That’s right, review #2 of their live show only this time it was at the Velvet Jones, a place with a real stage, a real bar, and real speakers. AWESOME.
Nico Vega killed it as usual. The crowd was pretty thin for a Thursday night but that did not hinder Dan, Rich and Aja melting peoples faces with their take on good ol’fashion American Rock. I have already reviewed a Nico Vega live set, a quick recap, they RULE. So go support live music and buy their shit.
The set list was a bit on the short side but still killer. The 3rd song they played was brand spanking new, it was called “taxi cab” or something along that lines. In fact I got a chance to chat with the drummer Dan, who is a kick ass dude and likes to fucking ROCK. Dan was telling me that they got some new shit that they can’t wait to lay it down on their new album, which is yet to be announced. If its anything like “taxi cab” then the new album should dominate my iPOD for many weeks. They also did a rendition of “coal miners song” which was a treat to hear live(did you get the Halloween reference?). They closed the show with Beast, which is what they closed with last time they were in SB, and is a great song to end on.
Powerful vocals, killer guitar riffs and some serious sweating out drumming makes seeing Nico Vega a must see every time they are in town.
