Nico Vega is an American indie rock band formed in 2005 in Los Angeles, California, United States. They consist of lead vocalist Aja Volkman, lead guitarist Rich Koehler, drummer Dan Epand,[1] and bassist (former drummer) Michael Peña.

The group has released two albums Nico Vega (2009)[2] and Lead to Light (2014).[3][4][5] Billboard described Lead to Light as possessing "some of the most unstoppable pop-rock hooks heard all year."[4] After a hiatus announced on June 6, 2016, the band returned nearly two years later on April 6, 2018, when Volkman announced a new single and a return on her Instagram.[6]

In 2020, the band went into a second hiatus as Volkman and Epand formed a new duo called TWWO, and released their debut EP "Pull the Knife Out".[7] The band reunited in 2023, with the return of Michael Pena, as they announced production of new music and an upcoming show in Los Angeles.
