| | | 10 | Fibbers | Mon,26th Feb | | From the Evening press"It wasn't until The Nicoles made an appearance that the room really got busy - whether due to a loyal fan-base or a sudden influx of latecomers. The stage was now obscured by a tightly crammed group of supporters.The band gave a well-polished opening, demonstrating faultless control of their instruments throughout and producing a truly anthemic sound.Motivating the audience, their final song was met with a spectacularly riotous response, and one was left with the conviction that this York quartet deserves some attention."
- Ian - Ian | | 10 | Fibbers | Fri,5th Jan | | First time seeing this york based 4 piece and what a pleasure ! Hard to put them into any kind of bucket but theres a lot of the cure and the doves going on here. Their myspace tracks sound professional and slick, and their live set reinforces this - a top performance , and what a following! Haven't seen such a crowd for a support act for many years! This band have a great deal going for them - youth, tight & polished songs, a unique sound and dedicated following . Keep an eye out for them! And I can't finish without giving the drummer a special mention - had a very heated discussion with my illustrious colleague / chaperone about whether the nicoles were using a drum machine or not (they weren't. Bugger - that cost me 50p). Well all I can say is if yamaha need to calibrate their new drum machine to check it can keep time give this guy a call! - yorknights | | 9 | Fibbers | Fri,5th Jan | | Solid, top drummer, a good sound and the guitarist had a top (fx) rack - Webbers | | 9 | Fibbers | Fri,5th Jan | | Great voice. Spookily like Tracey Chapman. All songs sounded weirdly familiar (in a good way!) - Rach | | 9 | Fibbers | Fri,5th Jan | | Good home baking. - sorry, private joke. Top band thou, enjoyed their set! - Marge | | 9 | Fibbers | Fri,5th Jan | | Good home baking? oh yes of course I get it. Nice one Marge! THe Nicoles were ace too - Val | | 10 | Fibbers | Mon,18th Dec | | The Nicoles were on top form on the 18th as usual. Fibbers was packed and everyone was well up for it. The Nicoles only came on stage at 10 15 but were well up their set. they opened with a new song which was brill and paced on through their set. As the set got to about half way through The Nicoles began to play their best songs. Another new song played was AMBULANCE which again is a fantastically powerful/fast song. Their next new song was the emotional PLANS about one of Ben's (the front mans) plans apparently... It was the stand out song of the night for me... Well done Nicoles.
The mosh pit came into full swing when the nicoles played their last two songs of the evening... SHAKING MY CELL and XBOX AND FOOD.
Go and see this band, they are brilliant to watch and nice guys who will usually come and say hi after their set!!
James. - James Lindley | | 10 | Fibbers | Mon,18th Dec | | The 18th was a quality night as usual. They played some new songs, AMBULANCE and PLANS which were amazing. Cant wait to hear them recorded.. Support band THE NOVELTIES were also brill.
get down to Fibers and see The Nicoles on the 5th of JAn! Gna be brill! - Tori | | 10 | Fibbers | Mon,18th Dec | | Another great set from The nicoles, with new and old songs. Highlights of the night included two new songs "ambulance" and "plans". Ambulance was the stand out song for me, powerful with a great pace and shows that this young band are always improving. By the end of the set, the moshpit was really moving as the crowd were treated to two favourites, XBOX nd FOOD, and SHAKING MY CELL.
An awesome night all round!!- charlotte kitchman - charley Kitchman | | 10 | Fibbers | Mon,18th Dec | | The Nicoles were on really late whcih was a bit annoying, but it was well worth the wait.
They came on strong with loads of fans still in the venue, their short unnamed set opener was a wiked tune. Followed by the anthemic Put Your Lights ON that got everyone in Fibbers screaming the lyrics..
I usually dont like this type of music but The Nicoles are doing a wiked job at the mo and continue to make wiked tunes, VERYY Good band.
Jeremy - Jeremy | | 10 | Fibbers | Mon,18th Dec | | I've always been a huge fan of the Nicoles and they did not dissapoint me tonight. Full of adrenaline after playing a set of my own i thoroughly enjoyed theirs, maybe even more so than my own, highlights being the epic, saddening yet uplifting '5 miles' and fan-favourite singalong 'xbox and food'. This is a very tight band whose style reminds me slightly of Placebo but is quite unlike anything I've ever heard. reccomended methinks! - Pete Wise |
