SQUEEZE & The Original NIKI SYXX Band Poster Fully AUTOGRAPHED RARE 1970's

Description

This is a true ,priceless piece of rock and roll history! This is an original, authentic band poster from the 1970's band "SQUEEZE" (US band, not UK). It is signed by Jeff Nicholson (Niki Syxx), Kerry Chester, Rick Lindley, Bobby Anglin.
In the early 1970s, Jeff Nicholson was a member of the San Francisco-based cover band The Justice Brothers featuring Sammy Hagar, pre-Montrose. This is confirmed in Sammy Hagar's autobiography "Red." From 1975 to 1978, Jeff was a member of hard rock cover band SQUEEZE who performed around SoCal, and also operated their own nightclub "Squeeze's Place" in Riverside. During this period Jeff conceived and adopted the stage name of "Niki Syxx."
Squeeze disbanded in mid 1978; Jeff continued to manage Squeeze's Place, and joined neo-surf band Jon & the Nightriders. Around this time Jeff was witnessed to by a Christian and had a powerful born-again experience that changed the course of his life. He continued to play rock n' roll, but felt moved to incorporate Christian values into his performances. He eventually relocated to Oregon and entered the ministry.
In 1979-80, future Motley Crue bassist Frank Ferrana, today known as "Nikki Sixx", was dating a girl who had also dated Jeff Nicholson in his Squeeze days. Looking through a scrapbook owned by the girl, Frank asked "Who is this Niki Syxx guy?" The girl explained and Frank concluded that the original "Niki Syxx" was not actively using the name, and decided to take it for himself with a minor spelling change. The rest is history.
Published newspaper articles dating from the late '70s confirm indisputably that Jeff Nicholson was the first and original "Niki Syxx", and Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx/Frank Ferrana has gone on record to state the history as I have related, and his choice to use the name for himself. Jeff Nicholson has always been okay with this.
As recently as 2018, Jeff revived his "Niki Syxx" alias for some solo music performances in which he performed rock classics with reworked lyrics that reflect his Christian faith.
