- FEBRUARY 2003 -

New shirt.
2/28/03 - While it hasn't appeared on the official site yet, there looks to be a new shirt available from JSR Direct. Click here and scroll down to the bottom of the page to see it. Thanks to m0nkey for the heads up.

From the Land of Volcanos lyrics & production credits.
2/26/03 - Lucia's official website has been slightly redesigned and updated. Included in the update are the lyrics and production credits for every song on her album. In addition to "Little Rose" and "What You Become", it looks like Sascha also co-wrote the songs "Who Asked You" and "Ordinary Girl". Bill Rieflin is also credited on a few of the tracks, including a co-writing credit on "Who Asked You". You can see the page with the lyrics and credits here.

Official release date of Lucia's album.
2/19/03 - Lucia's official site has updated with a bit of news. The first single off of her album, "So Clever", will be released on April 15. The album itself will supposedly be released on May 15. However, this is most likely a typo, as May 15 is a Thursday. There's a possibility that they could be releasing it on May 15 to try and circumvent pirating, but it's unlikely they'd do that for a relatively small release such as this one.

Golden Age of Grotesque release date and tracklisting.

Thanks to MaR for the heads-up.

Bill Rieflin's diary updated.
2/17/03 - Bill has finally updated his online diary. However, as he's been working with REM for the past few weeks, there is understandably almost no KMFDM news. He does mention that someone asked him if he wanted to travel this summer, which could be a hint towards a possible KMFDM tour this summer.

New pic & vid of Skold w/Manson.
2/16/03 - Marilyn Manson has released an "in costume" pic of the new line up for his band, which includes Tim Skold. You can see the picture here. Also, there's a video which includes a few shots of Skold looking mopey. And boobies.

KMFDM.net updated.
2/15/03 - KMFDM.net updated with a few news tidbits. They've got a new webmaster and updates should be more regular now. Work still continues on WWIII, which will be released around late summer/early fall of this year. The new live DVD is almost done and should be finished in about two or three weeks, meaning it'll be released in about two months or so.

More Lucia news.
2/13/03 - Lucia's website is now officially live and accessible though www.luciamusic.com. Also, you can listen to the Lucia song "So Clever" in its entirety here. It's the website for the Universal Language sampler disc, which will feature "So Clever" and one other Lucia song.

Official Lucia site live...kind of.
2/13/03 - While the front page of Lucia's official site is still just a generic "under construction" placeholder, you can view a glimpse of the work in progress on her site here. There isn't really much up, but it does give you an idea of the visual style they're going for.

UPDATE: There is now a tracklisting and a couple of song samples in the media section. Looks like both the songs she worked on with Sascha, "Little Rose" and "What You Become", made it on to the album. Also included is the song she did for the American Pie 2 soundtrack, "I Will".

Bill Rieflin's whereabouts.
2/8/03 - In case you're wondering where Bill Rieflin's been for the past week or so, this explains it. Ya know, it's good that he's working, but dammit, he's working for the wrong acronym!
