The Loose Nuts: The Loose Nuts' single, "Wishen," earned Gotham its first Gold Record when it was chosen for the soundtrack to the 1999 hit film American Pie (Universal Pictures). Oh God! Help Our Fans, their Gotham debut, contains this single, and eight more satisfying ska-punk tracks, which led to an invite to the Vans Warped Tour.
