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 !

Liar's 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.

TFBP, hard goth rock with an attitude featuring asinine technology

Mid-April short
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.
The TFBP Info Agency with extra help from the Big Rick Machine.

26th March 2003
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!
Ricky "I left my soul in Canyon Lake: please bring it back" Martyr.

January 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.

November 15th 2002
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” ?
