Yep , the ORIGINAL Niki Syxx (Jeff Nicholson) on bass....very rare and very cool.

Bought their album in '81--- more staying power & energy than many thousands of skinny tie/grunge/postpunk/new wave/power pop/metal/trad rock etc etc bands that came and went in the last 3 decades.

Wow, Wronski must be like 12 years old back then. Check out Slacktone to see how great he and Dusty got.

..wow, & their bass player is a 'lefty' playin his bass upside down, haven't seen that before.. after hearing one of their albums I knew Jon was one of the better lead guitar surf players around, it's too bad they don't come out with many albums today..
*Jon and the Nightriders* ride again! These four original members reunited in Aug of 2009 to perform and record five songs for a live audience. After almost 29 years and no rehearsal, they rocked the crowd like never before. Greg Ecklar also sat in on one tune. Incredible! Coming soon!
