Time.com Feature on N.E.D.

By Bonnie Rochman of Time.com, November 16, 2011. If there is an upside to having gynecological cancer, it may involve bragging that your doctor is a rock star — and meaning it.
That’s what one giddy patient does in the trailer for an upcoming documentary about N.E.D., a rock band made up of six gynecological oncologists. Short for No Evidence of Disease, N.E.D. began as a way to spice up a scientific meeting. The band subsequently snagged a record deal and worked with one of David Bowie’s former producers on an album, Six Degrees, that was released over the summer. The title is a witty reference to interconnectedness as well as the six medical degrees conferred on the band members.
“Patients feel like we are their band,” says John Boggess, an associate professor of gynecological oncology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who contributes vocals, guitar and harmonica. “They feel the same way we do, that no one is talking about their experience, no one is talking about their cancers.”
N.E.D. Heads to the Crescent City
For the first time ever, N.E.D. will be making an appearance in New Orleans in January, just two short months from now. As many of you know, NOLA is home for Dr. Rusty Robinson, the N.E.D. bass player. Dr. Robinson is on the faculty of the Tulane University School of Medicine and sees patients at the Tulane Cancer Center. The benefit gig will be at New Southport Hall in New Orleans, a staple of the city’s rich music scene, on Saturday January 14, 2012. Proceeds from the appearance will benefit Tulane Cancer Center’s Gynecologic Cancer Research Fund HPV Vaccine Program and the NED Fund at the Foundation for Women’s Cancer. We’ll share more details as they get firmed up, but for up to date information be sure to keep an eye on our website and the benefit website set up by Tulane. We’ll let you know when tickets become available for the benefit. Get your beads on and come on out! Laissez les bon temps rouler!
Great Review of Six Degrees
By Jason Kaplan, published 9/26/11. This summer, rock group N. E. D. (No Evidence of Disease) reached a major milestone on the road to legitimacy by releasing their first full-length studio album titled Six Degrees. The CD is so named to reflect the interconnectedness of all people by making reference to the proverbial “six degrees of separation” but is also a reference to the fact that all six band members have medical degrees.

It’s Official: Six Degrees is Go for Launch
Six Degrees, the new CD from N.E.D. is now officially available through our online partner, CD Baby for $14.97. You can order the CD simply by clicking on the button below or going to the Six Degrees page from the main menu above. CD Baby is graciously contributing $2 for each CD sold to Marjie’s Fund to support their continuing efforts to improve the lives of women facing ob/gyn cancers. You can purchase either a digital download or a physical CD that will ship within one business day of ordering. A HUGE thank you to all of our friends and supporters for making this possible.
Pre-orders for Six Degrees now being accepted
Here it is! You can now start ordering Six Degrees, the new album from N.E.D. through our online partner CD Baby. The list price for the cd is $14.97 and can be ordered simply by clicking the Buy CD button below. Once you select the quantity, you will be taken directly to the CD Baby store to complete your purchase. All pre-orders will be shipped on Tuesday 6/21, the day that the album officially goes on sale. Don’t be concerned that the cd is showing up as Backordered, that is simply a way for us to prevent the cd from shipping early.
Why the backorder status? It is a decision that we’ve made so that all of our presales will count as sales during the first week of the album’s release. If we sell enough (and this number changes from week to week), it is possible that we can make the new bestseller’s list from Billboard. Wouldn’t that be cool?
If you prefer, you can order directly from the N.E.D. CD Baby Store. For some iPhone and iPad users, this might be a better option. The widget we have on this page is flash-based and may not appear correctly for some users.
