Erika (3:16), Total time: 46.06

Nibiru’s history started as a merger of two lead men, one from "Pavlov’s Dogs" & the other from "Quarry." Quarry’s producer, Hilly Michaels (John Cougar’s original drummer, Ian Hunter collaborator, & the 1980-81 Warner Bros. artist with the chart hit "Calling all Girls."). Quarry was discovered by Arista records (1989) & ended up being cut from the label’s budget due to their investment focus in rap music. A 3-song demo produced professionally by Hilly Michaels was the outcome prior to being dropped from the label pursuing. "Pavlov’s Dogs" gained popular acclaim as well with heavy rotation on CT’s WMRQ 104.1 (then a modern rock station), as well as college radio. Rotation on WMRQ was gained without the major label marketing rep in place. It was self-promotion, along with the merits of the music itself. "Lift a leg" sold over 5,000 copies from the grassroots marketing movement initiated. "Pavlov’s Dogs" continued to make a significant mark in the 1990’s with landing a gig as a featured band at the first Earthday at Bushnall Park (1996), an event that features headline acts to this day. Other accomplishments include being picked as one of the top bands in Musician Magazine’s best unsigned band competition (1996), as well as Semifinalists in WMRQ’s Modern Rock Wars (1997). In 1998, they did a showcase performance at the Philadelphia Music Conference. As a result of that performance, Geffen Records sought them out for a demo tape in 1998. The contract was never negotiated to mutual acceptance. In 1998 & 1999 Warner Music Group requested a demo tape - unheard of for an unrepresented band - & Roger Gold, the head of A&R for Warner, advised the band that the music has hit potential, but the lack of an industry known Entertainment lawyer &/or management representation prevented any hope of pursuing the band with a giant such as Warner. The band was forced to change their name due to the fact that it was taken half way around the world. They picked Nibiru (pronounced "ni - beer - oo" - the name of the alleged mystery planet where aliens come from (beyond Pluto). "The name has a lot of folklore and stories built in and we love that" says the band. Now, their current CD is ready. It consists of a collection of songs that has raised the eye of more than one major label as mentioned above. It is a true work, versus a bunch of songs. Fan dedication has been great & this project is the result of that dedication. Now the product, marketing, & distribution is ready. We’re about to make some noise! http://www.clearchannelnewmusicnetwork.com/artist/nibiru

The Sound: Fan, Local press, & Industry comments:

A mix of catchy melodies with a bite.

Modern, yet timeless.

From the schoolyard to sophistication. Rock with a mature, yet youthful message. Pop may well be back.

3 dimensional pop is back - solid songwriting versus 2 dimensional 1 hit CD's.

The contest launch is a step that collaborates talents and distribution interests. The goal is to brand the CD with a unique story, consisting of a work of art in music, along with unknown art talent from around the world. The contest is open to artists, drawing, painting, photography, etc. Below is an overview of how it will work:

• No entrance fee whatsoever
• Submissions will be chosen based on their representation of the band’s image and music
• A promo of the CD is available for $6 postpaid (completely optional) to help you hear the project in it’s entirety. Sample songs can be heard at the band’s website (see info at end)
• A completed entry form must accompany every submission
• The submission will be returned at the end of the contest if a postpaid return mailer is sent
• Submit as many pieces of work as you’d like!
• There is currently no contest deadline - you can email us at nibirurock@aol.com if you are submitting past January 1, 2005.

We handle communication to the contest contestants the way we would want it handled - clear, consistent communication!

You will receive via email:

1. Verification of receipt of your submission
2. Emails letting you know of each step and where you stand

Since we've been approached on this already...

If you don't win, but love the concept of getting your work out there at no cost, no risk, & promoted by those with past success (with no effort or ongoing costs on your part!!), we may be able to offer you a space in an expanded CD booklet.

If we discover lots of astounding work, we certainly may want to build a larger booklet and place more work to fill the booklet. If we do, we will need a minimum contribution to co-op the printing. In exchange, however, we would give you your money back in CDs & promotion the same as the contest winner!

This would only be offered if:

o We love your work (you cannot just co-op to get your work included, we would offer it to you space permitting)

o The production cost makes sense, and only

o If we can offer you your contribution back in CDs at cost, along with promotion and credit.

Again, we believe in communication and we'll see how this goes. We are honestly trying to make this an overall piece of art that we can promote and achieve the distribution successes like we have in the past.
