Thanks to Myspace’s new profile designs, I’ve given the Nitidus page a much needed spruce up. Go check out www.myspace.com/nitidus

Nitidus are always ready to embrace the power of the internet.  It’s the best and easiest way to keep in touch with all of you guys.  Now we’ve found something new that makes it even easier!

Many of you are already familiar with this popular service, but for the uninitiated: FriendFeed is a site that brings everyone together no matter whether you’re on Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, iLike, Last.fm or any of the 43 supported social networks.  Just link them all into your FriendFeed account and join the conversation.  You really have to try it for yourself.

If you haven’t already, sign up for a free FriendFeed account, then come and join the Nitidus room for a mash-up of everything going on in the world wide web of Nitidus.

You should all have a little more Taste… so we’ve put the full-length version of The Taste onto our Myspace page. Now you can hear this hot track in all its glory, featuring an awesome harmonica solo by guest musician Stefan Kurzel. Head over and check it out!

If you haven’t checked our Flickr group lately, here are a few photos from the last Nitidus rock show. This was a sold out show at the Ferntree Gully Hotel supporting two Australian rock icons: Noiseworks and the Choirboys.

   

I’m sure I saw a few other cameras out there that night, so if you have pictures, we’d love you to share your shots on our Flickr group (every photographer should have a Flickr account these days!).

For those of you that came to the show, we hope you enjoyed the spectacle.  It was certainly an eventful evening filled with some great performances by all the bands along with a few disasters… but more on that another time (I’m still too tired and angry to go into that now… and yes I know it has been 4 days already!).

Check out these snaps from the Nitidus rock show last Saturday at Musicland.

    

Check out the Nitidus Flickr group for more photos, or to add your own!

Stay tuned to Channel 31‘s Asylum TV to catch two songs from the show.

Track number 2 off our recent studio venture is now online and available for all to hear. Tonight we bring our popular rock ballad “What’s It Gonna Be?” to you via Myspace for your listening pleasure. Inspired by a friend torn up over a lover, this song demonstrates another side of Nitidus. Get on over to Myspace and have a listen to this brand new track!

Photos are now up from last Saturday’s wild night at Twentyfirst Century Club in Frankston. Check ’em out.

Thanks to everyone who came out to see the last Nitidus rock show for 2007. We’ll be back with a vengeance in 2008!

Head over to Myspace to hear The Taste, the first of three brand new Nitidus studio recordings produced by Adrian Hannan (Taxi Ride, Lee Harding, The Androids). This is the first new release in over 2 years!

The Taste is like nothing you’ve heard from Nitidus before, highlighting the band’s exciting new direction since the 2005 EP “Still Here”. It’s laced with infectious hooks and a driving beat, straight from the gritty underground rock scene of Melbourne.

Crank your speakers to 11 and get onto Myspace to hear The Taste!

Tonight, Nitidus have released their first new song in over two years! Head over to Myspace and listen to 21 Alibis, the title song from our recent US tour. 21 Alibis is one of several demo tracks that were recorded in Marki’s mobile studio sporadically since January this year. Most of you who have been to see our rock shows this year will no doubt recognise the song. 21 Alibis highlights a new groove-rock style that the band has been creating in its current line-up. We feel it is the next evolution of the Nitidus sound and hope you enjoy this first taste.

It’s been almost two years since we shared all four full tracks from the Still Here EP on Myspace. Initially intended to be a limited-time offer, the tracks proved to be quite popular and had stayed ever since. Now that we’re back from the States and have some new demos completed, we figured it was about time to share some new sounds with you guys. Keep an eye out, there’s more of the good stuff on the way. Spread the word.

Rockers, this is the new home of Nitidus news online. We’re movin’ out of Myspace‘s blog system into something a little more robust: WordPress. Myspace is still our hot spot for fans and goodies, but to get the low down on updates, tour dates and more, be sure to feed nitidus.com.au into your news reader and stay tuned.
