BIOGRAPHY:
Falkirk band formed
by Daniel Adam (drums), Ross Fairweather (vocals / guitar, ex-Shine),
Billy Kay (bass, ex-July Days) &
Andy Pratt (guitar), who have gigged furiously since 2003, so much so that frontman
Fairweather gave up his job to concentrate on music. Mr Nice ran a regular sunday
night gig at Rialto's in Falkirk for a couple of years. The band are a powerful
force live, so much so that the public often want them to play cover versions,
which is a shame because they have some great songs of their own. In 2004 they
reached the finals of the heats for "Big In Falkirk", whilst playing
over sixty live dates that year, including one as part of the "Way To Blue"
festival.2005 saw this live schedule continue, as they promoted their debut self-entitled EP. In summer the band travelled to London to hold rock music workshops with schoolchildren, as well as playing a few dates in the capital. Kay also played with Five Park Drive during this time, and was joined by Adam early in 2006, whilst Fairweather continued a busy solo career. With all this outside activity it was inevitable that the band split in March 2006. By the end of the year Pratt was helping out The International Pop Assassins.
