Lagartija Nick is an experimental rock band from Granada, Spain. Formed in the early 90s by singer / bassist Antonio Arias, guitarists Miguel Angel Pareja and Juan Codorniu, and drummer Erick Jimenez, the group released their first album, "Hipnosis" in 1991. In 1992 the group was signed by Sony Music. Their second album, "Inercia" was produced by Owen Davies (who had produced The Rolling Stones, The Jam, and Dire Straits among others). The record was a critical hit upon its release. The group's breakthrough album, "Omega", came out in 1996.
