Long Island, New York – December 16, 2010 – Long Island based 4-piece rock band known as NGHBRS will be touring in the Northeast including a date in NYC with The Sleeping.

Formed in the summer of 2009, NGHBRS (pronounced Neighbors), made it their mission to create the most unique musical project they possibly could. After months of writing and collaborating, Ian Kenny (vocals/keys), Jordan Schneider (drums), Tommy Fleischmann (guitar), and Eric Vivelo (bass), were confident in their newfound sound.
By April 2010, their first single, “Bodies,” was released, and within weeks, chosen for the soundtrack of “National Lacrosse League 2010,” the first ever Lacrosse video game for XBOX. The subsequent buzz, generated not only by the release of their first single, but also the band’s unparalleled live performance, helped expand their fan base across Long Island. To check out NGHBRS performing “Bodies” live at Irving Plaza in New York City, please go to: http://www.vimeo.com/14548175
In May 2010, the band entered the studio with renowned producer Bryan Russell (Envy On The Coast, Straylight Run, The Narrative) and Dan Gluszak (Envy on the Coast) to record their first EP, Hellomind. The EP is a tasteful mix of the band’s raw energy, catchy hooks, and melodic instrumentation. Influenced by bands such as The Foo Fighters, RX Bandits, and MuteMath, each member of NGHBRS brings a unique style to the table, creating a sound that can be appreciated by a vast audience.
With the release of Hellomind, the band has since shared the stage with bands like Envy on The Coast, The Sleeping, Matt and Kim, and Cassino. They have also been featured in the New York Times and have numerous blogs buzzing about their unique sound. To find out more on NGHBRS and where they’ll be playing next, please go to www.nghbrs.com
