O'siyo Oginalii Tsilugi Tribe!!

Hello Friends and Welcome!!

Adm Bmb here again to give you another update on what's going on with Niobium.

SHOWS!! SHOWS!! SHOWS!!
Saturday, August 12th

This is a big one.
Ask off of work (If you need to). Tell friends to do the same (If they need to). Tell those friends to tell other friends to do the exact same thing, and do this over and over again until people on farms in Changchun are crying because they won't be able to make it.

http://www.carpemammae.info

go there for all the info.
There's going to be so much cool stuff at this show, you'll never be able to believe there could be so much cool stuff at a show.

MORE SHOWS!! SHOWS!! SHOWS!!

Remember back in the day, when we posted all those annoying bulletins asking you to go and vote for us on a website called Bodogs??
Well, because of that, and because of you putting up with it and actually voting, we qualified to play the show.
THANK YOU!!!!
Now, we need your PERSONAL support. Come out and see us compete!!

Sunday, August 27th
@ FIRST AVE!!
Bodog's Boot Camp Competition

It's an all day thing, and the details will be announced shortly. Yeah, we know it's a Sunday, but now we need your help more than ever! Mark this date on your calendar.

Other Stuff.

Thanks to everybody who came out the last few shows. Thanks to everybody who's helping us out with filming, loading, carrying, sound, pictures, make-up, costume design, and all kinds of details that that are NOT going unnoticed by us. Thank you.

As a constant reminder, we ask members of the tribe and those who are closest to us to NOT refrain from giving us any tips, advice, or pointers about what you think we could do better in any aspect. We are a constant evolving entity just like everything else, and we welcome anything that helps us along in that fashion.

Right now, we are working on 2 very important things.

The first thing is a DVD. This is already in the works, and should be completed by the end of the year at the latest. Expect live footage, interviews with the band, analysis of the Tribe, backstage antics and a host of 'secret' stuff that will be revealed when the time is right...

The second thing is our Full Length CD.
Now, this hasn't been started yet. Only certain pre-production has been completed. We'll probably have 9-10 of our songs on it, along with a few shorter special tracks. This will be started in August, and realistically won't be completed until Spring of 2007. We're doing this one right and taking our time on it. I was never able to spend the amount of time I'd have liked on the first two demos due to deadlines with school, but this one will be different. Expect more details as they unfold.

in slightly unrelated news. . .
Niobium is looking for a Live/Work space around the Twin Cities to use as our Rehearsal/Living quarters. We'd like it to ideally fit 3-5 people, have at least basic amenities. If you have any information regarding this, please contact any member of the band.

AGAIN - We are always looking for businesses to purchase ad space on the back of our flyers. Contact any one of the band members for any more info.

And lastly, if you HAVEN'T noticed by now. . .
Diggs Mahoney is making his return to the band. Things will change, but they will still be the same. He has faced hard times but is ready to be back where he belongs. Expect a slightly different vibe from us, expect some slight changes, but expect an energy more powerful than before. We have completed the six sides to our star and can now begin closing the circle. Be ready.

Namaste Tribe!

This be the Adam Bomb here to push out some information to ya on what's been happening with us.

    First of all, I would like to thank, sincerely THANK EVERYBODY who has been helping us out along the way here. We have amazing, beautiful people devoting vast amounts of valuable time and energy to helping us out, and we couldn't be doing this stuff without you.

    We have uniquely skilled performers working with us and showing off their stuff. You are being mystikal and sexy and mind blowing and awe-inspiring and you bring a facet to our existance not possible otherwise. Thank you.

    We have people KILLING the promotion. Running around, handing out flyers, helping fund and create the flyers, yelling at complete strangers about the NIOBIUM experience. All you guys are ROCKING. Amazing.

    We have people helping us transport and haul our gear. You don't know how much we appreciate it. That crap's HEAVY!

    We have people helping us do our make-up, outfits, EXCELLENT photography and Video work. You give us energy and you give us art. You help create the vibe and this wouldn't be what it is without you.

    To our closest friends (you know who you are) that have stuck by us and supported us from Day 1, who have been with us before Niobium and will continue to be with us long after. . . You guys couldn't be any cooler. Thank you.

    To all the bands we've played with: Let's keep tearing it up and showing people how we do it in Minnesota!

    Last but not least, everybody that's come to our shows, talked with us after, bought a CD or a shirt, and supported us in ANY way, shape or form. . . You are why we are here. Never forget that.

Alright. . .so what's been going on. . .

A BIG thanks to everybody who came out to Allana's benefit on May 26th @ the Rock. The show was fantastic, the energy was moving, and the support was amazing. Thanks to Syntrap, Allies in Chaos, RisingFall, Countach, Nine Pound Killer, Simplicia, Solace in Ashes, and Seazon of the Fly for helping make the night so beautiful. A big thanks to everybody who helped make the night a reality. Allana left pretty early, but I'm sure she would have been proud. Thank you.

We have quite a full roster for summer shows coming up in the next couple months. Please check out our calendar to see when and where we're playing and come live inside the experience. We have some really cool things planned and these shows will not be shows they will be EVENTS!! Come one and come all. Witness the madness firsthand!

In other news. . .

Release of New Material is coming quick and fast. We have some stuff already completed, and some in the works. We're holding off on public release until we get everything together as we want it; but expect to hear some new music on radio stations all around the Twin Cities. . . We'll be keeping you posted on the when and where!!

Due to overwhelming request, we're also working on getting new Merch together. Expect some Unique things to come. . .

We're ALSO working on writing new material; doing what Niobium does best and that being MUSIC!! Hopefully and most likely before the summer is out, look forward to some new vibrations being unleashed upon the Tribe.

MORE THINGS. . .

Thank you Thank you Thank you THANK YOU to everybody putting up with all our annoying little bulletins, but Niobium is now #55 in the entire country for the Bodog's Battle of the Bands, and #2 in our region. All because of everybody going and voting and telling friends to tell friends to tell friends to go and vote. Talk about using a network. . .
If you don't know about this Battle, the winners recieve a One Million Dollar Deal. That's a Good thing.

So, if there could possibly be anymore human
beings that have not voted. . .

Click Here! Click Here! Click Here! Click Here!

There it is; tell your friends, tell your friends to tell friends, and tell THOSE friends to tell their Uncle to go and vote and see if we can't help get Niobium into the NATIONAL Top 5!

In other OTHER news. . .

We are always and continually looking for any businesses/organizations that would like to purchase (extremely cheap!!) ad space on the back of the flyers created for each show. If anybody knows a business or organization that would like (extremely cheap!!) and extremely effective mass advertising, get in contact with one of the band members. What they'll be buying is (literally) thousands of ads strewn about 50 square Twin City miles. And that's a Good thing.

And in the most other-est news possible. . .

Actually, there is no other-est news.

So I would suppose for a closing statement. . .

Thank you again, everybody. You know who you are and how you're helping; and I know sometimes we might not say it outright; but WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING SO MUCH. We could NOT and would NOT be doing this without everybody's help. We mean it when we talk about the Tribe and when we say 'We See You''. . . You are us and we are you. Nothing is Separate and All is One. You are Here just as we are Here. Let's keep spreading the Love and Light to everybody.

Namaste Tribe.
