NexCyx to Perform Aug. 27 in Union Theater
NexCyx [nex-ix], the alternative hip-hop band from Barbados, will perform live at the Arkansas Union Theater at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 27. This band exudes an unmistakable energy—it’s fresh, upbeat and bold. Together, it seems like they’re just what the music industry ordered.
NexCyx began in 2004 and has since evolved into a celebrated outfit with a repertoire of original hit music and a solid, growing fan base. “Gossip Girl,” released in 2009, became the band’s breakout single and instantly landed as a fan favorite. Hits like “Queen,” “On The Floor” and “Nightclub Superheroes” also followed, etching a place for NexCyx on the international music stage—and ushering in a new era of fandom.
NexCyx holds an MTV Artist of the Week accolade, an Artist of the Month title from Rockwired.com and a Band of the Year honor at the noted Barbados Music Awards.
