Thomas Lackner (Drums) and Ramon Riezouw (Singer/Songwriter) started playing together in 2005. Being friends and neighbors since childhood, built a solid foundation for creating a band. After Dominik Brunner (Bassist) joined the band the genre of music slowly took shape. After a year of rehearsing regularly, they invited Florian Nothegger (Guitarist) to the band and with him found the completion of members.
The band adopted several names before deciding on “Nihils”, which describes a “non belief” in any rules that apply to music. The music which has a warm, dynamic and rich feel to it, hovers somewhere within the Indie/Pop/Alternative genre but varies from song to song. The band had their first local gig in 2007 and continued performing regularly from then on including shows in the UK and Germany. In 2011 the band had their first chart success with their single “Set my sail” which entered the Austrian single charts at # 14. Nihils are currently working on their second album.
