Hi everyone! Let's get right to the big picture. We got our new CD! YIPPPPPIEEEE!!!!
It's 5 songs and the production is AWESOME. We go back to 5 more in March, so we will release it as a full length. Don't worry, those who feel cheated by buying the first 5 in its already for, we are only goint to see the full length for 5 bucks. So if you buy the first 5 now, you still only pay for the new 5 songs when the new CD comes out in the full length version. We didn't realize when we released this CD, that we were going to be recodring more, but we had an offer we couldn't refuse. I can't talk about it right now, but when the time comes you guys will be the first to know.

Now for some sad new... We are no longer affiliated with Anderson Entertainment. Bonnie Anderson has decided to leave the music industry to pursue other interests. We will miss her, and so will local music. We wish her the best in whatever she does.

This being said, are now shopping fo new managment. We have had some interest. We will be deciding soon on which of three companies wi are going to sign with. Because of legailities, I can't say who they are.

Now we played two AWESOME shows last week. One at the Coppermine, and the other are Zakks. Agony Creeps was awesome. You've got to check them out. Triple Aught was cool as ever. Zakks was the loudest and wildest I've ever seen it. It was packed, and the chicks dancing on the pool tables and flashing us were off the hook! Anyway, we are back into writing mode. I've got two titles and some lyrics for Second Skin, and the Devils Grip.

Well Fuseheads, I'll be seeing you soon!

Hi Fuse fans, 

just updating you from the studio.  Matt is singiing "Faded Silver Screen" now.  The drums are done and so is the bass.  All my rhythms are done.  Next are solos for me once matt is done, also acoustic guitar.  Drew has been magnificent, by far the best drum and guitar sounds ever.  Todd was unable to join us for the trip.  He'll be part of the mix and mastering.  I'm trying to rewrite the lyrics to "Sleeper" ,we just aren't happy with the original.  It's probably the song well use for our first single and we want it to be the best concept.  Well, I'll check in a little later...

It's me again!!!  Matt finished his vocals.  T-Bone is now doing backing vocals.  Our back up singer Paula Capps arrived,  did some tracks, and actually helped matt and I finish the lyrics to "Sleeper".  The songs are rocking and I think there is a lot of magic.  Drew is amazing, very laid back and sooooo helpful.  Well I'll check in later on.

Hey!!!!!  What a show at the Half Shell.  Lots of friends came to party with us; Dale, Jeremy, Stacy, Aaron, and Chris.  YOU GUYS ROCK!!  The new tunes went over really well.  Paula, our new back up singer and stage girl (we are looking for more) rocked on Godsmacks "Awake" and out tunes "Healing" and "Hollywood Madman".  The crowd was loud and kciked ass.  We may do one more warm up show before the studio in N.C. or in our hometown.  I picked up the new Ozzy CD.  I hated it at first because Zakk didn't write anything on it, but it's growing on me now.  We can't wait to record the CD.  I've been writing a song called "Laugh in the Face of Death".  If it's good enough we may record it.  Well guys, until next time.

Hi guys!!!!!!  It’s been a while, been laying low.  First, I want to recap our last year (Sept. to Sept.)  We released out first full length CD, got singles such as Ginger, Strawberry Rose, Rinse, Sunshine Girl, and Soulmachine played on XL102 and FM 99.  We toured constantly from Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Richmond, Murfreesboro, NC, New Jersey, Philly and Fredricksburg.  Kicked ass and took names.  Merchandise sales were unreal from shirts, lighters, 8x10’s, and stickers.  It was a pleasure to meet new fans and bands that were really cool to us.  To sum it up, we had a wonderful year and accomplished everything that we set out to do, which was to get our merchandise right, CD’s, and live show, which created a big buzz about us.  Now we are set to record out next CD with Drew Mazurek in Nov.  We are totally excited.  We took a month off to write songs.  We came up with 3 songs that we haven’t played live before and 2 live fav. Like Hollywood Madman and Child Superstar.  The new CD will be heavier than the last, but will also touch on a new side of us.  A song called healing that was written by Matt and I about the Oaklahoma City bombing will be on the CD.  It is also dedicated to the victims from September 11th.  I want to say much about this issue except that it pains us and our prayers go out to the victims and America.  We just got a grant from Jim Beam and are pursuing sponsorships.  This year, our goal is to go to the top.  A record deal.  That’s the total goal.  We want to win the heavyweight title.  So, be expecting lost of gigs, promotions, and air play.  Now on to me.  I’ve been chilling with family when not at rehearsals.  I’ve been listening  to lots of Motown, tons of it.  Even thought we are a rock band, I sometimes listen to Motown to inspire a groove, soul, or hook in my writing.  By the way, we need gospel or Motown type singer to sing back up on Hollywood Madman.  All interested email me at FuseFreak@aol.com.  Now I want to take the time to thank the Fuse Special Forces : Mish our Webmaster, Bear our Bodyguard do all, Jacky our Sound Roadie Dude, Bonnie our Manager, Leslie and Deb our Merchandise Chicks, Todd our producer, and You the Fans.  Let’s take the world by storm.  CD to be released January 1st, 2001
