16/10/01 A backmasked message has been found in fade to blacks MP3 Used To Love Her . When the section " But I had to kill her " is reversed the words "Hare Krishna hello" are clearly heard . The band spoke to today and officially confirmed that it was not a mistake but had been put in as a bid to let people know that the Hare Krishna and hippy movement is the only way to find true enlightenment . Luckily this was recorded ( usually recording equipment from the press is forbidden as it effects Drag N Drop drummers Karma ) and will be posted on the website soon . In the meantime why not download the backmasked message for yourself from the downloads section .
Also in the news today , the very very observant ones will have noticed we have moved the site to tripod because our last server , fortune city was quite frankly pish and took the website off the net . Damn them to hell . 23/10/01
Rumours are emerging that a merger could take place between Fade To Black and other local band , Greef .

Our friends Hard Spank now have a website . They have currently 1 MP3 to download , a cover of Rage Against the machine's Bombtrack . We recently caught their gig at the Academy and guitarist Steve Duthie went down a storm with fans . Overall the gig was very well done , however it did incite a riot which took place after the 3 song set .
Hard Spank are rumoured to be hosting a battle of the bands early next year . If Fade To Black can expand their line up in time , the first Live appearance from the band may be on . Click here to go checkout Hard Spanks website - Everyone " STEVE-O , STEVE-O , STEVE-O " 2/12/01
A shocking Discovery was made today . While innocently browsing the net I stumbled upon an offensive website . At http://www.voodoosound.com the website of a New York band named none other than Fade To Black can be found . This may result in a name change for the band you know and love . Perhaps even back to the orignal name - Anal Exploders . Any suggestions or any offers to join the band email us at hamishmcdavis@hotmail.com .

Further rumours are emerging from the Fade To Black camp , towards who the identity of Fade To Blacks new frontman will be . After Dereck Carle retired from the limelight a short time ago , FTB have been looking for someone to fill his place . The new frontman could be Keith Johnston , an unknown recording artsist who loves the A Team , but as usual nothing has been confirmed . Watch this space.

To address the claims of the guitar being out of tune , it wasnt so piss off.
Other news , Blind Lemon recorded a grunge version of Red Hot Chili Peppers' Could Have Lied from Blood Sugar Sex Magik which should be downloadable soon . We think it kicks ass but no doubt someone will have a different opinion .
Go to the guestbook - Hard Spanks Steve - O has made an appearance. 01/02/02
Well done to Hardspank who put on a great gig today in the social area and got the capacity croud rocking . Even Miss Stuart from maths was up for a mosh . Steve O stole the show as expected , but Smitty and Paul shined through too . Joe 90 even traded his shiny new bass for a solo song on guitar , something by Green Day I think but I dont what its called .
Also today our two new songs have been posted for downloading . They are our cover of RHCPs Could Have Lied and also our new song Ode To Oldie which is about the one and only oldie . |
