AA-S Best Bet - A Few Nice Things: Squint your eyes and the local five-piece A Few Nice Things looks a bit like a vamped-out version of the Black Crowes. Vocalist Jesse ****, formerly Jesse "Vain" of the now defunct band the Vain, has a resemblance to Chris Robinson, what with his long black hair, swaddling gypsy scarves and sheaths of form-fitting black clothing. Why are these elements worth mentioning? Because A Few Nice Things are one of a few local bands whose looks closely reflect their sound. If you guessed strung-out Southern blues rock, you're spot on. — Shannon McGarvey (www.austin360.com)
"If A Few Nice Things had been around town then, and someone slipped them on the Dazed and Confused soundtrack, nobody would have been the wiser. All they need are groupies and a shark, and they’ll be in the same league as our classic rock heroes." - (www.austinme.com)
