Nick's Update



I wanted to update the page with something of my own since I have been away from the NOOBS for the past week and a half. The band, or Caleb and I rather, just finished tracking the rest of the songs for the Capa to the Sun EP! It was a very long, difficult and often times frustrating process. It was definitely way harder than I though it would be but the hard work really did pay off in the end because the songs sound amazing! Right now all the tracks are being mixed (should be finished in a few weeks) then they will be shipped off someplace to be mastered. Once mastered, the songs will be sent off to be pressed on to a thousand or so CD's which should arrive back to us just in time for the summer. The CD release show is still scheduled for May 15th at the Clubhouse Music Venue. Caleb and I are still going over different concepts for what the CD booklet will look like and we also have to decide on a name for the album, so there's still plenty of work to be done. For now, I am excited to go back to chillin' with the NOOBS. I can't stand missing FFC. And what's the deal with Cole shelling out the goods the ONE time I can't be there?!?! LAME!!! O well. To all the missionaries reading this, I miss you guys! Stay safe and keep it chill.

Seacrest Out.

Christmas Break Shenanigans... On Film

Welcome to the official NOOB blog

Greetings! And welcome to the brand new blog dedicated to the adventures of the New Omega Omega Beta. This will be the #1 place to find updates and news about us and we will update it as regularly as possible.

Brief History:

The New Omega Omega Betas began in the small town of Gilbert, Arizona in the quiet home of Wade and Vicki Sorensen. Their living room was a spot that the founding members of the Beta (Carter, Chris, Ryan, Nick, Jake, Cole) frequented to chill and play Super Smash Bros. It was decided one day that we would start a fraternity and make the living room into our very own, very small frat house. The betas, over the course of time adopted many weekly traditions such as the short lived Tuesday Night Bowling Nights, The Midnight Creature Features and the very popular Finer Foods Club. But more importantly, we just played a lot of video games. The NOOB vinyl was hung over the living room in early 2008 and it still stands to this day. Although many of the founding members of NOOB are currently serving their missions, an elite handful remain, keeping the traditions alive.

The Betas will reunite in the Summer of 2010...
