Nick Bassett is an American musician, producer and composer from Modesto, California. He was the bassist of shoegaze band Nothing[2][3] and is the lead guitarist of shoegaze band Whirr.[1] He also played guitar in the original lineup of blackgaze band Deafheaven.[4]
Bassett formed Whirl in October 2009.[1] The band changed its name to Whirr after a musician also named Whirl trademarked the name and threatened legal action.[5] Bassett wrote demo versions of songs and showed them to the other members, after which they decided to play shoegazing-influenced music.[1]
