History

The Creeping Nobodies began as a one-off performance for a tribute night to the UK band The Fall, and were put together by Derek Westerholm. The tribute night was held on September 21, 2001, at the El Mocambo club in Toronto, and the band name "The Creeping Nobodies" came from the name of a fictitious band mentioned on a Fall record sleeve. Immediately afterwards, the band became its own entity, investigating a wider range of musical influences.
The band released many of their records on Blocks Recording Club, including Sound of Joy, recorded with Wharton Tiers, and a 2007 split 12" with the band Anagram. Blocks was a worker co-operative which also released records by Final Fantasy, Ninja High School, Katie Stelmanis, Lenin I Shumov, The Hank Collective, Fucked Up, and The Phonemes, among others. Other Creeping Nobodies CD and vinyl releases appeared on Deleted Art, fromSCRATCH, Bloodworks Music, Kosher Rock Records, and on a number of compilation albums.
The band line-up changed a number of times over the years, the most stable occurring between 2004–2007 consisting of Westerholm, Uher, Amos, McDonough, and Richardson. In 2007, Westerholm himself left prior to the band's last recordings and final tour in Europe. The band's last performance occurred in May 2009, and at that time The Creeping Nobodies were Dennis Amos, Sarah Richardson, Valerie Uher, and Matthew McDonough.
