The Miners Foundry Presents Nico Vega & The Trap – September 4
The Miners Foundry is proud to present Nico Vega with special opening guests The Trap, on Sunday, September 4, 2011. Nico Vega is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2005. The band consists of lead singer Aja Volkman, guitarist Rich Koehler and drummer Dan Epand. Comparisons have been made to The White Stripes in that they have never had a bass player. The band’s popularity soared in 2009 when they performed three songs on Last Call with Carson Daly. The band is known for their dynamic live performances led by singer Aja Volkman. Her vocal style has been compared to that of Karen O, Joan Jett and Janis Joplin.
In 2009, Kevin Click took up the guitar and started writing and recording original material. In early 2010, Jake and Jonathan Hansard and Jason Graham; all proficient multi-instrumentalists joined Kevin to cement the live sound of the band and to arrange tracks for the upcoming album release. Vocalist Erin Melugin joined in early 2011 to provide vocal harmonies. The Trap is an Indie Rock band not to be missed and will open for Nico Vega. Join us for a unique night of rock!
Tickets are $15.00 and available at Briarpatch, or online at www.minersfoundry.org and at the Miners Foundry Office. For more information call 530 265 5040.
