About Brett Newski
Brett Newski (born Brett Wisniewski) is an North American nomad, songwriter, illustrator, and folk punk guitarist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
In 2011, he toured Southeast Asia alone for six months until completing his first solo LP, In Between Exits, while on the road. The album was written and recorded in budget hostels and apartments across Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Korea and the Philippines. Coined the “Homeless in Asia Tour”, Newski completed 30 shows in unconventional venues including Couchsurfer Apartments, a Vietnamese convenience store, an underground Korean record shop, and residential rooftops in Hong Kong while also playing club shows. During his time living in Vietnam he wrote advertising jingles for Saatchi & Saatchi.
In 2012, Newski completed a 20-date tour across South Africa in support of “In Between Exits”, traveling exclusively on public transportation. The same year he formed the band “Brett Newski & the Corruption” in Vietnam with drummer Mean Matt Green (UK) and bassist Jeffro Ganter (Vancouver, Canada). The band toured across the US and Asia. The members lived in Saigon, Vietnam (aka Ho Chi Minh City) and released one album, Tiny Victories. Their sound has been compared to Weezer, REM, The Hives, The Pixies, and The Violent Femmes; His travels would laters spawn the YouTube travel show "Crusty Adventures", documenting the comedic underbelly of DIY touring in Europe, Australia and America.
In 2014, NÜSKERS released his second solo album, American Folk Armageddon, on Good Land Records. The album evoked comparisons to Jack White. The album was picked up by German record label Make My Day Records for European release. Newski toured extensively in 2014 to support the album, including tours with Rocky Votolato in Europe, Pete Donnelly and Carter Hulsey in the US, and Jon Shaban in South Africa.
Newski continued touring in 2015, playing shows in South Africa, Europe and the United States. In June 2015, Newski released the Victor DeLorenzo produced cassette, Hi-fi D.I.Y," followed by "Land Air Sea Garage" which received notable press in Rolling Stone, Paste and The Boston Globe.
Newski was recently on tour as the opening act for the Violent Femmes. His latest release "Life Upside Down" received notable praise with Rolling Stone, WXRTin Chicago, WXPN in Philadelphia, KCMP "The Current" in MPLS, WRLT "Lightning 100" in Nashville and Paste, leading to support shows with Pixies, Manchester Orchestra, New Pornographers, Chuck Ragan, and Ike Reilly.
