Fashion a Cure Videos
THE SAD TRUTH: 40,000 Women a Year Die From Breast Cancer.
FASHION A CURE for the American Cancer Society was the social gala of the summer for the glamorous, giving and get-down rockers. Dexter's in Riverdale, New Jersey graciously lent the space for our friends Carly and Mary to coordinate the evening.
The Runway was decorated by up-and-coming designers For the Hell of It Clothing, Tom Lake Clothing, Sibyl Vain, Rebirth and Keep A Breast.org. Even mega-retailers Oakley lent some threads. Participants from America's Next Top Model strutted their stuff and Eric from Gym Class Heroes showed his support & attended.
Perfuma & Article A brought the ROCK and if you weren't there, shame on you for not supporting such a good cause, and WATCH THE VIDEOS!

Bamboozle Day 2
By Joelle...
We didn't dress warm enough for Day 2. And didn't eat any more pretzels after it took literally 20 mintues to move through five customers in the line the day before. But we did realize that after this, there's no need for Warped Tour. Oh wait, I lied. Funeral For A Friend are on Warped Tour this year...
Back to Bamboozle:
12:15-12:35 Phil Bensen in the Bamboozle TV studio. He shot the video for his ultra catchy tune "Bruised." Can't wait to see it. The girls love this boy. It's cute to watch. And I'm getting really addicted to the songs.
1:10-1:35 Drive By. No wait, they moved Drive By's stage and the security guard didn't know to where! So we missed them. Luckily, I met up with Chris later and we did an impromtu interview for his company, Rebirth Clothing, during Armor For Sleep's set.
1:50-2:20 The Matches. Two times in two days is not enough of these guys. And guess who we caught in the crowd?
Yep, our old buddy Sprout with his new band, A Hero From A Thousand Paces. Gotta love him.
Speaking of random meetings, we saw Mike from Senses Fail watching Saves The Day and he filled us in on what the band has been up to. Australia tours, if I recall correctly.
Then there was The Banner's Joey Southside watching his brother, Greg, on the comedy stage. Good news- The Banner is back together and Joe has a cool clothing company now.
Greg was the funniest comic of the day. And I'm not just saying that because he was the only comic I saw. Check him out at http://www.myspace.com/gregcoralluzzocomedy and thank me later.
Next sighting of the day- Doug from The Sleeping playing hackey sac with some friends. Doug is awesome.
Most random meeting- Circa Survive's Anthony Green and I tried to have a convo in the middle of a crowd stampeed. It sorta worked. No sausage sandwhich in his hand this year.
2:15-2:45 The Early November. Well, that was the plan. Instead I ended up in the Stadium spilting a cheesesteak with Jen and talking to Adam from Perfuma about his band's set that night:
Adam thanks his fans here.
I later found out that was The Early Novemeber's last show EVER. Oh well, if I really liked them still I guess I would've bought their last album, right?
3:45-4:15 Circa Survive. The big boys. With big balls. Literally. They threw out ginormous balloons to the crowd. It was great. The fans were rowdy and we had to move away from the front of the stage to avoid getting crushed. That's what shows are all about, right? Well not when you are weak girls. lol Anyway, they have a new album coming out and major labels stalking them. I predict a bright future.
Watch Circa Survive's set!
4:15-4:45 Armor For Sleep. The main stage was too insane. So we sipped on some coconut smoothies and baked on the concrete while the band played the soundtrack to our conversation.
4:45-5:15- Killswitch Engage. I wanted to watch them. But I think we were on a mission to find merch for The Matches and The Sleeping. So I simply grazed by.
5:20-5:50- The Sleeping.
They put on such an exciting live show. I didn't see any frontman interact with the crowd as much as Doug did. These videos speak for themselves. And I am still mad that I couldn't find their merch!
6:15- 6:50- Thrice. We got locked out of the TV studio when I wanted to see them. The main stage was chaos, so I watched from afar as I set up Perfuma's merch. But I'm interested in hearing what their new 4 disk concept album will be like. Sounds innovative.
The rest of the night- We FROZE waiting for Perfuma. Froze. Froze. But it was worth the wait. Perfuma are going to be rock stars. Their new songs are a leap forward and as one of The Break Contest winners, it appears people are finally realizing this. www.myspace.com/perfuma. I never miss a show.

Perfuma WIN the Break Contest
Hi hi,
Good news. Perfuma won The Break Contest and will be playing Bamboozle this year! I don't have which day confirmed yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I do. In the mean time, listen to them at www.myspace.com/perfuma. New demos are being created and they are damn catchy and fun. Here are some pictures from The Break contest yesterday!
Love,
Joelle, who manages Perfuma and lives vicariously through them, as she has no musical talent :)

New Brunswick gets a heavy friggin' dose rock n' roll (and vivacity!)
There are few bands in this world worth an hour-plus stint of hiding in a cramped, cobwebbed, minimally sanitary public restroom stall for.
(Think I'm lying? I played tic-tac-toe on the wall to keep entertained. This was the first game I've won in a while, and I think my opponent just gave me a mercy victory anyway:)
Two such bands are Perfuma,
*By Jess, who is grateful for the free Shirley Temple granted to her last night, and who is working on six hours of sleep in the last three days and therefore apologizes for a probable lack of coherence in this entry.

Two such bands are Perfuma,
who debuted their supertall new bassist, Tucker (formerly of the Pennyroyals),
and Hero Pattern, who, as usual, owned the audience (and were quite guyvacious, which is like "vivacious," only without the feminine gender bias):
While I'm on the subject of "guyvacity," I would like to say that the man exiting the women's restroom last night as I was entering not only confused the daylights out of me, but also left the seat up and didn't flush. One of the three offenses is permissible, but gimme a break, dude. I don't know who this fellow was, but if he is reading this, I hope he knows that is repulsive, rude, and subject to castration herein.
Oh yeah, I went there.
Oh yeah, I went there.
