Interview: Nico Vega
These days it is rare that a band or artist excites me the way Nico Vega has this year. After seeing them live at the Double Stereo SXSW show case, I am totally enamored. They are a complete package in terms of talent, sound and musicianship. Not since the days of Joan Jett or Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders have I been so infatuated by a female lead singer. Nico Vega front woman, Aja, is not only beautiful but has a voice unlike any other woman on the scene today. She will soon be the standard for future female rock groups and lead singers in the same right Deborah Harry and Pat Benatar once were. Put her with a guitar stud and an assassin for a drummer and you have Nico Vega.
