“Craigslist hookups, Canucks, and Magic Dust” or “Blown in Fallujah”

The Forward Bulletin
Volume 2
Entitled: “Craigslist hookups, Canucks, and Magic Dust” or “Blown in Fallujah”


Hello there my favorite internet addicts, I’m back to cook up another hit, and hold back your “Forward” withdrawals for at least another week. So close that craigslist personal’s dating page, stop watching that creepy guy pretending to be The Joker on YouTube, and let’s get down to business.

Guess what! Tour dates!! We’re putting together our west coast tour dates, the first leg of our official ‘Nothing But Teeth” support tour, for August/early September. It’ll take us all over the wonderful state of California, to Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. That’s right, even some of you Canuck fans can head south and finally attend a Forward show. Sounds like fun, aye? Check our myspace for dates, ‘cause clearly I’m too lazy to type out all of them here, but I assure you they exist. More are getting confirmed everyday.

Oh, and if you’re bummed out that we’re not coming to a dive-bar near you, let us know about it! We plan to be playing nonstop through to early 2009, and there’s no biker bar, church rec hall, coffee shop, or high school gymnasium that we plan to leave untouched by the Forward magic dust. (Ew!) So tell us you want “The Forward” to come to you! If you don’t speak up we don’t know about you, and then your participation grade goes way down, and you know that’s 25% of your final average!

We’ve fixed the bugs on our merchandise purchasing page. You can find them on our myspace page, so now you can pre-order our record and sport a new forward hat and t-shirt as part of your back-to-school wardrobe. What a way to impress your friends. And whats that?? A pre-release version of our record? Autogrpahed you say?! I’ll take Five. One for all of my friends. Just go steal your parent’s or your husband’s credit card, and click away!

One final thing, we’d love to hear from you. With the release of the record “Nothing But Teeth” we want to put our little Forward army to work. It’s a rag-tag crew for sure, and this resurgence would totally blow it in Fallujah, but we want to hear from you. We’re looking for artwork and ideas for promo and t-shirts. I know there are a lot of creative minds out there and we’d love your help. Also, we have record release posters we’d love to send out to everyone to hang at there local CD stores, high school, coffee shops, jail houses, pet stores and mini golf courses. What do you think? Your work will be handsomely rewarded (namely, The Forward sleeping on your floor and eating your food while we’re on tour).

Thanks to all of you who have helped and supported us. Keep listening, and call your local radio stations and request us. You’ve probably heard the song already. Can’t wait to see you soon!

I miss you, I’ve been thinking about you
And even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star. Then we'll be together,
Somewhere Out There,
out where dreams
come true.
