Nicky Tesco (Born: 1955 - Died: February 26, 2022 in UK) was the lead singer of the late 70s British new wave band The Members who had minor UK hits with the tracks Solitary Confinement, Sound Of The Suburbs and Offshore Banking Business.

Nick’s original 1977 Punk name was Nicky Ritz but he was rechristened Nick Tesco by JC who thought that Ritz was too classy and that Tesco (the name of the UK’s cheapest supermarket at the time) suited him better.
