Greg Nix has been playing guitar with Shane McLeay since April 2009 and has co-written some of the songs on Shane’s new album Odyssey and is also very influential in the overall sound of the album.

Greg grew up around music and picked up his first guitar at fourteen and since then guitar has been a major part of his life. Greg is currently lead singer and guitarist for the very popular band “Such Is Life”.

Some of the bands Greg has played in are:

1996: Necromancy – Recorded their self titled E.P. at Shoreshot Studios then their second album “Age Of Reform” at Turn Around Music” in 1998. Necromancy went on to be very successful winning high profile contests back to back.

2004-2006 Greg played in Tru-Test-Self recording a self titled album at Rotten Crypt Studios, then he went on to play in various cover bands including Eclipse Theory and Vast Vandetta.

In 2007 Greg started playing in Such Is Life and recorded “The History Of Things To Come” at Paradyme Studios. Such Is Life is one of the highest profile bands on the coast today and have a large fan base. Check out their my space page

Shane was looking for a guitarist who was available and who would fit in to help finish the “Odyssey” album and Greg was recommended by Jason Brooks. After a brief meeting the night before the shooting of the film clip for Hold On Greg was in and committed to the project between his Such Is Life commitments. Greg featured in the Hold On film clip and has been a key member of Shane’s band ever since.

“When we were writing the songs for the album we would sit down with acoustic guitars and build each song in that way and man, its like Greg could just plug into the energy that was going on and between Jason Greg and I we came up with some pretty good songs and some very catchy arrangements”, said Shane.
