A worldwide sensation that’s been visited by over 700,000 users and generates a quarter of a million dollars a year, Club Neverdie is also the #1 online asteroid hangout and the top venue for live entertainment in Entropia Universe. One visit to www.realityport.com will allow curiosity seekers to delve into a realm that attracts thousands every day to spectacular nightclub VIP rooms; disco hunting and mining biodomes; 1000 apartments for storage and entertaining your friends; a virtual shopping mall with the coolest clothes and gear for your avatar community; and live events every weekend.

At Club Neverdie, the party never stops—and neither does the music. Neverdie is the avatar of multi-talented singer/songwriter John Jacobs, who has created his debut album No Rock uN Rolled as a musical platform for the virtual community that crosses numerous exciting musical boundaries. Working with with producer Paul Inder (son of Lemmy from the iconic metal band Motorhead), Neverdie blends—over the course of 14 instantly compelling tracks--classic rock and blues influences with elements of techno, electronica, dance, trance and techno.

The trippy blues/rock/electronica track “New Vu Blues” perfectly captures the essence of the world of Neverdie, with lyrics that could be applied to a romantic relationship but are actually referring to the agony and excitement that happens among inhabitants in a virtual world like Club Neverdie when they are slammed by the makers of a game with a “version update.” No Rock uN Rolled also features special appearances by two very special real life women in Neverdie’s life—his late fiancée Tina Lieu, who added sultry vocals to the jangly organic folk-rocker “Devil’s Daughter,” and his wife Cheri London, who sings soulful lead with Neverdie on the dance-rock jam that asks “Can You Reach The Button?” and the groovin’ dance floor/electronica gem about the avatar’s immortality, “Neverdie.” A true pop/rock diva, Cheri London’s credits include tracks with Roisin Murphy, Missy Elliot and Timbaland.

Five years ago, Jacobs, who is also an independent actor/filmmaker, came up with the concept of doing a hybrid album that combined his love for classic 50’s rock with techno music. His first composition, the dense, beat-filled techno-rocker “Elvis Porno” was licensed by top European DJ Junior Jack. The Elvis-Euro connection continued for Jacobs when he used a Spankox remix of Elvis’ song “Baby Let’s Play House” in his indie film “Hey DJ,” which featured some of Europe’s top jocks. Jacobs’ Youtube video for the track earned The King his first ever digital #1 hit in Italy, as “Baby Let’s Play House” topped the country’s iTunes download chart.

Around the same time, Jacobs/Neverdie wrote the whimsical, sensual yet edgy rock/electronica track “Gamer Chick” when his girlfriend hijacked his video game. He sent it off to the developer of the online game (Entropia Universe) and the song quickly became part of the game’s soundtrack for players worldwide. Inspired by these incredible initial responses, Jacobs continued to develop the musical side of his avatar Neverdie. In addition to being available for purchase on iTunes, tracks from No Rock uN Rolled are offered as a prizes inside the virtual world of Entropia Universe to those who kill three monsters on his “asteroid.”

“What’s most important is that I have found a community that’s receptive to my music, but which also appeals to fans of a lot of different styles from outside the virtual world,” says Neverdie. “I was always attracted to the iconic rockers of the 50s like Elvis, Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran, and feel that I’ve managed to create the kind of persona they had in the ultimate video game setting. The music on No Rock uN Rolled fulfills a new rock and roll dream where kids can pick up a guitar, go inside the game and try to become famous. It’s exciting to have created the world’s first virtual rock star!”

MICHAEL KORB is a singer-songwriter from St. James, New York, a small, tightly-knit community close to Long Island’s North Shore. He grew up in a musical household, where he taught himself how to sing, record and play several different instruments.

The shy, awkward Korb began developing a following once he finally began playing in public on Long Island’s open mic folk circuit in 2006. Seeing Mike live almost gives one the impression that he’s channeling something otherworldly -- his lyrics are shards of dark poetry, often floating on a quivering falsetto, and the sounds coming from his guitar sometimes seem too impossibly layered to be played by only one person.

In 2008, during a life-crushing bout with insomnia, Mike worked through recurring themes in his past, writing and self-releasing his debut full-length, GHOSTS. Tracks like "Circles," "Slow Incline" and "Close Your Eyes" got some attention from college radio, and Mike played shows out of state for the first time.

On his 2010 Winged Disk release SLEEPWALKER, Korb deals with the phantasms of the present. Michael performs all tracks on the album, which was recorded at his home Sixth Street Studio in St. James, New York -- often in the wee hours of the morning. Songs like "Missing Persons Report" and "Off the Deep End" explore human connections and emotional consciousness -- SLEEPWALKER is a map of Mike's inner world. Although influences like Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and Elliot Smith can be felt, the ethereal vocals and lush guitar experimentation are distinctly Korb’s. Even the way Mike writes his songs is unique.

"First, I try to come up with the ugliest, most horrible chord I can," he chuckles. "Then, I try to write a really beautiful song around that ugly chord."

Now with a new band and a drive that keeps him moving constantly, MICHAEL KORB is gaining momentum; when he is not walking around St. James in his pajamas, he can be found performing anywhere from small coffee houses to large theatres, dive bars to wineries, and beyond.

Singer/songwriter MICHAEL KORB, known for his falsetto vocals and brooding, otherworldly guitar style, has just released his second full-length, SLEEPWALKER on Long Island, New York indie label WINGED DISK.

NerVer is a hard rock/modern rock band based in Orlando, FL
that's all about groove, attitude, and intensity. Blending a mix of
hard hitting drums, grooving bass lines, heavy riffing guitars, and
in your face vocals, NerVer sets itself apart by not trying to be the
next anybody, just who we are - warts and all. The first single "No
Cage" shows all these traits in a radio friendly package that has
already proven itself with wins over rock chart toppers Skillet and
Adelitas Way in the Band 2 Band Combat on Clear Channel's The
Edge in Little Rock, a number 1 and 2 top ten's on Ourstage.com,
and being added into regular rotation on Jango by volume of
positive responses in under a week. Now finishing their upcoming
record "twelve twenty one twenty twelve" through Old Groove
Productions, NerVer has begun establishing itself as a band to
watch... and listen to.

The band's story officially began in 2004 when founder Casey
Daniel had an abundance of material that didn't fit with his current
gig, as an original member of the rock band Seven Mary Three,
which he wanted to be heard. After doing some demos in his
studio, Casey met up with drummer Nate Yant in late 2004 who
instantly heard the potential in the music, jumped behind the kit,
and in late 2005 got NerVer a deal with S.K.Y. Records.
Unfortunately, S.K.Y. Records would close before the record
could be released, but that experience led to Casey turning his
studio into a full fledged production facility. In early 2009, now
armed with experience, gear, and knowledge, Casey and Nate
knew it was the time to get NerVer done right and out to the
public. NerVer has filled out the lineup with ripper Cody Mac on
guitar, and is eager to find out where the next step of this journey
will take us. The first single No Cage has gone out to rock stations
across the country, and is available as a 3 song single on iTunes.
Check our radio page for stations and request lines to call and
support NerVer. That's our story so far, the rest is where we go
together…
