal/Japan CD and DVD release of Guitar Wars -- featuring solo and collective performances of Nuno with many others, including John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin fame.

Nuno continues active involvement in all facets of the music industry with current writing and recording engagements with Maverick recording group Tantric (Nuno co-wrote the hit single "Hey Now"), Hollywood recording group BB Mak, Toni Braxton, Wyclef Jean and numerous others.
