NEP History

NEP got together in late 2002 to make a deafening, mad racket and
we have thus far achieved that goal. Our mission for the future?
World domination, more live shows and a CD release in 2007! Don't
touch that mouse!



Band Bios

PHIL HURD has a long running history as one of Austin, Texas'
premier guitarists. He has performed in most of Austin's top venues
for live music since 1985. He has released 3 CDs of his original
tunes, performed in Europe and received international airplay and
press for his efforts. One of Phil's original songs, "So Fed Up", is to
be featured in the upcoming cinematic release, "El Segundo"!
COLLEEN HURD has been involved in PHIL's career since his
beginnings in Austin in the mid '80s. CLARE "Bili" HUDSON is new to
the scene, but brings an uncanny musical ability and heart and soul to
the band. CLAY DANCY, a Houston-based powerhouse drummer,
first performed and recorded with Phil as a member of the
Deadbeats in the early 1990s and joined NEP in October 2004.
MIKE WEBB is a highly visible and active Austin drummer and began
playing with NEP in November 2005. He had previously performed and
recorded with PHIL in THE ELMORES and THE DEADBEATS in
Austin during the '80s and '90s. Brad Hurley the Current Drummer
for NEP was Phil's first drummer in " Bad Connection" when Phil
arrived in Austin from Virgina in the early 80's. Brad had found an
old tape of the Band and looked Phil up after over 20 years and has
been playing and recording with the Band since Early  2007. The last
time Brad played was with Phil, he says it was worth the wait !!!!
