Nico Vega Boldly Announces Return With Rousing New Single “$5”
Indie rock band Nico Vega releases “$5,” the band’s first new music since 2018. Nico Vega: singer Aja Volkman, guitarist Rich Koehler, and drummer Dan Epand (who also produced the track) are happy to announce the return of original member Michael Peña back into the fold. Peña, whose mother the band is named after, was the original drummer but left early in the band’s history due to the demands of a burgeoning acting career which would see him get roles in movies such as End Of Watch, Narcos: Mexico, Crash, and Ant-Man. Peña currently plays bass with the band, his original instrument.
To mark the occasion of the new music, the band shares a music video for “$5,” directed by drummer Epand and now on YouTube.
“We’ve all somehow come back together by some cosmic force for the rebirth of Nico Vega. There is a chemistry inside the dynamic of the four of us that is deep and explosive and we couldn’t be more excited as we step into this new beginning.” – Nico Vega
“$5” is the first song to be released from an upcoming Epand-produced album Make It Out Alive.
Nico Vega plans to tour heavily in support of both single and album. The made appearances recently at the C3 party at SXSW in Austin and last night rocked New York’s Mercury Lounge today they announce a string of summer dates culminating in Lollapalooza. Before the band embarks on that run, Nico Vega will be at the Moroccan Lounge in their hometown of Los Angeles on April 3.
