With Lach over in the UK right now having what appears to be a great time as evidenced from his updates on the
www.trackrecords.tv  message board. It seems fitting to update that a UK version of Antifolk has changed its name from "antinam" (New Acusitic Movement) to Blang!, with Lach's permission of course.  The old name was just a pain to explain cause people kept thinking it was about the war.   Watch for Blang! updates here and some pages are possibly in the works as well.
The website has launched!  it is located appropriately at www.AtlantisBlack.com .  Check it out-  Atlantis did the site using HTML and we here at the fansite who use homestead's Drag and Drop method are impressed.  You can see her biography, some pics, lyrics, some press, and see her performance list.  Happy surfing.

Olive Juice Music has a new zine/catalogue! The first issue (Spring/Summer 2002) will be out sometime near Memorial Day.  Look for it in local NYC record stores, cool clubs, and at the open mics... you'll have a chance to  read about what's going on at OJ, read some poetry, look at photos and art by your favorite Olive Juice artists... And you can order some great music from there, too!   A glimpse of what you'll find: News about the Olive Juice Antifolk Compilation; poetry and artwork by Nan Turner, Randi Russo, and Toby Goodshank; articles and updates by Major Matt Mason and Prewar Yardsale.  Plus, a favorite recipe courtesy of Dina Levy!

Testosterone Kills are working on a new record that will be is very "all over the place".  Some songs will have a band, while other s will have  programming beats and use synth lines , while even others will be done  straight  (you know what i mean) acoustic tracks.  It'll be real cool.   They've joked about calling it "identity crisis", but thought better of it. Not sure when it will be out, but keep an ear open for it!
