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.

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
