Likely Looks: Nico Vega - Burn Burn

Nico Vega just keep better and better in 2009 for me! With their self-titled debut album set to be released on February 3 and a tour with Semi Precious Weapons, they are ready to make a big splash in the music world.

Their new video for their single "Burn Burn" is a twisted version of Leonardo's famous painting "The Last Supper". Directed by the Skinny Directors (they also did the Devandra Bernhart video for "Carmensita"), the clip shows the band destroying instruments, people throwing food...its one supper I know I would like to attend. Who could turn down a good food fight?

Here's the video:

Likely Looks: Nico Vega - Be Giving

After seeing Nico Vega on the Tankfarm Future Sounds tour I literally flipped out on how good the were. Aja (the singer) is like a Bjork gone hardcore with a voice so strong it will blow any crowd away.

This band is brilliant...and so is this video for "Be Giving"
