As a result of their catchy tunes, fun performances and constant touring Nova & the Experience have established a wide fan base across the country. A fan base that the band affectionately call CATS. It is this fan base and recent achievements such as reaching number 3 on the AIR Independent Music Charts; that has given them the opportunity to support ‘WHEATUS’ on their 2012 Australian Tour in September 2012.
