NICO VEGA @ The Roxy (09/08/09)

you'll stand up and rock out! that's what you should expect from Nico Vega. i'll be honest my first impressions w/ nico vega left a sour taste as i felt they were force feeding me messages of post-9/11 sentiments of the world (disdain for political regimes and sociological systems.) their studio album is good but their live show is awe-inspiring. there's blood, sweat, and tears from this band and you can feel it. even their acoustic versions of their songs are as powerful...you get their message served delightfully to you even if you least expect it. no need to wonder what happened to the music that moves a generation to question and protest their current "comfortable" lives because nico vega is present. there's no cotton candy coating w/ this band. the three member band (vocals, guitar, drums) is all they need to rock out.
check it out i'm somewhere in the crowd rockin' out:


nico vega is a tough sell to those who don't know their music and during these economic hardships it's really hard to sell it to friends who are not concert fanatics as i am, so i'm left to my own resources...more often than not i find myself feeling awkward and rather hesitant and intimidated but those i'm surrounded. fortunately my prejudices don't dictate my outlook on people/life because very soon after (which has come with experience) i've always come to conclusion of understanding and benevolence towards those i don't know/recognize. so was the case for the fans of nico vega. absolutely without a doubt a fun group to rock out w/ even if we're absolutely completely perfectly unknown strangers. we found the common denominator and were able to have an amazing evening of music.

can't say for sure if they'll make the top twenty pop billboard (seacrest should be out) but this band is worth the a night of rock.

enjoy the music.
