Novacaine is an American rock music group, formed in 1996 in Santa Monica, California. In the late '80s, David Hallyday had some success with his first solo records, but was unhappy. He decided to quit music, planning to do something different. But he had the idea to reform his high-school garage band, Blind Fish. Then, with his friend Erik Godal, he formed Novacaine, a kind of surf-grunge band who had some success in the US. They toured and started to get some Top 40 radio play. But at the same time, David began writing for the European Market because their label, Mercury Records asked David to write some songs in French. He made some demos and began a new and successful solo career in France. Then Novacaine was in status-quo, David saying that a new album was in the works for 2000. After
