Artist description Sifting through the music collections of Nick P, you’d rediscover some of the greatest music from the last four decades. It’s hard to imagine that an artist could mesh so many influences into one distinct sound. Yet, P has mixed the rock from the 70’s, the flare of the 80’s, and the edge of today’s music into a fresh, new sound that he likes to call Plain-Clothes Glam Rock. Since the release of his self-produced independent album, My Favorite Clich� in December of 2000, P has been playing solo shows to promote and sell it. He says that everyone who owns a copy of it loves it. “It’s amazing that something recorded in a closet could turn out so well.” P shows are full of energy. Nick is infamous for leg kicks a la David Lee Roth and Axl Rose-like mic dances. Born Nicholas Peay (pronounced “Pay”), P’s guitar skills are entirely self-taught, and after five years of music theory training, he also taught himself the piano and bass. “I scream like Adam Sandler as well, or so I’m told anyway.” He’s led bands in two different cities, during which he developed his song writing craft. P’s recent songs, both musically and lyrically, have become wittier and more distinctively his own. “I Dream in Lime,” written November 2001, is essentially about strange dreams. The clever lyrics and catchy hooks make reference to Billy Joel, Greenday, and Superman. “Carolina Sofa,” written in March 2002, is what P calls his rock anthem. “When my mom listened to it, she said it sounded like something Aerosmith would have done in the 70’s, which is exactly what I wanted the song to sound like.” P is currently recording his new songs for the album Occupational Therapy that he hopes to release sometime in 2003.
