Review of Portland gig
March 16, 2012
Oregon Music News has posted a great review and pictures from the Aladdin gig in Portland on March 10. A quick excerpt:
“It’s been a real pleasure to see how these doctors have developed musically over the past year. Saturday’s concert proved that they have continued to evolve and coalesce as a vibrant musical act. One previous criticism of N.E.D. is that their eclectic songs lacked a defining sound. Steps towards honing a more distinctive style are definitely heard in their recent album “Six Degrees.” But up on stage Saturday the sound of their mission and essence truly crystalized. The voices of John Boggess and Joanie Hope were unmistakable and the cumulative presence of the whole band was stylistically and distinctively N.E.D.’s own.” See the full story by Jason Kaplan.

Time.com Feature on N.E.D.
November 18, 2011
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.”

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.

Great Review of Six Degrees
October 16, 2011
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.
