Nick Romanenko first
came across The Professors when asked to photograph
the band as part of a major story published exclusively in
the Rutgers Focus.
Nick was one of few outsiders
to gain entrance to
the Professors inner sanctum
at the Kubey Mansion, Highland Park, NJ. The pictures Nick took that
day are now part of rock-and-roll history (e.g., the now
classic
The Professors, 1995-1997 and Kubey's Front Room). Nick was stunned by the quality of
the Professors' sound and began sitting in with the band on bass.
Nick was part of the infamous Princeton Jam and became a fully
inducted Professor at the Montclair State University gig in March, 1998, which also saw the premiere of his composition
Psychedelic Killer. His best known and loved original song
is the incomparable Nicky Land, coming deep from
within Nick's throbbing hypothalamus.
