Description:
The Milk Parlor presents the 2020 New Year's Throwdown with music from Nice Couch and Parkers Pill Box on Tuesday, December 31, 2019.

Nice Couch (slay rock) and Parkers Pill Box (blues) bring in the New Year at The Milk Parlor for our first ever NYE celebration!

Established in January 2013, progressive psychedelic funk rock band Nice Couch has been busy consistently touring the stages of the US east coast music scene as much as possible, while at the same time perfecting their craft as one well maintained unit. With hundreds of shows under their belts, performed at hundreds of venues and festivals across the region, this professional quality, seasoned, experienced, and native Virginia rock and roll band is eager and willing to do what it takes to spread the Nice Couch sound, vibe, feel, and soul.

Nice Couch pulls influence form bands such as, Umphrey's McGee, Lettuce, The Allman Brothers, Dire Straights, Parliament Funkadelic, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Primus, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Frank Zappa, and Jimi Hendrix to name a few. Nice Couch has shared the stage with National and International acts such as Keller Williams, The Pimps of Joytime, Moon Hooch, Particle, The Motet, TAUK, Dopapod, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Big Something, as well as many others.

Originated in the small southwest Virginia college town of Radford Virginia, Nice Couch has made constant and steady strides since their early days proving them to be a staple in the Virginia and surrounding areas live rock music circuit. In 2018 Nice Couch packed up and relocated to Richmond Virginia in search of a better fitting home base with a more thriving music scene which they have found and currently reside.

Parker's Pillbox is the ultimate festy jam band, known for their fun and energetic live performances. Founder Randy Parker describes the band's essence as "Blues, as far as can be explored in any direction." With elements of funk, reggae, jazz, grunge, and even classic country, the Parker's Pillbox catalogue continually pushes boundaries and entrance audiences of all ages and musical backgrounds.

The band's "stripped down" three-piece structure follows Parker's vision of creating raw, gritty rock and roll. He is joined by professional musicians Bill Ratcliffe on bass and Adam Bryant on drums. Parker's Pillbox has been described as "a music lovers delight," with the notoriously gifted guitarist Randy Parker "making it look easy" (Robert Gropman, owner of Long Way Brewing, Radford, VA).

Randy Parker is a guitarist's guitar player, phenomenal chops with a wealth of soul. He has long been held in high regard in the blues community for his authentic style, reminiscent of legends like Jimi Hendrix, SRV, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, and Howling Wolf. Randy cites his influences as power lines, foundry dust, and the muddy banks of the New River Valley.
