Sounds Like
Let's see...Ned's music is like a sonic Long Island Iced Tea--strong, consisting of several ingredients, and apt to cause dizziness, headaches, and deviant behavior. Please listen responsibly.
Contrary to what some may say, Ned Nibiru is not the name of anyone in particular, but rather the unique moniker of a five-piece punk rock outfit from Grand Haven, Michigan. The band started rocking in the fall of 2000, when Tim, Mike, and Dave already having played together for several years in another band asked Jeff to play guitar for an entirely new project. The group asked longtime friend and band mate Jim to join the ensemble in October 2002. Jim only asked that the beer they drink at practice be cold and and in good supply, a condition the guys readily agreed to. They have been gigging regularly around West Michigan ever since, playing as many dates at rock and roll bars, underground clubs, and parties as they can muster.
Ned released a self-titled CD in September 2003. In May 2009 Jeff decided to call it quits with the band, having been designated the sole living heir to the crown of a small but highly influential country in Central Europe. Having weathered such a drastic--if understandable--change to the lineup, Ned has decided to remain a four-piece and focus on producing its forthcoming, long-awaited followup LP, due for release as soon as they get off their lazy butts and do the necessary work. It is, of course, still the band's undying hope to play as many shows as promoters will confirm, continue building a fan base in Michigan and beyond, and find at last that holy grail of all beer lovers--the bottomless pint.
