Nico Vega show at Bombardier's

This band kicks ass. You may have caught Nico Vega on Late Night w/ Carson Daley.


Lead singer Aja Volkman has a trippy-hippy neo-crunchy voodoo vibe in her voice that put all the ladies in the bar under a spell that night. I'm serious. She stood on a chair as all the women at Bombardier's danced around her. It was like they were worshipping Hecate or some other deity of witches/night or something. It was awesome. All the boys were hypnotized still. I guess my gay boy fairy powers shielded me from her Janis Joplin/Circe-style spellbinding. My free will was left in tact to grab a beer and rock out.


If I was charmed at all that night, it was by this guy. I love dudes in bands in general but I particularly like guitarist Rich Koehler for his silk cravat. He also wore a satin waistcoat before the show. Very steampunk. I like, I like.


Also, speaking of witch-y rock power, we met up with Cassie and Ruby of the late outfit Esperanto for this show. They have a band in the oven. This time, all chicks. Be on the look out.
