Famous Underground is led by vocalist Nicholas Walsh, formerly frontman of the band Slik Toxik. Folks that remember life before grunge may recall the Canadian hard rock outfit kicking up a proverbial storm in the early '90s. The band achieved Gold status in Canada with their full length debut Doin' The Nasty and took home the 1993 Juno Award (Canada's version of the Grammy) for Best Album of The Year. Sadly, in spite of their success Slik Toxik called it quits in 1995 as grunge tightened its hold on the music scene. Nick isn't one to simply fade into the background, however.
