The Nice Ones

The Nice Ones are not consciously a "dance band," although people dance and Pastor Dan likes to dance on stage. The band's approach to writing abandons any approach at all as so much has been done and said so well. The Nice Ones are haunted by the blues. They go running scared into an experimental abyss, hitting walls and falling into each other. They don't owe the listener anything but revere when people dance or sing back the words or, on the rare occasion, mosh. Sometimes people stare and wonder what the hell is going on, sometimes it's best to keep them guessing. The Nice Ones are partial to being in the dark: no direction, no real goal, no apparent need to describe or understand anything they're doing or what or who they might sound like. When they give in to the vulnerable process of trying to create and avoid becoming insane or at each other's throats, The Nice Ones are at their best. Then the kids will sing and dance and punch and push and smile and screw.
