English singer-songwriter and guitarist, Nikki Sudden, was born on July 19, 1956 in London, England. He formed the influential band Swell Maps with his brother Epic Soundtracks, releasing several successful singles and albums in the late 1970s. Known for their pioneering 'DIY Punk' sound, Swell Maps achieved #1 hits on the UK Independent Charts. After the band's breakup in 1980, Sudden embarked on a solo career and later formed The Jacobites with guitarist Dave Kusworth. Together they released two albums and gained popularity in Germany.
Sudden then returned to his solo career and signed with Creation Records, releasing five albums over five years. In 1990, he collaborated with members of R.E.M. for his album 'The Jewel Thief'. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Sudden continued to tour extensively both as a solo artist and with his backing band 'The Last Bandits'.
Tragically, Nikki Sudden passed away on March 26, 2006 in New York City after completing a series of solo performances in the USA. His legacy lives on through his extensive discography and collaborations with notable musicians such as Ian McLagan (Small Faces), Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones), Anthony Thistlethwaite (Waterboys), Dave Kusworth (Jacobites), and Darrell Bath (Dogs D’Amour /

New Wave / Post Punk

For the first time on vinyl, the one considered by many as Nikki Sudden's best album ever Red Brocade, originally released in 1999. Featuring members of Jacobites, The Chamber Strings, Wilco, etc. In 1997, British musician Nikki Sudden traveled to Chicago to work with The Chamber Strings. While there, the two parties realized that they were creatively simpatico, and soon began work on an album, a baker's dozen of thoughtful, occasionally introspective, and superbly written songs, which would appear in 1999 as Red Brocade. It's mellow singer-songwriter fare, some might call it "alt country", and that Wilco's Jeff Tweedy pops up here should give you a sense of what you're getting, as sonically, all the songs here could have been Wilco tracks. Released under license from Easy Action Records, UK. The original album released on gatefold cover double LP with inner sleeves, remastered and with liner notes by Kevin Junior (The Chamber Strings).
