After his girlfriend sent a cassette of songs to a magazine unbeknownst to him, singer/songwriter and guitarist Nic Armstrong suddenly found himself with a record deal. But to record a proper album and play the subsequent gigs, Armstrong needed a band, so he gathered up some guys from around his base in Nottingham, England -- drummer Jonny Aitken, bassist Shane Lawlor, and guitarist Glynn Wedgewood. Armstrong released the resulting album, The Greatest White Liar, in mid-2004 through One Little Indian under his own name, though by the time the '60s British blues-influenced record made its way to stateside shelves a year later, it was now listed under Nic Armstrong & the Thieves.
