After releasing their debut EP, ChooseYourWordsPoorly, on their own in early 2006 and establishing themselves as a popular draw on the local concert scene thanks in large part to Volkman's uninhibited and minimally clothed on-stage performance style, Nico Vega signed with MySpace Records, the new recording arm of the popular social networking site, for their second EP, 2007's No Child Left Behind. Their first full-length self titled debut album was released in February of 2009. It featured three songs produced by Linda Perry -- So So Fresh, Wooden Dolls and Gravity - while the rest were produced by Tim Edgar. The album was mixed by Tchad Blake. The band's popularity soared when they performed three songs on Last Call with Carson Daly in 2009.
Nico Vega toured actively in 2009 supporting their first album with acts such as former Bush singer Gavin Rossdale, Semi Precious Weapons, Neon Trees, Manic Street Preachers, and Shiny Toy Guns. In 2010 they toured with The Soundtrack of Our Lives, Metric, Sweethead, Saint Motel, and Imagine Dragons. In 2011 they toured with She Wants Revenge and Blondie. In 2012 they toured with Neon Trees.
The song "Beast" off Nico Vega's first self titled album was featured in a trailer for the video game Bioshock Infinite in October of 2012 creating a renewed interest in the track.
The band's sophomore album, titled We Are The Art, will be out in April of 2013 on Five Seven Music. We Are The Art was recorded in studios around Los Angeles as well as at Sonic Ranch Studios in Texas. It showcases the band's trademark blues-laden guitar rock, with soaring synths thrown in for good measure.
At the end of October 2012, Nico Vega debuted a video of the title track, We Are the Art, on Vice.com. It was written and directed by Daniel Epand, the band's drummer.

Nico Vega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you walked in to come over.
You said,
"Come on girl, join the party. You look lonely."
And then suddenly I replied, I said
"I'm afraid of almost everything, I'm not sure what kind of songs to sing."
And when I met ya, you made me think.
I believe,
I believe,
I believe,
That this is your life and it can rule you.
You believe that things are better when left unsaid.
Well you're a fool 'cause you don't believe anything good can happen to the people it should.
Well I believe in you,
So get over yourself.
No one had ever spoken to me like that.
Uh yeah, it kinda turned me on.
But I was foolin'
Actin' cool and
I was hopeless
Well I'm better off on my own.
Well I'm afraid of almost everything,
I'm not sure what kind of songs to sing.
And when I met ya, you made me think.
That I could be almost anything.
That I could rise above it all endlessly.
And you brought me back to life.
