BIOGRAPHY:
NiCad began in 2004 when five young foreign
students met each other in The Hague, Holland.
With members coming from Japan, Israel, Chili,
U.S.A and Germany, this group quickly picked up
their own unique style. Within one month of
their first show, they performed in front of
175,000 people at the music festival, ParkPop,
which then placed them in limelight of their
local scene.
As 3Voor12 says, “Each of the band-members
stands for everything that live music should be.
It’s the performance that shows that this group
produces music straight from the heart.“ Their
self-built instruments blend together with
vocals, guitars, keyboards, and drums to create
a passion driven show that keeps you on the edge
of your seat, hoping for more. The sound is a
bit like what would probably happen if Faith No
More covered a song by Beck and asked Radiohead
to do the instrumentation.
Since NiCad's first album, “everyday I grow“,
was release in 2006 they have played in venues,
festivals, and on radio stations throughout the
Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and also Israel.
Currently, they are on a return tour in Israel
and are preparing for the finals of the Grote
Prijs Zuid Holland this April 4th. In late
April, they will begin their tour of Germany and
France, and then return to to their home, The
Netherlands, to release their next EP, “The
Hill”. For the spring and summer, NiCad is
preparing for another tour which will include
Belgium and England.
