Found this today. The band I once knew...

The essence of NICO is to shed the pressure of sounding like a typical mainstream band and encourage people by creating a unique, playful, and spiritual experience through their original musical style. At any given show you may hear loud guitar anthems, acoustic and playful ballads, as well as funky grooves that will make you want to "Shake what you're mamma gave ya". They've sold a total of over 7000 albums independently and continue to play shows on just about any type of stage you could imagine.

Nico is a four piece band (sometimes five or six, depending on if the flugelhorn player and fly dancer show up), consisting of lead guitars by Scotty B., vocals/guitars/hammond by Nico, drums/percussion by Pappy, and Pablo on bass guitar. The band considers itself a "Regional" act. Though none of them can really act, they are truly regional as they all live in different towns, and sometimes states. "North American based" would probably be most appropriate, as the "Band Home" continues to change based upon whose car is actually working and can transport the other members to practice somewhere else.
