   About the Nix
We all went to high school together. ¾’s of us officially started playing under the name the nix in December of '98. Andrew Joined the band in '99 I think. We kicked Tony out for a while because he was hanging out with a bunch of Catholic Priests. Maybe he was just spending time with his girlfriend instead of coming to band practice, I forget. Whatever it was, he stopped doing it and our replacement drummer, Derek was abducted by Indians, dah, I'm sorry, I mean Native Americans, and we let Tony back in the band. That or Derek was just to busy between school, work, and 2 other bands. No, no, I think it must have been the Indian thing... or was it? We are well known for the huge growth on Andrew's left shoulder-wait, no, that can't be right. I think we are known for intense, loud, violent live performances, in which we tend to break a lot of our own instruments and band members.No, maybe it's the live performances AND the growth. That'd make sense. Brian's know for doing more drugs that Keith Richards of the Stones, or is he just known snorting coke off Keith Richards' butt. That's a lie, but honestly, we did get Tony to snort whipped cream one time. Dude J.R. is a really good guitar player. No, seriously he is. He like, goes to school for music and stuff. Some of our live preformances have included light sabers, a pinyata filled with condoms, t-shirts spelling out bad words, safety lessons about burning buildings, pornographic magazines, and the theme song from 'Team America, world Police. I need to lay off the coke. Vanilla Coke that is. Oh yeah, we will kill cute animals if you don't come to our shows.

his name is tony. his parents knew he was gonna be a dumb fuckin daygo so they named him tony. if they named him guido he might have been shrewd and clever but they went with tony, the typical guinea "i cant think of anything else to name my soon to be stupid fucking kid" name. and now he does everything WITHOUT A FUCKING SHIRT ON!! PUT ON A FUCKING SHIRT!! I'M SICK OF SEEING YOUR FLAT HAIRLESS PREPUBESCENT CHEST WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A WIFEBEATER, OH I'M SORRY A DAYGO-T, ON!! ARE YOU POOR?

Hello. I have a question. I was in guitar center the other day, and I was talking to the girl (I forget her name, I know I'm bad) who works in drums. She mentioned you guys. She also mentioned that there is a gentleman nameb "Brian" in the band. I also heard that said "Brian" goes by the name of "Brian Nix." I was also led to belive that this "Brian Nix" is not truly a "Nix." So, I a real Nix, have come to call this "Brian Nix" and anyone else who thinks they are a Nix a poser.

Thank you for your time,
Tim Nix
