The American band SUBNOVA* was a two-piece formed in the San Francisco Bay Area during the latter 1990s by Reverend Bill on 5-string Yamaha electric bass and Matrox on a Carlos steel-string. No known recordings of their sessions exist. Luminous Red Nova continues to explore concepts of DIY garage band music.
