Biography

One of the post-grunge era's most straightforward, impassioned groups, Oklahoma City's The Nixons were founded by singer/guitarist Zac Maloy, guitarist Jesse Davis, bassist Ricky Brooks, and drummer Tye Robinson. The group released their debut EP Every Six Seconds in 1992 on Dragon Street Records and added new drummer John Humphrey before releasing The Black Halo two years later on the Rainmaker label. This album features several songs that also turned up on their major-label debut Foma, which came out in 1995 on MCA Records. Foma spawned the radio hit "Sister" and the group capitalized on their success with nonstop touring, including dates with Soul Asylum. Two years later, the group replaced Brooks with Ricky Wolking and released their self-titled album. Though Foma failed to match the returns of their debut and the band subsequently left MCA, their consistent gigging ensured a strong cult audience for 1999's (Sample Track From) Someone Still Loves You Michael Holt: A Scrapbook For You EP, which saw the band return to Rainmaker, and their fourth album Greatest & Latest: This, That-N-The Other Thing, which was released by Koch in early 2000. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

    He doesn't see her anymore
    And yet she stands in front of him
    No communication
    Only empty words spoken
    With a memory, she lingers

    Lyrics
    I'm the one you've always dreamed of
    But could never touch
    Say that I don't do anything for you
    Then I do too much
    Can you see my halo?

    In the end, I lay the flowers
    I lay the flowers down

    That I have laid before me
    Fallin' deeper still

    Lyrics
    Lonely little girl on your island
    Won't you come to me
    I'm in a lonely little upstairs room without you
    Won't you come to me
    Come on
