This
is the beginning. The reason why. All of the rage and imagination
that one could muster times ten. We fought through all of the
6yrs that we were together but it was the best experience I ever
had. We all learned how to put things together to make "it"
work. Everything was archived. Every practice and almost all of
the shows are on tape. If the band couldn't be saved at least
the history was.(Thank you Dorian!) Nimbus started out with Tom
and myself just making noise with an acoustic guitar and a bunch
of pans, trashcans, a small bell, & a lightbulb. The band
grew in numbers and slowly stabalized after some time. NIMBUS
was a 6 piece at one time but two of the members fell in love
(Dorian & Jessica) and left the band for one reason or another.
Things finally came together after that and we found the sound
we were looking for. All of a sudden all these songs began to
just pour out. We soon had a huge repetoir of original material
that we were proud to call our own. Nimbus never quite fit in
because we weren't punk or heavy. So we had to prove ourselves
in the talent field. There was no settling for second best and
we tried to be more original and entrancing than the others in
the Corpus scene. NIMBUS went through about twenty name changes
and finally took the name from the title of a song I had written
the lyrics for. I don't know if we were ever totally happy with
that one but it stuck. I then changed the name of the song to
"GREY".
