****MAJOR NIMBUS UPDATE****

What do you want first, the good news or the bad news?

Well, lets get the bad news out of the way first. Nimbus is currently and officially not an active entity anymore. We have been pulled in various directions by the forces of life and have all moved on to new endeavors. Luckily, the music we created will live on and we feel very proud of all the art we created together through the years. Perhaps even more importantly we have felt the love and support of so many amazing people for many years, and wish to extend the utmost of gratitude to you all for being a part of our story!!!

Rob is poised to take over the world with his new band Honeysmash. Check them out at myspace.com/honeysmash. Tim is now residing in Kansas with his new wife Andrea with their first child on the way in just a few short months! CONGRATS GUYS!!! David is back in school studying music production and has a tough decision ahead after getting accepted to every college and university he applied to. Adam is currently teaching the next generation of young rockers, working on his first ever ‘solo’ album scheduled for completion later this year, and collaborating on new music with talented artists such as Adam Werner and Shawn Lyon.



Tim, David and Adam spent the past few months working on the first REMIX from the unending dream album for the tune ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ which is finished and up now on our myspace page! Its not what you might expect, it’s a full-on electronic reworking of the tune which was mixed and mastered buy audio god (and our good friend) Greg Ripes!

There’s also a YOUTUBE VIDEO of the tune up on our profile (and at youtube.com/nimbusmusic) featuring a “throughout the years” slide show.

We wish to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts for listening to our music! Every ending yields a new beginning and we are all excited about the future!

Peace and Good vibes from NIMBUS…

..May 4th, 08..

we apologize for lack of updates lately. for the past few months, we have been on the first legitamate break since we started the band, experiencing some much needed down time for ourselves and our loved ones.

the decision has been made for nimbus to reconvene back home in los angeles when the break is done in a month or so. the next adventure for nimbus includes unlocking some pent up creative energy and writing a plethora of new material, experimenting with new sounds and ideas, rocking some shows in our hometown and surrounding cities, new designs for our myspace profile and website, new photoshoots (which means new puzzles haha), and hopefully a national tour before the year is up to get us back to all the awesome places and people we met in 2007.

more info coming soon... in the meantime, unending thanks to each and every one of you for supporting our endeavors. we love you all!

peace and good vibes~ adam


..Jan 18th, 08..

and to the new friends and fans we made along the way, your support is the fuel that drives us. thank you to every single one of you who was at a show, bought our cd, passed out flyers, wore our shirts, told your friends about us, or just stopped by to our myspace every so often to have a listen. you guys are the lifeblood of nimbus and we cant thank you enough!

..TOURING 101-a study guide-..
syllabus:after a few weeks touring the midwest with LENNEX, self-proclaimed newfound touring experts, NIMBUS, relinquish tips of the trade and key midwest facts...

*make sure the whole band is in the vehicle before leaving; if one must be left behind, the bassist is probably the most easily replaceable.
*when in Fort Wayne, IN, look for the old man with the long grey beard. He will enjoy your music immensely, most noticeably via his fingers.
*touring with the amazing band, Lennex, is probably a good idea(if you have extra floorspace during off hours)
*asking a rockstar to play volleyball just after they did their hair makeup and nails will only set you up for dissapointment.
*a good musician is only measured by their turkey sandwich making ability(plenty of books have already been written on good turkey sandwich making).
*condemned brothels in Michigan are usually haunted, but make for very fun music venues.
*be careful, evangelests can be in rock bands too!
*bringing tools can make the difference of being trapped in a parkinglot in Harrisburg, PA at 3am, or breaking the chains to freedom.
*if you can't make good turkey sandwiches at least be good at oragami, or quit.
*the hallmark inn probably has the cleanest insect-free rocks.
*don't let the banjoist forget his banjo(then he'll try and play the triangle or something)
*if you haven't checked Lennex out, do so now. Though they might lack in the sandwich making department, they're very good at oragami.

that's pretty much all you need to be a successful touring musician. Stay tuned for my seminar on, Musical Chairs.

Thanx to Pat and Jim at Inner Sanctum for taking a liking to us, and playing our music on 92.3 Krock. If you live in Cleveland, OH, USA, Earth, you can listen to us live answering questions, and reading act 1 of Shakespear's MacBeth on said station July 15th @ ~10:00. Until then catch NIMBUS laking it up this summer touring the Great Lakes area with Lennex(singer famous from rockstar reality tv show rockstar supernova).

Thanx to all you wise and noble listeners with exceptional taste for adding an extra digit on our total myspace plays!! We now have well over 100,000 plays

and thanx to the precession of the equinoxes, and earth-crust displacement for shakin it up and keeping things fresh...

..March 12, 07..

Greetings from Cleveland, Ohio. A lot has happened with NIMBUS since the last update, so let’s start with the now and work backwards. (If you read the rest of this message through a mirror held to your computer screen, it’ll make a lot more sense…) We just got back from our 6th show in Ohio and for the first time as a band fully realized the uncontrollable power of “word of mouth!” This was our 3rd show at the same venue, but this time instead playing our hearts out to the 4 fortunate regular bar-folk (as did the previous two shows) the place was filled with booze-loving, snow-dwelling, overly applauding, great listeners with exceptional taste in music! Next stop: indoctrination into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (then the akashic hall of records but that’s a different story, and our stuff isn’t available on vinyl yet!).

Other mentionable Ohiolights…It fuckin snows here! With wind-chill factors of -20 and supposedly the worst blizzard in 20 years, it’s been an interesting winter. But I guess the snow looks pretty on camera. Check out the pics of us in the snow and walking on frozen Lake Erie strewn about our site! We’ve met some truly amazing bands in our travels, the coolest being -Seer-(www.seerband.com), and Lourds (www.lourdsmusic.com), both from New York. If you’ve made it this far in the NIMBUS update I urge you to check them both out for your own benefit. Hopefully you’ll see us on the road with one or both of them later this year.

By now you’d think we moved to Ohio or something. Well, that’s entirely correct as of December 06’. With a more affordable living situation, and a whole new group of people to entertain, NIMBUS is now a Midwesterner. (Don’t worry LA, we still love you and we’ll be back soon, baby). The road trip up here was awesome, I highly recommend it! All I can advise is don’t incinerate herbs that produce a skunky odor inside your motel room right before you check out the next morning…the cleaning ladies really don’t like that!

Just before moving, NIMBUS spent much time and care (and federal reserve notes) recording our first full-length album, Unending Dream. Hopefully this is already common knowledge to everyone reading this…if not, please pick up a copy! It’s really fuckin good! To enhance tasty track potential, we got to record at Sage and Sound-an amazing studio(right between recording sessions of The Mars Volta and Marylin Manson!), with Rae Dileo-an amazing producer(Filter, Army Of Anyone, Henry Rollins, Varuca Salt, etc). I think pictures of the sessions are on this site as well. Anyway, check out some of the tracks on our “songs page” and then grab a copy of the album here: www.cdbaby.com/nimbus.

That pretty much brings us to date with the Nimbusciles. If I could predict the rest of our year, I’d envision a map of the US&A and NIMBUS but an intersecting moving red line upon it.

Peace out,
-David
