I was heading into my teens when these guys first put out an album. Solitary Confinement, Stand Up ans Spit, Chelsea Nightclub, and of course Sound of the Suburbs. They headlined in Auckland NZ a few years later and were superb live. I had read (maybe NME) that Nicky was the son of a local counciller (a well known one). Anyone know if that's correct or not?
