History

Goldsmith, Marsh, Piltch and Tielli came together in 1992 to collaborate on a cover of Joni Mitchell's "River" for the 1992 Mitchell tribute album Back to the Garden.[3] The four began practising and performing under the name Nick Buzz, a nod to Tielli's chain-smoking habit ('nicotine buzz').

Nick Buzz released a full-length album, Circo, in 1996 through Dark Light Music.[4][5][6] It was rereleased in 2002 by Six Shooter Records, with the music magazine Chart calling it a "virtually unheard-of 1996 classic".[7] In 2003, they got back together to perform four songs by Arnold Schoenberg, originally for Andrew Burashko's Art of Time series in Toronto. The group released a recording of these songs for Tielli's Tielli 2003 subscription series on Six Shooter.

In 2013 Nick Buzz released the album A Quiet Evening at Home on Six Shooter Records.[8][9]
