OLD NEWS ARCHIVE
THE
LOW LIFE
Hey, remember me? No, it's not Sarah Michelle Gellar trying to revive the
good old Buffy days, it's Ricky Martyr trying to write something after five/six
months of absence from this website.
I can't say I had a good time cause I would sound dead wrong, but don't worry,
I'm not gonna talk about it as it's a little bit too personal.
SSSSoooo, let's talk about a band which celebrated its sixth birthday not
so long ago: you used to know it (come ooon, I know we have done a whole lot
of nothing during the last two years, but I'm sure our fan and a half still
remember us...Ok, let me introduce myself: my name is Rick) as (I'm taking
a big breath) The Fair Bitch Projekt, but now, despite every page on the site
stating the contrary (errr, our webdrummer will fix it soon), we have a new
name and the new name is TFBP, which doesn't necessarily means The Fair Bitch
Projekt, in fact it could also mean Turin Fu**ing Bad Projekt, Too Fu**ed
(to) Be Pleasant, Thy Flame Burns Prrr (this one was good) and so on. Why
all these **? Because we have decided to make this website suitable for children
and to do so we have hired a brand new guy called Robocode: part man, part
machine, all censor...Ok, that's enough...Ah yes, Thy Fart Brings Pellagra.
Anyway, even though we live the low life, we can't get high and sometimes
I think I should die (thanks Frontline Assembly) we have big...medium...small
news for you: fffinally, TFBP, has come back to give the world a new mini-album!!!
Yes, that thing formerly known as The Supreme Art of Losing has been completed
and it will forever be known as DEAD TO DEATH. Right now we're missing the
new logo for the band and the cover for the thing, but I'm sure they will
appear on tfbp.net as soon as I'm done with this news, courtesy of Mr Liar
Gallagher.
How do we sound after six years of not-so-enjoyable existence? Well, I usually
don't spend kind words for our own works, but I must admit this is quite a
milestone in our (don't laugh) music career. First of all I wanna thank our
producer Zio Belin for turning our usual chaos (including our well known "cheesegrating"
guitars) into music. Zio will be interviewed next time to describe how painful
it was to get the job done. Then I don't want to resume an old stereotype,
but this is certainly our best work so far: composition makes sense, lyrics
make sense and we managed to include every damn effect we wanted. What about
the sound? I think TFBP finally reached its maturity, but you will decide
as soon as we put something on our mp3 page or (hopefully) elsewhere. However,
I'm proud of DTD, because we had to overcome many obstacles and technical
difficulties to get it done and it's no mistery that, for an incredible series
of unfortunate events, we have lost many of our promotional channels during
the last two years (if you want to know more about TFBP's bad luck, I invite
you to read our updated biography). DTD is our way to let everybody know that
we're not dead yet and we're ready to start again.
That's why we really need some support now, so, if you run a music-related
activity (magazine, webzine, anyzine, website...) and you're curious about
TFBP PLEASE WRITE TO US!!! If you know some source which could be helpful
PLEASE WRITE TO US!!! In any case we'll do whatever it takes to promote our
new material and survive. And then we'll WRITE TO US!!! If you want Krist
the Klown to change his name into Brian Monko WRITE TO US!!! If you want to
say that TNA sucks... we already know it.
Ok, updates will come profusely very soon, so stay tuned. Before I close here's
DEAD TO DEATH final tracklist:
1) Pure Crap (intro)
2) GBD
3) Erotique
4) I Was Made For Luvin' U (cover version from Kiss, but it will not be put
on cd right now)
5) Ricky Must Die
6) YMAD (Raw baby Raw)
7) Ginger Snaps Once (fully extended*)
(*Edit version also available).
That's all for now,
Ricky "UL-TI-MATE" Martyr.
STILL
IN, ALMOST OUT
Well hello,
Zio Belin, TFBP's favourite producer is on board again to bring you the most
delayed news of all times.
First of all, despite Liar and Ricky being extremely busy and mr. Krist The
Klown being temporarily (?) unavailable (Krist, if you're alive please give
us a sign. If anyone knows anything about the guy, give us a sign, too.),
the band is still alive.
Secondly, I really need to apologize for the fact that The Supreme Art Of
Losing still needs some time to be completed. You know, after spending all
these months with the band I have taken my job pretty seriously and I want
TSOAL to be the best TFBP work so far. I'm actually testing two or three different
mixes for the songs while adding samples and providing some minor production
fixes at the same time: if everything goes the right way the whole thing should
be completed within Summer 2006, so stay tuned or do whatever you want.
For those who still don't know it, Berlusconi is not Italy's president anymore,
though the media are desperately trying to hide the new political scenario
(that's because the friggin' hairless midget still owns tv and his damn newspapers
and magazines). The only problem is that we just don't know how long the new
Government is gonna last: let's hope it's gonna be a bit more than two years,
so that the REAL annoying thing (with all my respect to frogs) will not be
able to be elected again (you're getting old, pal!).
Well, I know there is a lack of usual TFBP humour in my news, but, as I told
you, it's pretty tough for everyone here right now.
Next news will probably come out in a couple of months, when TSOAL is finished
and Ricky M. wants to be back on the news page. Until then, I wish you all
a decent Summer vacation.
CONGRATULATIONS TO RICKY'S SISTER WHO'S GETTING MARRIED VERY VERY SOON !!!
Zio Belin, the Supreme Loser Producer.
IF
TAKER'S NOT EVERLASTING, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE
The title upstairs was actually chosen by Ricky Martyr, who recently came
to know that Wrestlemania 22 could be the last one for the Undertaker and,
as you can imagine, he feels totally devastated at the moment. This also means
I'm gonna write some crap on TFBP.net once again! Who am I? Zio Belin, TFBP's
producer!
First of all I wanna talk about president (or prime minister, commander in
chief or whatever you want, including bad words) Berlusconi: for those who
don't know (don't worry, even here in Italy a lot of people don't care about
it), our disappointing country is gonna have its election day in April, and
mr Berlusconi is on EVERY single tv channel (not just the ones he owns),EVERY
single tv show 24/7, always telling stupid jokes, insulting this and that
and pissing everybody off! Please stop before I go insane!
Fortunately for me, now that every possible celebration is over (including
Chinese New Year's Day), I'm back at work: even The Supreme Art of Losing
is better than TV! Speaking of tSAoL, I'm happy to announce that I'm done
with keyboards, guitars and bass (my personal TLC) and now I have to make
drums sound like drums and voice sound like,...ah, well, like something. The
intro will also come out shortly so don't worry (or do as you please), this
thing will end sooner or later.
As for my agent, she's having a good time with her new Little Apple friends.
Now the moment you've all been waiting for: remember when they said: "Remember
when we said Liar Gallagher's interview was gonna be on the news?"? Well,
we have it right now, so let's not waste any more time and here we go!
Ricky's note: Hey, I said I was devastated! Oh well... The following interview
took place inside a pub and if you read things about beer and pasta don't
say we didn't warn you.
INTERVIEWZ WITH THE GUYZ: LIAR GALLAGHER, TFBP'S (NOT
VERY) OWN WEBDRUMMER
Ricky: Time to introduce yourself.
Liar: I am L. Gallagher, I'm TFBP's webmaster and part-time
drummer (that's why we call him webdrummer -R). Sometimes (not these very
days -R) I also play with the guys at the studio (he's sarcastic because we're
not playing on these very days. Sorry for the notes, L., but the guys out
there need to know that we are a real band despite the hard days...and the
fact that Krist has recently lost his best keyboard -R).
Ricky: Tell us why you decided to be a drummer.
Liar: I've always liked the musical idea of rhythm, the fact
that it provides a solid and precise structure to the sound: I love to represent
this idea within TFBP and my side-projects.
Ricky: Speaking of side-projects, what happened to Kill Your
Boyfriend (Liar's long time grindcore band)?
Liar: My (ex) comrades decided to kill it because they were
tired of it, but the website for the band still exists (check out our Links
section) and maybe a final release featuring both old and new material will
be out soon. Nowadays I have TFBP and a new project called MALE vs. Running
Jesus (the name was inspired by a Flash videogame in which you have to control
Jesus while he's competing for some kind of marathon with a cross on his back),
website coming soon.
NOTE: The videogame above was NOT created by TFBP, it's NOT distributed or
reproduced on this website (and you WON'T find a link to it) and it doesn't
necessarily reflect our opinions on Catholicism or Jesus Christ (and Vatican
Church is pretty powerful here in Italy).
Ricky: As long as you are TFBP's very first member, does
the end result match with what you originally had in mind?
Liar: More or less yes. I wanted to play music which could
be less violent than things like Kill Your Boyfriend and I've always enjoyed
rock tunes with a sinister twist. I think we should play live a little bit
more, the rest is okay.
Krist: Do you think the waiter forgot about my pasta?
Liar: Definitely yes.
Ricky: Let's talk about tSAoL.
Liar: I think the songs are much better than before, songwriting
has improved a lot and, even if the work is still in progress, the whole product
is better than ever (thanks -Zio).
Ricky: Typical Japanese question: talk about your hobbies.
Liar: I like destroying hard disks on my computer, studying
ancient history, mountain biking (Krist didn't know it and he seems to be
surprised by it) and messing with computer programs.
Ricky: the music scene according to Liar Gallagher.
Liar: I'm not much into major products but I think all the
newest major acts suck. Most of the things airing on radios these days don't
deserve to be called music and the end result is that people commonly prefer
listening to those acts they already know rather than trying something new.
I really don't like most hip-hop and R&B stuff. As for the alternative
scene we have the opposite situation: always the same things and lack of ideas.
Ricky: The world according to Liar Gallagher.
Liar: It's on a freefall and the same is here in Italy: I
really question our prime minister and his entourage. There's something wrong
on every corner and we're enslaved by Corporations worldwide. I don't wanna
say anything more because these are very sad matters.
(Krist got sad after the previous answer but then the waiter comes with his
pasta)
Ricky: Ask yourself a question and answer it.
Liar: Do you think Krist's pasta looks tasty? Yes.
Krist: Do you want some?
Liar: No, thanks.
Ricky: Ehm, anything to say before we finish?
Liar: I wanna say hi to the fans: see you on stage! One more
thing: one day I want to become a truck driver.
All right, as usual those things above were Liar's opinions and blah, blah,
blah.
Zio will be here again next time and until we're done with tSAoL.
Byez,
The Devastated Guy.
WHEN THE TRAIN COMES TO YOUR DOOOR, WHEN I COME MARCHING HOME FROM WAAAR, WHEN THE TRAIN COMES TO YOUR DOOOR, WILL YOU STILL WANT, WILL YOU STILL WANT MEEEE?
Well, if you're Italian you may think this is a horrible and gruesome joke
considering what's going on these days, but that's the price you've got to
pay when flirting with sarcasm. However, this is a complicated story where
everyone seems to have different opinions, so I'm not taking on the subject.
See? I'm a very mature and responsible guy and if I really have to say something...well,
blame the government!(it always works..;). For those who are interested, title
words have been taken from an old Life, Sex & Death tune. Lyrics printed
without permission, but I'm quite sure the label guys don't even remember
they had LSD on their catalogue.
Anyway, one thing I really need to point out is that you're not actually reading
Ricky Martyr's crap, but theeeese are the wooords of Zio Belin, producer of
The Supreme Art of Losing and the guy who hired a fluffy little kitty doll
as his agent (don't say anything, she's quite unstable).
From now on and as long as we're done with the new TFBP thing, you'll be entertained
by my own really brilliant thoughts. Yeeeeeeee!
Remember when the Rick promised you an interview with TFBP's webdrummer Liar
Gallagher (it happened eleven or twelve times)? Well, we still don't have
it!! These days the Liar is a busy man and he's been unable to spend some
time with the rest of the band, but soon the other guys will catch him, cut
his legs and put him on a chair in order to bring the damn interview to his
many fans. Check it out, yo.
Anything else? Yes, as the producer of a very crappy collection of very crappy
music, I'm not so proud to tell you that recently most of the vocals have
been recorded, they kinda suck and I'll have to do some editing as usual.
Now I just need some more moaning, a few samples and the DAMN intro tune,
then I'll be ready to get into the final production/mixing phase: the nightmare
will be hopefully over in the first quarter of 2006. Fortunately a helping
hand has recently come to the rescue: I'm talking about tHe_ToOL, TFBP's fourth
misterious member who will be my assistant from now on. He NEVER opens his
mouth, but he can do the job.
A few years ago this "blind execut(i)o(ne)r" (that's how the band
calls him) decided to build up an electro/techno/whatever project together
with his old buddy DoktoRM. The band was called Elektrokute and, well, they
split up without recording a single note cause they were unable to find a
female singer (NERDS!). Now he's trying to work on a new electro/etc.. project
called Dixiehead together with a strange guy with a strange name, Thomas Nick
Andrew Suxxx, but (guess what?) they still need a female singer (NERDS!).
TNA Suxxx (oh, what a coincidence!) really wanted me to post the following:
If you're a "she", you can sing, you own a good synthetizer, you're
quite pretty (yyyyeeeeaaaahhhh, what else? Lots of money? Big house? Nymphomaniac?)
and (for reasons beyond my imagination) you wanna join a bunch of losers,
send an email to TFBP or Ricky Martyr (those nerds don't even have a mail
account). Include a picture of you and your synth. For obvious reasons the
guys prefer Italian chicks (capito donne? Datece dentro!).
Okey, it's holiday time and I'm taking a little vacation, but I'll (shit!)
soon be back to work.
In the meantime Liar, Krist, Ricky and ME wish you all a decent X-MAS, an
average NEW YEAR and a happy EVERYTHINGELSEBEFORETHENEXTNEWS.
Zio "don't_have_a_middle_name_yet" Belin
P.S. Even if we're damn late, RIP Eddie Guerrero, you will be missed forever...
WHAT THE HECK? WE'RE BACK! (October 2005)
Woooow,
My god this is amazing, maybe disturbingly amazing, but surely amazing.Last
time I wrote my (not very) usual pile of garbage the world was not in very
good shape, but look at what happened in recent months: hurricanes, earthquakes,
terror and bad politics. Apocalypse! In this new age of chaos the Incredible
Italian Government Machine (IIGM, copyright Ricky M. 2005) obviously felt
the need to give its personal contribution and the end result is...hmm...let's
say "impressive": a new voting system which is old, stupid and unfair,
the most useless financial law ever, the decision to split a small boot-like
country into 34567890 single entities, complete control of the media (e.g.
no freedom of speech). Enough? Fuck no, the fathers of invention are thinking
about dropping the European currency to create a "customised" version
of it or maybe to bring back the good old Lira Italiana (our currency before
the European Union). Really really smart move, no need to say why. By the
way, who cares if we're terribly poor and various criminals spend one night
in jail to get back to work the next day? Who knows, maybe one day there will
be no Italy to talk about (the Vatican State will buy us for 25 cents..sorry..
250000000 Lire) and someone will release a sci-fi, cyberpunk videogame about
us (the Hero against the Goverrrnment). A nice guy used to say: "Master,
we're in a tight spot!" and that's the bottom line.
Well, this website is about a band after all, so let's get to TFBP. Of course
we're working on the new release: except for intro, vocals and a few samples
we've got all the music and my voice will be back in action as soon as our
producer delivers us a rough mix (it shouldn't take too long). Speaking of
guys who produce things I have a little surprise nobody cares about: although
he didn't want to reveal his real name (he wants to be called "Zio Belin",
not "BeRlin"), our producer recently accepted to be briefly interviewed
by the Ricky guy, so here we go:
INTERVIEWS WITH THE GUYS: ZIO BELIN, THE SUPREME LOSING
PRODUCER
Ricky: First of all let's get to know something about the
Zio persona.
Zio: I'm an idiot.
Ricky: Nice start. Why do you say that?
Zio: What else can be said about a guy who's hired by the
most anonymous, unknown, unimportant band of all times to produce their new
release without earning a single cent, not even a free Coca-Cola?
Ricky: That's a good point, but I guess you were not compelled
to accept the job.
Zio: I was fooled! I'm a multi-talented human being, there's
nothing I can't do, I'm some sort of human god ("humble" is his
middle name -Ricky), but it seems everybody wants to fool me! I won't tell
you about the past because it could be too painful for the readers, but let's
get to the TFBP affair: one day my personal agent, who unfortunately can't
read too well (of course she can't, she's a "Hello Kitty" puppet!
-Ricky), came to me with a big smile on her face (ehr, I'm sorry to interrupt
the guy once again, but the puppet has no mouth -Ricky) and then she said
I had been hired to produce the new Ricky MartiN album. At first it sounded
strange to me, mostly because she had no contract for me to sign and nobody
to meet, but she said it was a different procedure due to the fact that she
couldn't move her hands. I decided to trust her and after all it was a great
deal, but then I discovered the truth...
Ricky: Is she still your agent nowadays?
Zio: Yes, because she doesn't need to eat or drink and so
I don't have to pay her!
Ricky: Anyway...What can you say about the status of the
Supreme Art of Losing?
Zio: Man! So far it's been a truly terrible job! You guys
can't play, not even the doorbell! The editing phase has been a true nightmare,
the tracks were full of errors and sometimes I still find new crap to fix
nowadays! The original sounds were also crap and right now I'm finding a way
to improve the guitars so that Liar will find them at least acceptableeeee
(I used multiple "e"s because he pronounced the word in typical
Ultimate Warrior style -Ricky).
*******************************************
The following question and the following answer have been censored by a higher
power. I'm always against censorship, but Zio said things which could easily
lead the band into an internal crisis. However, once again mocking the Ultimate
Warrior, the guy basically said TFBP's songs are pillars of shit and then
he pointed out that both me and Krist suck, we should retire and we should
go straight to heellll. His words really hurt me and I cried all night holding
my teddycow. Ah, on that very same night I also puked.
Now we can go on with the rest of this interview...
*******************************************
Ricky (with an axe in his hand): Ehm, when will I have the
rough mix to go recording the vocals?
Zio: Soon enough, kid, don't worry.
Ricky: Anything else you'd like to say before I kill you,
ehr, before closing?
Zio: Yes, it's about those guys who write on independent
wrestling websites (the damn pro wrestling insiders -Ricky). Are you totally
out of your mind or what? You can't keep saying it's ultra nice and it earns
big ratings just because it's not the WWE and every non-WWE shit is cool:
TNA SUCKS! SUCKS! S*U*C*K*S! Understood? Be sincere and stop accepting money
from them like the whores you are!
Ricky: Time to say bye bye.
Zio: Ok, but before closing I would like to say your new
release will sound much better than all your previous "works" because,
as a nice lady with big tits used to say ten years ago (he's talking about
an old videogame -Ricky), "I'm a good producer"!
END
I almost forgot, in September it was TFBP's 5th birthdaaayyyy!!! (damn producer!).
Happy birthday to youuu, happy birthday to youuuu, happy birtday to LiarKristandthatotherguyyy,
happy birthday to youuu. On with the Coca-Cola and we'll be back (next time
we'll DO have Liar's interview!)
Ricky "they'll sue us one of these days" Martyr.
NOT THE THINGS WE PROMISED, BUT IN THE MEANTIME....
Weeelll,
Hello everyone, this is a pretty short message from a completely uninspired
Ricky M. : have mercy, my brain's been working hard in the last few days and
I woke up with a terrible headache this morning (it's not because of alcohol,
I don't drink). First of all, for those who were willing to read our exclusive
Liar Gallagher interview I'm sorry to announce that it couldn't be done these
days cause we had to many things to do: better luck next news.
As reported on our guestbook (before I forget it I would like to thank and
say hello to Satu from Poland who wrote a nice'n'sweet message, your Italian
is certainly better than mine), our good old collective email address (fairbitch@...)
does no longer work due to webhost's demise so, from now on, if you want to
write to us feel free to use our new address (please
write to us, mostly if you're ladies, I really need ladies...).
As for our upcoming new release, we'll do most of the recording process in
August and then we'll try to find some better-than-before ways to promote
the whole thing (would you be interested in buying music from us ? I'm currently
thinking about self distribution). However, The Supreme Art of Losing will
be a good way to celebrate our fifth anniversary in September. In the meantime,
don't forget to download our available songs if you
haven't got them all.
One last thought goes to all the innocent human beings involved in recent
terrorist attacks which took place in London and Egypt: someone should really
start feeling responsible for it, and I'm not just talking about terrorists.
Once again, we detest terrorism, but terrorism should be prevented, not fueled
with hypocrisy.
Peace,
Ricky Martyr.
TFBPEE BRINGS YOU THE LATEST NEWS!
Ni-hao
everyone,
It's still Ricky M. from his tiny little bedroom with the latest news concerning
TFBP's pathetic existence...
First of all let's talk about our not-so-new mp3 webpage: I'm sure our 1/2
fan already knows it, but I'm proud to tell the rest of the world (well, maybe
I should say the whole world without a half of a person) that "True Short"
's 3rd complete track "Proud & Lonely" has been successfully
added and you can download
it for the price of zero cents. You can also find "Sexxxually Evil",
"Child of a Lesser God" and an old, rough version of "Burning
the Way" which was recorded when we were young and stupid, but still
full of hopes (insert here the most ridiculous music you have). Ah, if you
really want everything, don't miss, right here on tfbp.net, the shorts from
"True Fake", the album no one wanted to distribute (bastards!).
The 1/2 fan above certainly remembers that I was really concerned about Type
O Negative frontman Peter Steele's health condition: well, I entered Type
O's website a few days ago and I saw the grave. What can I say about it? I
had the same idea seven or eight months ago, but then I didn't want to shock
hundreds, thousands, millions of people, so I changed my mind. Ha, ha, ha,
we have no fans... Anyway, farewell to the guy who wanted to die as Ricky
Martyr and to resurrect as Theodore Nigel Alexander Sucks.
After this never before seen waste of time and space, let's talk about "The
Supreme Art of Losing", TFBP's new release coming up (hopefully) in 2005.
Speaking of death and resurrection, our own studio completely died right after
the "True Fake" release, but now it's back stronger than ever and
we have finally started working on the new thing. Right now we have a pre-pre-pre
demo version featuring ultra rough guitars (not the real ones yet) and metronome
clicks, but then drums will come, then real guitars, bass, keys, voice, progs
and this current abortion will become the best collection of songs EVER (dammit!)!
For those who are too lazy to check out the old news archive here's the tracklist
once again. 3, 2, 1, music!
1)
The Saw Is The Bytch (the Turin sampler massacre) (Intro)
2) G.B.D (forced edit cause it came out shorter than I thought)
3) Erotique
4) Ricky Must Die (x-plicit, x-ceeded, x-rated)
Track 4 also available (sooner or later) in its "usually polite"
version.
5) Y.M.A.D (Raw baby Raw)
6) I Was Made 4 Luvin' U (yes, this is a cover from the Kiss)
7) Ginger Snaps Once (songwriter's cut cause we don't have the rights)
That's
it and I realize it's been the crappiest news ever, so next time there will
be something new, the "INTERVIEWZ WITH THE GUYZ" column and our
first guest will be none other than our beloved webdrummer Liar Gallagher
!!!
Ok, screw the system, take care, don't be afraid and kick the hell out of
the annoying pro wrestling insiders' butts, mainly those who say TNA (Totally
Noxious Asses) will destroy WWE one day when I think it's just a big waste
of money and the parody of a promotion. The Monday night crap is over and
once again I'm proud to show you that I have the mind of a 5 years old kid.
So
long, serious things coming soon, I have to rearrange myself a bit right now,
Ricky "Underweartaker" Martyr.
WE'VE
GOT THE LATEEEESSST NEWS !
Well, for those who are familiar with our webpage at music.download.com,
here's the big news: the guys there have finally and successfully added the
band's picture ! It's nothing special and you have certainly seen it many
times here on TFBP.net, but it's supposed to be "more professional"
than a big grey square with "No picture available" written on it.
That picture sucks anyway... Now, after the picture, we're able to edit the
damn page again and it means we'll add a new song very very soon. The song
is " Proud & Lonely 2004 complete ass kicking, take no names, beat
the hell out of whoever's in front of ya, I don't like Shane Douglas anyway
VERSION ". If you download it together with Child of a Lesser God, Sexxxually
Evil and the samples you will own the whole "True Short demo cd 200(..ehm
!)3" release.
As for the upcoming "The Supreme Art of Losing" release, we now
know it will include 6 tracks plus intro and, for the very first time in front
of our one and a half fans, we're able to reveal the complete tracklist. Here
it is:
1) The Saw Is The Bytch (the Turin sampler massacre) (Intro)
2) G.B.D (forced edit cause it came out shorter than I thought)
3) Erotique
4) Ricky Must Die (x-plicit, x-ceeded, x-rated)
Track 4 also available (sooner or later) in its "usually polite"
version.
5) Y.M.A.D (Raw baby Raw)
6) I Was Made 4 Luvin' U (yes, this is a cover from the Kiss)
7) Ginger Snaps Once (songwriter's cut cause we don't have the rights)
I love track 7... Well, this is it ! Two months of rehearsals and studios
will open once again between the end of May and the beginning of June. This
release (or maxi, or mini album, or demo cd (I hate the word "demo(n)")
200X) will be performed by the official TFBP studio line-up (Ricky, Liar &
Krist) and, as usual, it will be an auto-production. We'll do everything we
can to give birth to our most stunning release ever, and we're sure it will
be useless...
Anyway, a lot of things happened in recent weeks, but I will not talk about
them because I respect different cultures and religious beliefs, so let's
just say: "Rest in peace you guys !"... And rest in peace dear Italian
Mr. President, Prime Minister, Premier, Governor, The Hell You Want cause
you're doooomed !
Anything else ? Yes, it recently was Ricky's, Krist's, Ricky's sister's, Liar's
brother's and a couple of other guys' birthday ! Thumbs up and dumb face...
It should be all for now, if there's something I forgot I will have a good
excuse to write again soon.
Take care and listen to the new :Wumpscut: ! It kicks ass despite the hell
some German and Swedish jerks think !
More to come and check our mp3 page soon,
Ricky "I was too happy this time" Martyr.
WE'RE IN THE NEWS AGAIN: THUMBS UP !
Yes,
at least we're back. Before I start talking nonsense as usual let me say it
once: "Keep cool my babies !". Thanks Conan and here we go...
I really wanted to write something new two or three weeks ago, but I couldn't
because:
1) there was actually nothing new to say;
2) I'm pretty sure you read it many many times here on TFBP.NET, but you know
we don't love it if it's not complicated, so yes, once again we had a tough
time.
Krist and Liar had a lot of job-related things to do at the beginning of the
new year and don't forget they also have University problems (I'm also sure
that at least Krist was able to build up a couple of extra problems for himself),
but this time I'm the one who simply can't be defeated: job problems, school
problems aaaand the most psychotic "love" relationship of all times!
It started right after New Year's Day, it was supposed to be the most passionate
thing in my life, it lasted 8 days, two meetings and she was a real genuine
psycho!
Anyway, this relationship turned into a relationshit helped me learning a
lot of things about myself: I'll never trust a psycho anymore and from now
on I'll concentrate on finding a young lady with big tits and a big ego.
As for my mental problems, I'm working on it...
Okaaayy, time for Tfbp now. Because of the stupid stuff mentioned above the
band spent a few weeks doing absolutely nothing, but a new song is on its
way, it is called "Erotique" and, as soon as our songwriter A.A.F
delivers it to us (is he a member of the band ? Why does he write songs for
us if his name doesn't appear anywhere ?), we'll start playing it and then
recording it for our next work, the infamous mini-album definitely entitled
"The supreme art of losing".
Still no news about the re-design thing (maybe we'll do something when it's
time to promote the new stuff), but a lot of things to say about our brand
new mp3 website: it will be located at music.download.com, which is the independent
and dissident son of the resurrected mp3.com website (now featuring major
artists only) and in the beginning it will feature three songs: Child of a
Lesser God, Sexxxually Evil (audio quality improved for both songs) and a
rough, 2002 version of Burning the Way. After some unspecified time we'll
add "Proud & Lonely" in its complete and newest form: this is
a gift for our loyal 25 fans and for that very kind lady named Amanda who
recently wrote to us. One more thing (the most important one, probably): this
new website will almost definitely be ready as soon as you read this news,
check out our links!
I'm pretty tired now and I have a lot to do, but before closing let me say
something more to the typeonegative.com guys: obviously you didn't read my
past news, but please, less about Johnny and more about Peter!
That's all folks, more to come in the near future.
Be good, take care, peace.

CHRISTMAS,
NEW YEAR'S DAY AND EVERYTHING ELSE NEWS
Hell-ho, ho, ho my friends !
As usual it's been a while since our laaast update and judging from the number
displayed on the counter it's been quite a successful one: 24-25 visitors
in 2 months. Marvelous ! And no emails ! And no guests on the guestbook !
Wow, I'm impressed, we'll definitely be the next music phenomenon.....in the
next 45 years. Anyway, for those who didn't read the late October news update
(I'm writing this crap with a serious and intelligent face) here's a little
recap. 2 months ago I wrote that I was regaining my mental stability after
a very messy period: that's true, now I'm paranoid, schizophrenic and I say
the same things everyday. Then the whole band promised you a lot of things:
redesigned website, new band name (TFBP) and new mp3 website. As you can see
with your very eyes we have changed absolutely nothing ! [ :* This should
be one of those stupid faces everyone includes on emails ] I'm sorry, we had
a tough time, a lot of work to do and still no ideas for the new design of
the site (we still have really powerful minds), but you can be sure that something
will change with the beginning of the new year (unless, of course, you feel
happy and smart while reading "Merry Christmas" in August). At least
the new mp3 website will come out pretty soon (am I right, Liar ?), so that
you'll be able to hear how we used to suck in 2002 and you will also find
high quality versions of our current songs. As long as our autoproduced cd
is getting quite old right now, we'll be back in the studios on May to record
a new mini album: it will include five or six songs and you will have a taste
of it as usual. It's tentatively entitled "The supreme art of losing".
More news soon. Well, after all I have a teeny-weeny change for you right
now: do you remember the good old wrestling news corner ? It's over, because
I reeeeally hate those so called insiders: they keep saying things like "Sd!
sucks", "that thing sucks", "that guy sucks" and
so on. Well I've got news for you obese shit-eating nerds: I love Sd! and
I love the Undertaker's entrance even if it's 30 minutes long ! Whenever I
see the guy coming out my face says it all: eyes wide open, mouth wide open
and a genuine dumb look (if you can't figure it out watch "Late night
with Conan o'Brien).
Before closing up I have a serious request: it seems 1000+ messages on your
board were not enough, but please, dear guys from typeonegative.net, instead
of giving us news about Johnny Kelly playing with this and that (with maximum
respect to the guy), tell us something about Peter's health condition: we're
all really worried about the status of the Man of Steele and we really need
to know because we really love him ! Dear Pete, your band is one of the 2
or 3 reasons why I'm still alive in this crappy world, so be well soon and
keep on amazing us with your wonderful songs. Merry Christmas. And merry Christmas
to all of you 24 fans, happy New Year, happy Whateveryouwant. Take care. Hate
your President. Hate this world.
Peace.
Ricky Martyr.

LATE
OCTOBER NEWS: WHEN ONE DIES, TWO WILL RISE
Hi everyone,
It's been quite a while since the August short, but in the last few months
I was so messed up that it took me some time to regain my mental stability
(I'm not a drug addict, you malicious freaks ! Also, remember what those good
old videogames used to say about winners not using drugs. Hmmm... Now that
I think about it, that message used to sound a little bit ridiculous, but
trust uncle Ricky and save your cash for something else. If you really don't
know what to do with it you can always make a donation to the TFBP Society,
we accept every currency). A few weeks ago I really wanted to kill the Ricky
Martyr character, but then I changed my mind because my useless brain was
unable to find a better name, so mr. M is still here as well as mr. G and
mr. K, but The Fair Bitch Projekt will soon be no more: the band will go on
with its pathetic existence under the name of TFBP, so that we'll never use
that bad word, "Fair", anymore. With this new, revolutionary name
we need a new, revolutionary design for our website and, though we don't have
any good idea right now, you will hopefully have a totally different tfbp.net
to explore before Christmas (Hey Hey Ho !). We're working on new material
these days: a new song called Y.M.A.D is ready to go as well as a new cover
and more is coming up; if we're unfortunately unable to find a label with
our actual release (don't laugh, please), a new demo cd will certainly be
out next year and it will be the best demo cd ever released by a human being
(maybe cats can do better) ! In August I promised to go on with the "Here
comes the (com)plaint" saga, but then I realised it was just a waste
time: the biz will never change, some people will never change, our Prime
Minister will never change and even bushes will never change, nothing more
to say. So the H.C.t.(C).P era is over, but I still have a few things to point
out for TFBP's own good:
1) I personally
DON'T hate the press, I perfectly know how important it is for a stupid band
like this and that's why we're still sending cds (call them demos, promos,
shit, whatever) to magazines, djs, radios, websites, people on the street
etc., but I think we're not the only ones who should show some humility: you
can feel like gods when you're dealing with a band like TFBP, you can be free
to say lies about TFBP (for example you can say that TFBP sends promos without
including biography, picture and booklet: who cares about nobodies like us
?) and you can even say that TFBP's members speak Spanish instead of Italian,
but what about the "Great Guys" ? Do you think you'll get their
respect believing they're nothing without you ? Do you think you can still
run your magazine/website without those minions who decide to give you their
music for free ?
2) Recently
someone said that our demo cd can't be considered a cd because it's just a
collection of mp3 files: that's not true. Our demo cd contains cd tracks,
the mp3s you can hear or download from here (for those who are interested:
we're currently trying to build up a new mp3 homepage like the one we had
on mp3.com. If everything goes well you'll be able to hear our mp3s with a
better sound and some songs from the past) represent an easy, cheap way to
know our music, but they don't represent our demo in its entirety and the
sound quality is not as good as it is on cd. Before closing I really want
to thank those who recently asked for a TFBP promo despite all the lies about
us. Please keep asking !
I'll be
back soon,
Ricky "don't kill me, please" Martyr.
AUGUST
SHORT
Dear folks,
fortunately for you I'm not in the mood and I don't have the time to write
my usual bunch of nothing, so this is gonna be just a small update in which
I want to say: "I'm sorry" to a couple of guys who proved me wrong.
During the "Here comes the (com)plaint" era (which still goes on:
I will get back to it as soon as I have the time) I have mentioned Rachel
and Azrael, owners of the www.gothicrevue.com website, saying that they were
just like those who ask for a free promo and then they put you in trash. Fortunately
I was wrong this time, in fact these guys proved, unlike many others we came
into contact with, that they are serious and they have a genuine passion for
this job. So i personally apologize for my misplaced anger and for questioning
them and I also thank them very much for dealing with us (even if they personally
insulted me a little bit more than I did, but this is just my opinion). That's
the bottom line and I wish them all the best in this world. Before I close
I have a little message for virtually everyone of you: if you decide to take
a pet, mainly a dog or a cat, I suggest that you take some time to really
think about it, because if you suddenly decide to leave him you condemn him
(or her) to a life worse than hell, no matter he's left dying on a street
or they put him in a steel cage. Bye for now, I really hope TFBP will be back
soon stronger than ever to seriously kick some ass. We're still alive, we're
still concerned and we're still ready to write, perform and record new material.
THE
DEATH AND RESURRECTION SHOW (should be January news)
Ok, ok,
It's been quite a while since this website was last updated and in the past
three months we have probably lost those 4 or 5 fans who used to care about
us, but in a way or another we're not dead and we're back with hot news (I'm
using the word "hot" so that all the guys who may come here after
typing the keyword "Bitch" will not feel too disappointed).
Let's have a little recap first: a bit more than one year ago (to be precise
almost one year and a half) we brought to life our very first recorded material
and we put it on cd releasing the infamous "Work in Regress Demo Cd 2002",
which gave us a few happy moments and a decent amount of frustration.
Now, after seven months of work, three months spent minding our own business,
three good old Brian De Palma movies (Carrie, Dressed to kill and Blowout.
See? We're stupid but not THAT stupid), three nervous breakdowns and more
than 1000 cigarettes I'm here to announce that our new "titanic demo/album-to-be"
currently entitled "True Fake" has finally reached its completion
and again it's promotion time: labelmasters, journalists and djs around will
receive sooner or later a promo cd entitled "True Short Demo Cd (guess
what ?) 2003" featuring 2 previously unreleased tracks, a new and hopefully
improved version of the song "Proud & Lonely" and 8 samples/snippets
from 8 album tracks (if you're a labelmaster / journalist / dj and you have
decided that your life is meaningless cause you didn't receive your copy of
the promo feel free to contact us. Of course the meaningless thing is a joke
but seriously if we may interest you don't hesitate to give us a call). The
whole "True Fake" release features 12 tracks consisting of 10 "real"
songs (Moneybags 2003, Child of a Lesser God, D-generated X, Sexxxually Evil,
Proud & Lonely 2003, Burning the Way 2003, Decay 2003, Everybody is Bringing
Me Down (instrumental), Scary Kerry and Damned By U), an intro (The Bitchin'
Hour: I know a lot of people doesn't like intros but this is only 1,30 minutes
long and that's why we haven't extracted a sample from it) and a cover which
would still like to remain anonymous. Total running time: almost 51 minutes
(much longer than a lot of "real" albums, especially the major ones).
So what about our 2 or 3 devoted and loyal fans ? In the beginning we wanted
to put mp3s from "Child of a Lesser God" and "Sexxxually Evil"
on our mp3.com page, but then we received a sad e-mail announcing that everybody's
favourite mp3 website was about to end. I would like to say a few things about
it because in my opinion this is really bad news: first of all it's bad news
for us as TFBP, in fact we lost our possibly greatest opportunity to promote
our music (almost every email we received in the last 2 years from fans-to-be,
uninterested supporters, djs, journalists and label-related workers came through
mp3.com), then it's bad news for me as a generic music listener because through
mp3.com I could come into contact with a lot of wonderful acts that I didn't
know before (including Idol Worship's mistressmind, who used to appear in
my most pleasant dreams a couple of years ago) and then I think it's bad news
for independent music in general. Rest in peace.
So what about you guys? In the end, as soon as you read this, you should be
able to find here on TFBP.net the following stuff: the damn mp3s from CoaLG
and SE in their complete versions and 8 samples from 8 other True Fake songs:
these samples are low quality (64 kbps) due to website memory restrictions
but it's not a total cacophony after all. All these things have been written
("Musik & Lyriks" as he likes to say) by a guy named Alessandro
A. Farese and performed in their entirety by Liar, Krist and me. Complete
credits are (or will be) somewhere on this website (courtesy of our webdrummer
Liar).
Sooner or later you will also find here some new pictures of us if we don't
run out of memory (ok, we look uglier than before but we were out of makeup,
we were happy like Queen Marie Antoinette the day she was sentenced to death,
we were more nervous than a whore in a church, it was raining cats and dogs
and put here all the sayings you want.....I forgot to say that a few guys
among us didn't like the photographer too) and, as long as so many people
requested them (actually we have 0 requests), lyrics from 2 or 3 songs (let's
say three) will appear on the Lyrics page.
Before fading away there's something I want to point out: if we succeed in
finding a new "second home" after mp3.com's death, all the music
featured here will be moved there and we'll probably upload cd quality samples
plus one or two tracks from our old abortion once called "Work in Regress".
If something changes you will know it here.
Okey, that's all for now: if you like our new songs we're waiting for your
feedback, otherwise you don't need to consume your fingers just to say we
suck (I'm a really childish and silly guy, so what ?).
Until next time,
Ricky "nazi state dweller" Martyr.
P.S Rip the system !
SEPTEMBER
+ a bit of OCTOBER NEWS:
Hi folks,
it's been quite a while since I last posted my stupid chit chat thing on this
beloved website and now that my life is getting even worse (a problem every
minute...) here I go again. First of all, Krist, Liar and me would really
like to say THANK YOU to John "Fact56" and Dontjudgeme (a.k.a Kim)
for the very kind words about us and our music :
in this hell of a life of mine your words were like diamonds in a costume
jeweller's, God bless you (whatever he/she/it is) and keep on supporting TFBP.
And now let's get to that boring thing once known as studio report : since July we have finished the keyboards, improved the guitars and even the infamous bass parts have been succesfully performed (thanks to Laurent Narducci from Narducci Design who brought us the bass); now we have a rough voiceless mix of the whole album which will become the final mix as soon as we record the vocals at Spazio 211 (currently I can't do that in my home studio cause I don't have a good mic) during the first week of October. So we' ve nearly made it and that's a good thing because I 'm tired of being a producer and I want to be in "creative mode" again : desperation always brings a lot of inspiration.....
Next
on TFBP channel : I'm quite sure the album will be finished before November,
then we'll send a promo to record labels worldwide trying to get a deal (
hoping results will be better than last year), bios and various stuff available
here will be updated together with a new page featuring samples from most
of the album songs, two new and complete tracks will be added to the mp3.com
page and I hope our keyboard weirdo Krist will stop travelling to France every
week to meet his fiancee so that we'll be able to develop some new music.
Ok, after this totally unfunny news it's over for now : next time I hope I'
ll be a shiny happy puppy. Take care and get ready to listen to TFBP 2003,
it will be a hell of a pleasure (check this out maaaan !).
Lonelinessly
yours,
Ricky "get me out of my grave !" Martyr.
Who
cares about Summer ? (July) news
Welcome to www.tfbp.net, the website that counts more than 1000 visitors !
As you can imagine we're really happy about it, mostly considering that we're
still unknown as a band and we haven't posted new songs/samples/whatever (whenever
& wherever) since the creation of this website (I really hope we'll give
you something new in 2 months and a half), so thank you for your time ! I
believe that most of you came here just once because of the "Bitch"
word in the name, but it really doesn't matter: in this special occasion we
want to thank all the porno fans around and we're sorry if you wasted your
time for nothing cause there are no dirty pics inside (don't be sad,if we
included them it would be nothing new as long as I don't know girls who would
be happy to do "those things", it's just a miracle for me knowing
2 or 3 female beings). We also want to thank all the wonderful people who
promoted us around the net. Now it's studio report time.
Since the May (or June) news I have personally experienced every kind of pain
in the ass: family, work and personal problems and they were a bit more serious
than usual but despite all this mess I have recorded at least 98% of the guitar
parts (just 2 solos, a little melody and a few scratches missing, so nothing
to worry about). They are still rough versions and I will probably do the
corrections in August. We should start recording the keyboards in 3 or 4 days,
but I'm not sure because we haven't been much in contact in the last few days:
I believe my dear bandmates are also pretty busy. I don't know if you can
find it right know, but our webdrummer has decided to post his own personal
studio report regarding the drum recordings: you should be able to find his
personal comments together with new pictures of himself (how could he take
pictures of himself while playing the drums ?). Adding this he's definitely
becoming the most photographed bandmember here, but I'm not envious (I'm not
a nice thing to look at these days). I promised to include a lot of things,
but I'm too tired to do it so I will just briefly introduce a couple of guys
who are working with us during these studio days: give a warm welcome to ThE_tOol
and Doktor M!
These two "beings" are also the core members of a Techno/Electro/SpaceTrance+LordsOfAcid-like
band called ElektroKute (maybe this name will change: I can't believe there
are no other Elektrokute bands in the world !). The interesting thing about
it is that they claim to feature "a misterious female vocalist"
who obviously doesn't exist.Anyway, mr.Tool is truly a perfect collaborator
as long as he never talks (really!) and he always does the right thing at
the right time (just yesterday he started setting up the keyboards); on the
contrary Dok is the opposite of him : a real parasite who dresses like a surgeon
(with the mask and all the rest) because he thinks we look like twins and
he doesn't want to have a clone of himself. They have promised they will release
a few remixes as soon as the album is done. Before closing I just want to
invite you to express your personal opinion about song lyrics on this website:
do you want to know the meaning of our songs (maybe the ones at mp3.com) ?
It's true that I use this space to say a lot of stupid things, but this doesn't
mean that I write stupid things (at least not on every song), after all we
play depressive music... So you decide: do you want to know the dark side
of the Rick ?
That's all for now, I think I'll write a message to Krist because he has totally
disappeared in the last few weeks. If we still have a keyboard player, see
you next time.Ricky "The one and only deadweight champion" Martyr
Last
minute announcements
(let's say ten days later the "who cares etcetera news")
Our lovely keyboard player Krist is back and ready for action and I would
like to thank the wonderful TFBP manager for fixing a keyboard-related problem
we experienced in the last few days. If you can read this it means our webdrummer
is back and ready for action too, otherwise these lines are totally useless
(it seems I'll have to hack my own website to publish these stupid announcements).
Cheers !

latest news
As Ricky said, a first studio report (with pictures !) is at last available.
Click here to check it out !
"Don't
know it exactly, but it should be May" news
Here we
are again my friends,
As usual it's a very busy period for everyone of us, that's Why we asked our
very efficient Fairbitch Info Agency to post the shorts you read in the last
few months : they did a nice job, mostly considering that they have nothing
to do with us (do you believe it ? I don't).
After all those stupid announcements we're finally working on our debut album/new
promo: we recorded the drum tracks in April and now we're processing them
at "Tugurium/The Mother Of Nothing" Studio which is fully operative
at last;as you can imagine this drum thing is reeaallyy funny but that's the
price you've got to pay when you decide to release something in the name of
the good old D.I.Y philosophy. It will be a looong and difficult job (we think
we'll be ready to record the vocal stuff in September or late August) and
I'm sure we will invent some nice new bad words in the next few months, but
I also hope our work will be appreciated this time: aren't you tired of all
these 11 year old kids playing cloned stuff ? 'Nuff said...
As usual we thank all the new tfbp.net visitors, we're very happy to see how
the counter has been growing recently, so thank you thank you thank you. I
won't go for the "Don't be afraid to write to us" stuff, but please
note that I've run out of friends and it would be nice sharing a word with
a human Being every now and then. Speaking of which, here's how it ended with
my "dear ones" (check out December and January news for details,
hoping they're still in the news archive ) : ..... (it means I don't know
how it ended because they have totally disappeared since February and sincerely
I'm tired to try to contact those kids for nothing, maybe they're dead..).
For those who are interested in the album tracklist (it deserves a shot, trust
me), I think it will be put in the news archive (I don't know what our webdrummer
will do about it) so check it out and if it's still where it used to be keep
on reading !
Okey, now it's time to get back to drum work: next time we'll go on with the
studio report, we'll introduce DoktoRM and The_Tool, (two guys who will work
in the studio with us and also the official TFBP remixers), we hope we'll
have a bass guitar (a real one, do you remember mr John Lucas ?), maybe there
will be the Krist The Klown interview, Liar's doubles and all the very interesting
things announced before plus new insults to the Italian government, so come
back soon! I still need a woman!!!!
All for now, see you soon,
write to us or die at noon,
keep on watching, you'll do well,
otherwise you'll go to hell,
Ricky
Martyr, the next big Rick (oh my God, that's horrible..).
P.S our demo songs are still available at our mp3.com page so check'em out
if you haven't heard them yet.

It's birthday
time again ! On April 11 it was TFBP manager Sarah's birthday and on April
13 it was mysterious keyboard player Krist the Klown's birthday (we hope his
party was not too "toxic"). Recording process has finally started
at Studio no.1 (studio no.2 coming reeeaaalllyyy soon) so check out this website
for a decent studio report soon (if you're interested, of course). We all
thank Nemeth Balint from Hungary for his kind support : don't worry, we won't
forget you and your radio show. All for now, more of everything coming soon.

Hi folks,
Today it's Wicked Ricky Martyr's birthday and we're NOT gonna party because
it's a very busy period for the TFBP members ! Despite some electrical problems
at the studio that forced the guys to stay at home last week and despite all
the things to do outside the music realm, it is confirmed (for those who care,
anybody home ?) that April is the right month to start recording. More birthdays
coming soon, The Fair Bitch Info Agency.
Part
February, part March news
1, 2, 3, go: Don't be fooled by the shit that I've got/I'm still I'm still
Ricky from the block / I used to have a little now I don't have a fuck / I
don't care what you know go back where you came frooooom...Hi everybody, The
TFBP (named "a gothic rock band" by Carrie Carolin herself who recently
added us to her ultra-famous Dark Side of the Net gothic web-bible: thank
you very much !) guys are all alive and well, but unfortunately the same thing
can't be said for our demo song "Moneybags" which was forced to
leave our mp3.com page due to website restrictions (check out past news &
guestbook for details). Things are going well with our album-to-be "True
Fake": the "creative" process is definitely over and finally
we have all the songs ready to go. For those who are interested here's the
tracklist:
1 The bitchin'hour-intro (every good album deserves an intro,
every bad album includes an intro to be even more pathetic)
2 Moneybags (sloooooow babe 2003 mix)
3 D-generated X (our most infamous song: it changes every
now and then and even its title was different a few weeks ago)
4 Proud & lonely (not so proud but really lonely 2003
mix)
5 It's the coverversion of a song which would like to remain anonymous at
the moment
6 Decay (pass her the lipstick 2003 mix)
7 Everybody is bringing me down (instru-mental)
8 Burnin' the way (album version, the one at mp3.com can
be considered the demo-edit)
9 Sexxxually evil (dark female babies hit the dancefloor)
10 Scary Kerry (this post-adolescent song was written in
1996 during the so called "Canyon Lake year". It's back with new
lyrics and some musical improvements)
11 Child of a lesser god (it should turn into "Child
of a stupid god" or something like that, but then we'd lose all the lyricism...)
12 Marika, Alina, Francesca(s) (another instrumental track.
Its title could also be "How to be a fool and regret it for the next
10 years)
13 Damned by U (dedicated to all those who usually fall in
love with fat ugly red monsters)
We're also planning to include a ghost track if we have the time. That's all,
in a couple of weeks we'll record a few demo tapes and then we'll be ready
for the studio. Coming soon on TFBP.net: new songs/samples, the officially
useless studio report, the real story of our misterious keyboard player Krist
(he never talks..), how to be a bass player without a bass (in 2 lessons),
a scoop: our webdrummer Liar and his (almost) 10 doubles and, lastly and leastly,
Ricky and the "dear friends": the final battle ("it will end
in blood and in a total waste of time"). For those about to write to
us, we salute you!

6th 2003
A new year starts
for The Fair Bitch Projekt (named "another band with a cool name " by an unknown
guy who wrote on a website that no longer works) and finally our stunning
new web domain is alive and kicking:this means no more pop-ups, banners and
requests from the goddamn Gator Corporation ! We say hi to all the new visitors
and we give an advice: if you haven't download our song "Moneybags" yet at
our mp3.com page, you are invited to do it fast if interested because it will
be removed soon due to website restrictions (check out the past news for more
info). The building of our home studio (tentatively called "Tugurium studios-The
mother of nothing") is going pretty nicely : our ex-bass player and nowadays
ex-producer Andrea The Man has recently provided some new good stuff to us
and we thank him very much for being a good friend, always. As announced before
this year will also welcome the release of our first full-length serious album
"True Fake" that will be soon in search of a distributor: labels, expect a
promo later on ! For all those who may (and I say "MAY") decide to write to
us check out the new addresses on the Contacts page, the Guestbook remains
the same, with the same old messages (sigh ! In case you didn't know it, I
would like to say that if you decide to use the TFBP guestbook you're not
forced to leave your e-mail address, so don't be afraid and write the hell
of something sometimes !!!). Ok, as everybody knows I hardly use this website
for my personal opinions/interests/deliria but this time I'm so bothered Bewitched
and Bewildered, thank you Joss Whedon)/ frustrated/ disappointed by women's
behaviour that I really need to express myself :
1) our government sucks exactly as it used
to do in 2002 (check out the past news for details): rip the system like uncle
Sascha K(MFDM) always says !
2) it's woooomeeeeeen time ! It's amazing
how you humiliate yourself to please them and the end result is a shot to
the heart.What can I say ? 2002 (+ the first days of 2003 of course) was again
a complete failure for what concerns my so called "Love affairs" so your favourite
guy here is still proud, lonely and hard as a Rick ! Ladies around are invited
to write to me if interested (My face and a bit of my body are on the Picture
section: skip the "Making of Work In Regress" Series or whatever it's called
because those pictures of me SUCK ! The guy there is a gone wrong clone which
was created by the Raelians) or to bring me some words of consolation.
Our manager wants me to write it again
and here I go : don't forget to buy the new Velvet Acid Christ and Type O
Negative this year, okay ?
More news to come,
you're Ricky Martyr next
door.

Hi,
first of all this site
has updated its links page : you can give it a look
if you're searching for other rookies like us or (more or less) famous bands
you always wanted to get in touch with, courtesy from our webdrummer (part drummer,part
webmaster) Liar "Rubberdick" Gallagher, who has also decided to put a new pic
of himself on the pictures section for all his fans around
the universe: don't miss it if you love our modern day Beatle clone ! The mp3.com page has also become less impersonal,featuring "stories behind the songs" and
other (useless ?) extra info on the world of TFBP. Speaking of mp3.com, we got
our first ~130 total plays these days and I really want to say thank you to
these brave guys who didn't care wasting time with our songs: we'll probably
be dead before reaching up to 16000 plays like Inkubus Sukkubus but we're happy
anyway. Many thanks to all our new visitors here! We have seen the counter increasing
fast some time ago and this was a good cure for frustration so what happened
recently ? Are you sick of us so soon ? Don't let us get sick, keep on
watching and try to be patient with all those pop-ups our server is glad to
send (I really don't understand why on certain days we're totally pop-up free
and on the others we get "Win a plasma VCR" every now and then) like every other
"free server" on the net (the others are even worse, trust me and things are
getting better you lucky guys). Last and first: CONTACT
US !!! Our last but not least thank you goes to the following people who
helped us spreading our virus all over the world : Jack Strauss @ Gothic
Radio (you know what to do to request our song and if you don't check out
the past news), D. Trees @ Bloodfetish and Bloodring and webmasters from Gothic
Links (.com & .de), Darklinks Germany and Goth-cafe. No thanks to the only
(guess what ?) Italian web site we tried to contact (it's called Erba della
strega and I won't give you the address) and their webmasters decided we were
not goth enough for them (please note that they have a "New Italian acts" page
on this site where they host Ultravox clones and death rock (!!!!) bands). We
don't know anything about Miss Caroline's decisions, so we're waiting before
sending our gentle "No thanks" to her. What about the future of the band ? We're
actually performing new material which will be recorded next year at some time,
probably on late Spring, always hoping something positive will happen .

We are proud and lonely
to announce that our song “Burning the way” is now featured on the New Acts
channel of Gothic Radio , undoubtedly
one of the best streaming net radios for all those who like alternative music.
If you’re pleased to hear our song there and you don’t want to spend the whole
day waiting for us you can open their menu and click on the “Request a song”
button, then you fill the spaces in the following way : “Artist – The Fair Bitch
Projekt, Artist song – Burning the way, Album – mp3 submission”.
We’re also going to adorn our mp3.com
page quite soon in order to give you extra information regarding us and
our music, so check it out sometimes in the near future.
One day new and improved music stuff will
be added as well.
While still waiting for our hundredth visitor
on this website, I kindly invite you once more to listen to or download our
songs and maybe give us your opinion via guestbook or e-mail addresses.
Sometimes
at the beginning of October
I would like to take
a minute to thank Absolute Steel, an apparently Norwegian band which entitled
its first (and maybe last) album “The Fair Bitch Project”, our former name before
adding an exotic touch.Thank you for spreading our name all over the world :
why not changing yours into “Absolute Steal” ?
