Nikki Sudden
July 15, 1956 – March 26, 2006
Nikki Sudden was an English post-punk singer-songwriter who, along with his brother Epic Soundtracks, built a loyal following in Swell Maps and later Nikki Sudden & the Jacobites. Fans gravitated toward Sudden’s music due in part to its sound that was noticeably influenced by early Stones, Faces, T.Rex and Johnny Thunders. Sudden died after a show on March 26, 2006. He had been working on a new album which was released later that year.
