The Nigels started when Sam and James Experience members formed together in short lived abba-in-a-reggae/ska-way covering band, Skank You For The Music. After the sudden demise of Skank You in a freak canoe incident, The Nigels were born.
We're only making plans for Nigel.
We only want whats good for him.
The Nigels are three geeks from Wiltshire determined to shuffle awkwardly into your record collection. Singer/Songwriter/Spy/Vile little human/Guitarist Melvin met Singer/Bassist/Bullfighter/Climber Gordon in the bath branch of Games Workshop back in '97, Gordon's Lizardmen roundly trounced Melvin's High Elves with a complex pincer movement taking the advantage that Gordon's Skink Archers could move through the shallow river. By the time Melvin's Handmaiden's of the Everqueen had began to battle the Saurus Warriors half of them were gone (and with toughness 5 and two attacks Saurus Warriors are not to be challenged with only half a unit) Gordon's Stegadon was picked off by Melvin's aggressive chariots and High Elf Lord but the Elves were surrounded and eventually destroyed by a nice peice of luck from the Wind's Of Magic deck.
This early meeting of the two caused a deep mistrust and sour hatred, but a return battle on Gordon's kitchen table saw Melvin's High Elves find their victory at last, now the two could be friends. Now what though? They had battled each other twice now, who else could their armies fight?
In a cruel twist of fate Gordon remembered his brother Joey No Mates commanded a hefty Dark Elf army. By lunch time the three were pawing through the rulebook to print out roster sheets, rolling twelve sided die and drinking vimto together. A band must follow...
A few years later realising they had better chances of impressing girls by learning instruments rather than social skills the three picked up Guitar Bass and Drums and formed with drinking buddy James "The Sam and James Experience" and later "Skank You For The Music". Due to being aggressively famous and successful in Ballroom Disaster James left the band and there was a bizarre period of musical limbo. Luckilly a good slap and an afternoon of singing old Courtney Love songs sorted them out and they chose to play Melvin's original songs under the name "The Nigels". Lightening struck and the wizards of old opened the void into the unknown, leaving us at dangerous risk to the winds of magic. The Nigels are here. Hear them.
The Nigels are always free to play garages, bus stops and parties. Give us an e-mail [email protected]. x x x
