The weekend kicked off in grand style at the Pearl Room on Friday night! We had
a blast playing for everyone, and the evening was a great time. Face Time
Police, False Faced, and Nerve Damage kicked off the evening and all did a
superb job rocking the house. Our legion was definitely in the house, including
a few long lost souls....yes TJ and Amy, that means you!! It was great to see
all the familiar faces in the crowd and meet some new ones after the set and
throughout the evening! We were pleased to present some new material, and the
pit going on showed us to bring out some more new stuff very soon, so count on
it! Mushroomhead put on a great show, and capped off a great night of music!
Thanks again to all who came out... stay tuned to your email list or here on the
Fashion File...we have some big news in the next couple days! More to come!

Sometimes you just have to laugh. I can say that in this business, you meet a
variety of individual characters, and once in a while, one just makes you shake
your head. A hired gun musician for an act we recently played with apparently
decided to shoot his mouth off about what a rockstar he is, and how Fashion Bomb
can f-off. He does this (of course) in a blog online, so he can hide behind
the internet. Despite his proximity to us all evening, he didn't once have
anything to say to our face. So many of our songs are about being a real
man/woman, and not a coward who can only vent online, I can only shake my head
and have my lyrical observations solidified. The true musicians we have
encountered have been amazing to work and play with....Marilyn Manson, American
Headcharge, Godhead, to name just a few. True artists have no need to create
drama to fill a void, they create art. So, while this hired gun busily plays
other people's art, hopefully he doesn't corrupt it along the way. We will have some more art for you on
June 27th with Mushroomhead! More to come!!Val

It was a daylight set last night, but thanks to everyone who braved a Tuesday
night to come out and rock with us and Hanzel und Gretyl at Logan Square
Auditorium!! We had a blast, returning to the stage after a six month writing
break, armed with some new tunes! From tunes like "The Meek", "The World Will
End With Us", "Technological Singularity", and "Wasted World", to old favorites
like "Low" and "SS", we were happy to share music with all of you again!! For
those that were unable to get out on Tuesday night, you can catch these new
tunes when we crank them out at our show with Mushroomhead on June 27th!!
Tickets are cheaper in advance, so get them now! So, until then.....thanks
again to everyone and there will be more to come!!

I ventured up north last night to catch Sevendust at
Austin's Saloon...It was a great show, and Sevendust
rocked as usual...I was a bit skeptical about the
venue, and parking was an issue, but was pleasantly
surprised about the sound for Sevendust. The sound
for the openers was not that wonderful, but they got
the kinks out in time for the big guns. I guess the
mandatory shuttle bus to travel about 100 feet was
intersting as well; I will chalk it up to an adventure
in safety! It was good to see some familiar faces at
the show, Shaun Glass from Dirge, Stephen Jensen from
F3 Studios, Jason Meudt from Lazeron doing his Dean
Guitars thing, and some familiar faces from Fashion
Bomb shows past! I am looking forward to catching
some more shows at Austin's, and going to some more
shows armed with fliers....so keep your eyes peeled,
we will be out in force in the coming weeks! More to come!

We are very excited to debut the new material we are
working on!! On June 17th and 27th we will be hitting
hard with our evolved sound, and how can you go wrong
when you couple our new songs with Hanzel und Gretyl
and Mushroomhead? Acid and I have been getting the
word out about these shows, most recently when we
attended the Dimmu Borgir/Behemoth show at House of
Blues. We saw many familiar faces and had a great
vantage point from the box...Trace has also been out
and about, most recently at Drowning Pool at Pearl
Room! Many of our loyal legion members have also been
circulating the fliers, spreading the word throughout
Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri....these shows
will be must see events!! And can I stress....NEW
MUSIC!! More to come!!

Greetings to one and all...we have been very busy
working on brand new music, and getting our house in
order for some big news, so if you haven\'t gotten our
new Interakt Portal on myspace or subscribed to our
free mailing list yet...get with it people, you\'ll
want to be among the first to know, trust me! I did
get a chance to take a break last night and made it
out to the Vic to catch Les Claypool. That was a
great show, and Les kicked some serious ass. It was
good to see everyone who stopped to say hello, and I\'m
looking forward to seeing more of you out and about at
a bunch of the great shows coming up at the end of the
month, and into April! Stay tuned, more to come!!

Anticipation is growing... the launch of Fashion Bomb

or two to see the new look of Fashion Bomb! We have
been working hard to get everything ready, and are
getting new songs finished as well! It is an exciting
time
Acid and I travelled down to Pearl Room to check out
Wednesday 13, and had a great time. It was great to
talk to everyone, and get out of the studio for a
little while! Acid, Trace and I will be heading to
Metro this Friday to support our friends in Dirge, so
be sure to stop by and say hello!
Also, you may notice our new "Interakt Portal" on
myspace. Feel free to get one on your profile...it\'s
easy! Just click the "grab it" button in the upper
corner of the portal and get streaming updates right

Hope to see everyone out at Metro Friday!

A new era in the evolution of Fashion Bomb is upon us!
The machinations and years of effort are paying off.
Within the next couple of weeks, you will see that
change is healthy, and a new and improved Fashion
Bomb will be hitting the airwaves and stage! We are
going to be sitting down with Digital Lizard
Productions to answer your questions for our Interakt
video! We have also introduced our new Interakt
Portal...go to our myspace page and add it to your
page for instant updates, news, new music and all
things Fashion Bomb sent to you right on your page!
The announcements will be coming fast and furious, so
be sure to sign up for our mailing list as well! It
was nice to see everyone out and about at the Manson
concert, and to answer so many of the questions that
night, we are going to be hitting the stage very soon,
and we have been in the studio getting fresh new music
ready for your ears...so get ready to assimilate the
new sound and make it part of your brain circuitry!
More to come!!

Just a brief note to say goodbye to a good friend in
the music community here is Chicago... Evie Carrano,
massage therapist for every major act in the U.S. as
they come through the area, and a music lover passed
away from leukemia after being diagnosed only last
week. I remember one of many evenings hanging out
with Evie after a show at Metro(this time also with
the guitarists from Meshuggah), and talking about how
they couldn\'t have gotten through the show without
Evie working on their hands before they played. When
someone as young as she was passes away, it
underlines the need for everyone to live as though
each day is important, and to use your time as though
it was a precious gift. We will miss you Evie!

Lots of great things happening at the moment, and the seeds planted over the past few weeks are beginning to bear fruit. You may have heard the line Era 2.0 being tossed around, and everyone will definitely know what that means shortly! We have been writing some killer new material (the debut of "Sick One" at our show with Dope was just the beginning!), and for our next show we will be showing off more new material! We will also be showing you some new images very soon that will explain everything, and make it all too clear that we are intent on bringing fresh new material and perspective to the masses. 2008 is definitely our year, and we want to take you all along for the ride!! Thanks for all of your messages of support, and get ready to rock once again!!
