Nikoo signs to Beep! Beep!

Ho! Ho! Ho! We’re preparing the loudest Christmas present you’ll ever get. And you will call it: Nikoo.
Yes, it’s official and we’re more then excited to announce that Nikoo has signed to Beep! Beep! Back up the Truck.

“We have been keeping a close eye on Nikoo since day one and are great admirers of their unique sound, productivity and insanely loud live perfomance“, says co-owner and main bear Nicolai Adolfs. “Without a doubt a beautiful addition to our eclectic roster.”

The members of Nikoo first met in early 2010 in Studio 58 in Eindhoven, where they composed and recorded their self-titled debut in just three days. Follow-up ‘Friends & Family’ was laid out and recorded in the same fast pace. Just like its predecessor, the album will be distributed digitally only and sold on a ‘pay what you want’-basis. Renowned music photographer Nick Helderman (known for working with CocoRosie, Sleepy Sun and Women) has signed for the artwork of this release. The seven-track mini album is available for download on both the band and the label’s websites from Monday December 20th onwards.

Nikoo is off to a strong start in 2011 with a performance at Eurosonic 2011 on Wednesday January 12th. Both the recording of the third album and the first European tour are scheduled for the first quarter of 2011.

More soon. Now first listen to this exclusive preview of the upcoming record: Shameless
