[Sep. 15th, 2004|04:14 pm] |
**************************************** *********************** Fetisch launches the next piece of Fetischmusic.com/FindaFreek.com!
The new online magazine!
Reoccuring columnist Messy Stench introduces RudeBitch!
The Club33 column is about everything your catholic priest told your parents would make satan spawn out of you.
FetischNews: Finally we also have up-to-date news every two weeks from Fetisch
An article each issue from a select member of FindaFreek, FreekSpeak.
And, the cornerstone of the magazine, Da Family bringing in our friends from different bands to speak directly to everyone. Dro from Deadstar Assembly stars in the first issue, with upcoming articles pledged by Jared/Chemlab, Rogue/Cruxshadows, and many many more.
Its been another mass effort to fight against the societal grain to put out an effort that will definitely be stirring up the ether for quite some time to come.
Enjoy the next evolution,
Fetisch |

although we werent turning any dials or pressing any buttons, but we were definitely there to witness this amazing occurance within our history.
more pics/video to come. i've seen some of the news coverage, and it barely covers the incredible significance of today.
it felt like a handful of great friends at a rock concert. like an ultra-mini woodstock, or perhaps the earlier years of burning man. it pulsed with excitement for the amazing event that it was. a team of individuals, private funded, pulled off the very first private sector suborbital space launch. an incredible step forward for society and our achievements outside of government. instead of the billions afforded by NASA, several visionaries came together to launch a seasoned 62-year old pilot into the atmosphere wearing nothing more than jeans and a shirt. nothing fancy, nothing overdone.
It was the first USA man in space in two years.
(since the shuttle program has been shut down)
i suppose the musical analogy would be the difference in watching the uber-expensive flashy-light everything-behind-the-scenes Britney Spears production (NASA) ... and then watching Eric Clapton saunter over with nothing more than one guitar, one amp, one cord, plug it in, and rock the house even harder. hell yeah.
This is perhaps the early beginnings towards public space flights to the moon.
This is science in the hands of the public.
This is a new legend for our generation to behold.
When the successful SpaceshipOne landed on the runaway it was an amazing sense of humanity. They pulled the rocket along the landing way with the pilot dancing a jig atop of it. He stood and waved while others took pictures. Hell, he even grabbed his OWN camera and took pictures of the crowd taking pictures of him. Now that was fucking beautiful. The humility to participate in the moment himself, along with the rest of the world. To further the outstanding moment, ship designer Burt Rutan ran across the runaway, into to the crowd, and asked for one of the signs a few guys were holding next to us.
(its the sign below, picture from MSNBC.com)
Mojave Airport was officially commissioned by the FAA as "The First Inland Spaceport"
Burt Rutan sums it up best with a quote explaining the ambition it takes to pull off an event that changes the world - "Your ability to deal with chaos and nonsense defines your creativity."

 | Stirring up Trouble at C10! |
Cheers to everyone I partyed with at Convergence 10 in Chicago! It was an incredible time with much Absinthe (ahh.. yes.. extra thanks to those who shared bitter charm of wormwood!). It was great to see so many people from Fetisch's FindaFreek, as well as many friends from last year. It took half of Sunday to recover from Saturday.. (which sort of lasted into half of Sunday anyways... but what the hell, we still had alcohol to consume!... heh.. ;) )
Here's a few pics for all who missed out. Photo credits to:

[Apr. 2nd, 2004|05:17 pm] |
Ahhh! Apologies for things taking so long again for an update.
Half the reason is because we've been busy, and the other half of the reason is we've been stowing away like hermits working on the album. >;)
However last night a few of us took a much needed break and took a moment off to have some drinks and kick back with a few hundred sexy models at Trashy Lingerie's 30th Anniversary Party.
It was a cool night... including the nameless business exec who fell in love with our 4 uberhot escorts, and offered to foot the tab for some late night partying and dining... (ha!)
No pixxx from the night to post.. well none showing anything legal that is... ha! .. hmm.. ok, well heres'a couple that I think were captured from a cellphone... its only mild evidence, so... heh
The party was quite cool... with of course many enjoyable visuals. Dita von Teese made a couple on-stage appearances as well.
I'm sure theres more pics around somewhere considering the constant video and cameras thrust at our head. Oh - and SOME network microphone toting whitegirl-downtown-julie-brown-with-a-foreign-accent decided to interview us on the whole red carpet entrance/etc during a completely SOBER moment asking the most inane questions. It had about the same effect as being woken from a deep sleep and being asked scientific theory. "uhhh? huuu?" .. We would have given $20 just to have gone inside, had 3 drinks, and come back out to make fun of her on camera instead. tsktsk..
ha..
more cool stuff soon... |

| Fetisch family in GothicBeauty #12 |
[Feb. 24th, 2004|08:40 pm] |
| A few members of the Fetisch family are in the latest issue of Gothic Beauty! |
So go grab yourself a copy (or just rip out the appropriate pages without anyone looking... shhhh!)...
Be sure to see Fetisch's FindaFreek covergirl Lucidique in the Wicked Talent showcase!
And yes, thats Angel in the centerfold with the deathrock band "Astrovamps". It seems he's been secretly known to put down the mic and pick up the guitar once in a while. ;)
also, theres a rumor floating around that ERock may help some friends out and be seen this year on stage at Germany's Wave Gotik Treffen festival... hmm!
Dont forget -- the next issue of Gothic Beauty will have a half page dedicated to Fetisch and the winners of Fetisch's FindaFreek promotion contest too. Hell yeah!
Plus, more cool Europe news soon about Fetisch... we'll DEFINITELY keep you posted! >;) |

| [ | Current Music |
| | Pink Floyd - "The Show Must Go On" | ] | Wow! so many things going on...
eRock and I and are sitting around the mixing boards and computers... so we decided to take a break to share a few much needed updates!
The website is whoopin' ass!
The album is whoopin' ass!
50 - 100 new people are joining up on the site per day...
so many cool people.. we wish we had more time to say hello.
But, we'll see everyone on tour soon, so... ;)
There's a new MP3 clip on the website to listen to!
Its a rough mix we just dumped down from the mix board just to give everyone a quick rough idea of what the album will be like... so check it out! click the blinking mp3 icon on the splash page of the website...
Also, here's a special message from Juliette!
I was going to post on the LJ, but I see you've
already changed the password. So. Would you mind
posting this for me, AS me:
I wanted to let everyone know that I've decided to
leave Fetisch. I've had nothing but good, crazy times
in this band, and I've met a lot of great people. But
after a lot of soul-searching, I've realized that
things with it are going in a different direction than
the path that *I* need to be on... There's no drama,
everyone is still friends, and I will make it a point
to be there whenever Fetisch plays again, throwing
granny panties at the stage, and taunting our buddy
Damon "Shadow". ;)
Love and spankings to everyone, and you can still find
me on Find-a-Freek and on the site's messageboard. :)
-Juliette

We're happy as fuck to say we've met our launch goals for the website! Our goal was 200 users before 2/14.. today we'll clear 250. We hit it in HALF the time. It looks we'll hit our goal of 2000 for 4/1 without any problem at all.
Matter of fact, we're definitely *past* testing.
But our "official" release date will stay the same as we fix up some of the tiny things that we're finding from time to time.
Things are actually going so well, that cool new features have been added that werent even on our list before launch.
If you're a club promoter - contact us.
We want to have the FindaFreek portion of the site more involved with what you're doing. Certain parts of the site can be customized to your local scene for clubs ads/info/specialevents/etc..
We just want more more beautifully twizted freeks to share.
Special thanks to Detroit's Mephisto's and The Scirocco from LV4 Media in Detroit for helping us prototype this feature.
..and of course continued thanks to Casey at Seventh-Circle (birdinflight seventhcircle) for continuing to kick even more arse.
We've got a lot of requests for tshirts/hoddies/stuff (and the new CD) too! THX!
Its all on the way soon, we promise!...
HERE! The new FindaFreek banner! Fetisch banners on the way soon too!
Go nuts with it and we'll LUST after you.
(see above signup contest)
Again, Casey from Seventh-Circle demonstrates quite skillfully...
livejournals, messageboards, websites, as a sticker on your cat, tattooed on your forehead, on your teacher's car, even tattooed on your cat... these are all great an effective guerilla techniques we encourage.
>;)

We're just finishing get all the Fetisch photos up and making improvements here and there... So, if you've got a crowd, bring 'em in! We'd be ever grateful if you can post about the site in your own LiveJournal's as well...
speaking of which... we've also put something together to get YOU in the spotlight along with us! One of the magazines we'll be advertising the album and the website is the summer issue of Gothic Beauty, and we'd love to have you as a part of it all. Its a twisted little contest we came up with... signup, login, check it out!

| all good / last 100 years |
[Jan. 19th, 2004|03:58 am] |

relaxing, partying, and great friends...
So speaking of the website...
We've identified some of the bugs, and it hasnt completely crashed (heh).. although there are a few critical bugs we're going to fix this week. Some people are having some difficulty in logging on.. we'll take a closer look at that too.
THANK YOU EVERYONE whos helped out this week.
Although the site isnt what we'd call public yet, we want to get some more people involved to do more testing.
LOG ON! SIGN UP!

BE SURE TO ADD A PROFILE UNDER THE FWEEKS SECTION.
----------------------------------------
Also, here's an excerpt from the Fetisch message board.. if you've got comments .. hell yeah.. wanna hear 'em.. but if you could, go post 'em on the message board so we can test that out a bit more. >;) ...
http://www.fetischmusic.com/default.asp
I have this saying of when things look like "they dont add up" ... they usually dont. Our bullsh*t detectors are stronger than most of us give ourselves credit for. Yet, so much we think about, and then popular media "redirects" us from realizations just as we begin to ponder the real details.
Heres a great one to start with:
You spend 12 years in school before you graduate highschool.
What are you taught about history?
Yes.. that BORING FUC*ING class about Alexander the Great, or whatever BS happened Europe, who took over what, social studies, what war leader conquered who, Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire, yeah, all that crap... etc. (btw, you're right. Chances are you'll never use that information again in life... )
So speaking of History.. how far back does that stuff date?
Heck, lets go deeper... how far back does the BIBLE date?
a little more than 2000 years right? We're in 2004 AD right now, so...
So fine... then theres all the scientific discoveries of man and homo sapiens that date back 1,000 - 10,000s of years. OK. So! HUMANS have alive for... a long fu*king time.
Now - lets look at science.
40 years ago we landed on the moon.
75 years ago we invented television.
100 years ago we were building a better musket-rifle.
...and in the 40 recent years we've developed computers, nuclear technology, sattelites, cloning humans, and nanotechnology.
OKAY, SO THATS A LITTLE MORE THAN ONE LIFETIME AGO. RIGHT?
Do you mean to tell me that ALL of this INCREDIBLE science has happened JUST in the past 100 years?
ONLY (and suddenly!) in the past 100 years, we've figured out how to blow up the Earth 100x over with war machines and technology?!
Now, I'm not asking you to do anything more, except ponder that.
Does that make logical sense to you?
That for 10,000s of years we were freakin' idiots with fire and a wheel running around going "oog! oog! caveman! oog!". But magically in the past 100 years we *suddenly* got smart? In ONE lifetime?!
Now add in this ingredient... inside the ancient tombs, pyramids, and writings of the world, there are pictures of airplanes, helicopters, and flying machines.
nawww... lets just reserve this for the occasional Discovery channel right?
who cares... doesnt matter... its just history, right? just some neat fluke that doesnt affect any of us...
"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'" -- 1984, George Orwell
