Nice Strong Arm Concert & Tour History (Updated for 2026)

Nice Strong Arm Concert History

Nice Strong Arm were formed 1987 in Austin, Texas. Initially boasting two drummers (on their debut LP "Reality Bath") the band stripped down to a three-piece (consisting of Kevin Thomson, Jason Asnes and Jeffrey Kent Hoskins), moved to New York where they were immersed in an already densely populated alternative rock scene. They initially found comparison amongst the likes of Live Skull, Swans and Sonic Youth (the latter of whom the band were initially criticised for sounding too alike).
