The Nix Dicksons didn’t grow up in the suburbs. Their dads’ weren’t accountants and their moms didn’t drive SUV’s. The Nix Dicksons grew up in small towns, catching tadpoles and climbing trees in places where boys could be boys. They grew up with firm morals and a blue collar work ethic. If Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn listened to the Pixies and the Beach Boys they would have grown up to be a lot like the Nix Dicksons.

People dig the Nix Dicksons. They’ve been spun all over in places like Austin, Texas on a show called This Great White North, featured on X92.9's Dailies Program, charted with their debut demo Working on the Weekend at 16 on the CJSW’s Top 50 Countdown and keep getting emails from this nice DJ in Mexico City who tells them to come down and play some shows. They have shared the stage with acts like Molten Lava, Passenger Action, Maybe Smith and The Lions. They have been featured on websites like Indie Calgary, Nuvo Press and Punk Radio Cast.com. Bassist Tanner Holthe finished 2 in the Best Newcomer Category and 3 in the Best Song Category in the 2009 Calgary Folk Music Festival Song Writing Contest and was a semi-finalist in the 2009 U.K. Song Writing Contest.

The Nix Dicksons are the most entertaining live band around. They throw space shows with rocket ships and cardboard planet cut-outs. They have video montages of 80’s cartoons which project on the back of the stage. They have balloons galore and bubbles and party hats for people who stand in the front row. They have sing-a-longs and dance offs and they welcome anyone and everyone to come join the show.

It is 100% true that in January 2009 guitarist Rob Wikstrom passed out, got diagnosed with a brain tumor, took a few months off, underwent a successful surgery and got right back on stage...because you can’t keep a good man down.

Hey guys, thanks for the shout out, but we aren't a joke band. Dan is a stand up comic and he is releasing a new comedy album this upcoming year so I thought we would showcase the opening track on the album on our myspace! We are serial and we will record some more serial tunes
Tammy!! thanks for comming to check us out las week at vern's... cool band by the way i like the sound... perhaps play a show together next time were down? keep in touch!
Just a reminder to listen to THE NIX DICKSONS on THIS GREAT WHITE NORTH. It's an ALL CANADIAN music show FRIDAYS 4:30-6pm CST on 91.7 KOOP FM in Austin, Texas. You can listen online at www.KOOP.org.
Thanks dude! and seeing as Dave is in Deluge as well, we think you can make it! we are playing around 7:30 so it would be stellar if you could come out!
It was sweet meeting you guys this weekend! What a crazy ridiculous amazing good time. I'll have to come to your next gig and purchase the album since I forgot to get one at the hotel!
haha for sure guys! hopefully you will do the same for us!
we ended up landing the opening spot on Nov 26th with Kiros, Mapping the Escape, ...And Explode!, Take the Shot and Lindsay Man, and thats pretty cool in our books! and we are playing at Tubby Dog Dec 5th with Innder City Elegance!
Hey boys! I was just listening to wanderlust and it reminded me of sitting in the park in kelowna and getting ripped and finishing off some parts, nice
Guys, We are so excited to play together on the 5th. Your practically like the coolest band in the world. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
thanks, we worked really hard on these songs and are super stoked to play some shows, problem is we cant find any all age ones. Do you know any venues that could hold all age shows? every since the new black got shut down our hopes and dreams were shattered haha.
