ALLURE Update

admin — Wed, 23 Jul 2014 20:10:52 +0000

On Thursday, August 14, we will be performing at RAW:Austin presents ALLURE. This is one of the biggest events we have played to date so we’re celebrating by offering a couple of added opportunities.

1. Everyone who purchases tickets before August 14 will be sent a download code for our first album, WORD.
2. Each ticket purchased by 7 PM on Thursday, August 7, will enter the purchaser into a raffle for a physical CD/shirt bundle. The shirt will be the first of a rare batch of glow in the dark logo shirts.
3. If, by 7 PM on Thursday, August 7, at least 20 tickets have been sold through this link or purchasers have specified they are buying a ticket to support The Nimbus, the first 10 ticket purchasers will receive an extra ticket for a friend.

We’re looking forward to this great event of art, music, and fashion and hope to see you there.

RAW:Austin presents ALLURE

admin — Wed, 25 Jun 2014 03:11:07 +0000

The Nimbus is now an official RAW Austin artist. We will be performing at RAW:Austin presents ALLURE at the Belmont on Thursday, August 14. These events present a cross section of the local arts community and as such, the show will include fashion and art, as well as our friends, Dead Love Club. Tickets cost $15 and are available here. We will be sending out WORD digital download codes to everyone who purchases tickets to see us. In addition, if you can’t make it to the show but want to pay it forward and support us in our adventures, you can still purchase a ticket/download (or several) and we can release the ticket to a local friend who can’t afford to buy one. Either way, just be sure to specify that you are supporting The Nimbus in the first drop down menu when purchasing a ticket.

Oh… and while you’re over at the RAW site, don’t forget to check out our exclusive demo of “Fever”!

06/15/13 Feathers CD Release

admin — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 00:00:31 +0000

This coming Saturday, June 15, we will be be playing with Fielded and Feathers at Elysium! The show is a CD release party for Feathers’ new album If All Now Here.

It wouldn’t be surprising for either act to follow in the footsteps of Zola Jesus or CHVRCHES; skyrocketing in popularity and acclaim. In March, we played with both of them at Synth by Southwest 4. They were both great. Feathers played several more SXSW shows before opening for Depeche Mode (yes, we were a little jealous) and heading across the pond for a UK tour.

You can check out Fielded’s most recent album Ninety Thirty Thirty.

Doors open at 9 and we will be going on first so get there early and stay late. This is an electropop show you wont want to miss! The Facebook event page is here.

03/11/13 Synth By Southwest 4

admin — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:14:10 +0000

SXSW is almost here once again. Though we did not get an official showcase, we will be be performing at an unofficial show on March 11. This is the final night of the Interactive Festival and the night before the official Music Festival begins. This will be our second time playing a Synth By Southwest showcase, though the last time was with our previous band, subNatural. As the only band on the bill without an official showcase, this will be the only SXSW show we play and a great opportunity to also catch some really cool official showcasing bands without having to wait in long lines.

The show takes place at Elysium. We play at 8 PM. The cost is $5 (or free with a SXSW wristband or badge) and the bill also includes Fielded, Exit, Missions, and Feathers, as well as DJ Scorpio between bands.

The show is happening at the Red Eyed Fly in Austin, TX. There is an event page here. We play at 11:30, followed by Exit. Also on the bill is Rescue Mission, Echo Over Voices, and A Sky Jet Black.

We will also have merch which is currently only available at shows.
