The three East Coast shows seemed to be well documented, as people were using video cameras, digital cameras, and mini-disc recorders. If you have recordings or photographs of a BLOODYMINDED performance, we would definitely appreciate copies for our archives. Our DAT recorder cut out halfway through the Brooklyn set, assumedly, due to a stray brick, some mud, or Pieter’s general off-roading…
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

BloodLust! April 2004 update
--------------------------------------------------
News:
Once the dust settles (literally), work will resume on the forthcoming
BLOODYMINDED compact disc, "Gift Givers." We have completed
the basic writing process, and we hope to return to the studio, within
a month, to record the vocals and to complete the final mix. We are
working on securing a rather tricky, surprise, guest contribution that
has been complicated for legal reasons...It will happen!
The next Intrinsic Action archival release, "Five" (Vestige CD 6), is
in the pre-production stage. Bonus tracks are being selected, and
we anticipate that mastering will occur in May.
How about a show of hands for petite "Pro-Ana" babydoll T-shirts?!?
