With the signing of a new long term contract, the band has become the first major act to commit to the newly formed Big Cat Entertainment, LLC. Big Cat will not only handle all NHB promotion, but will be recording the band in their recently constructed, state of the art facility, Corbriwood Studios. Everyone associated with The Nied’s Hotel Band is looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship with the team at Big Cat Entertainment.

The Anti-Tax Organization is launching a nationwide campaign against over taxation. Their website (www.TaxMyBooze.com) will be online soon.
