Their objective: The London Stage<br /><br />Since then, they regularly played in a lot of venues around London. Their biggest achievement so far has been the UK final of the international 2005 Emergenza competition for which they played at the famous Astoria 2. At this big event, Misses Nice and in particular Nico was awarded "Best UK guitar player"...<br />And that's only the beginning...<br /><br /><span style=";font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Influences<br /><br /></span></span>Pure old Rock School, From Chuck Berry to Guns n' Roses or Metallica, From The Beach Boys and Beatles to Queen or Lenny Kravitz<br /><br />MissesNice is a mixture of those big names, able to play nice piece of acoustic guitar or Hard Rock.
