The Nice Boys is a power pop band hailing from Portland, Oregon. They were formed in 2004 by ex-Exploding Hearts guitarist Terry Six, studio keyboardist Brian Lelko, drummer Alan Mansfield, and Colin Jarrell and Gabe Lageson of The Riffs, who, like the Exploding Hearts, were influenced by the punk and rock music of the late 1970s. The Nice Boys are signed to San Francisco/Los Angeles based record company Birdman Records and completed a partial American tour in fall 2006.
