Etan posted this to 7Seas on the 5th:
There's also this blurb from pitchforkmedia.com (all good news, I'd say):
<<
In a conversation with Spin Online, Eli Janney and Alexis Fleisig of Girls
Against Boys revealed some interesting facts related to the band's possible
future projects. First and foremost, the guys have recorded roughly 20 demo
songs-- some with producer Ted Niceley-- and hope to have a record out by
the end of the year. However, they don't yet have a title, concrete
recording plans, or even a label; apparently, their motivation to get out of
bed was only recently acquired.
We kid, of course. The members of GVSB have actually been quite busy since
the release of 1998's Freak*on*ica, involved in such endeavors as side
project New Wet Kojak, scoring the movie Series 7, making music for
Playstation 2 games, and screaming sexily at whoever, or whatever, is close
at hand. Maybe they did that to some exec at Interscope; they were just
released from their contract with the major. Good for them.

I just recieved a press release about what's going on with the new album. Here's hoping a record company steps up soon. Who in their right mind wouldn't? ; )
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GIRLS AGAINST BOYS CONTRACT WITH GEFFEN RECORDS
TERMINATED BY MUTUAL
AGREEMENT.
ROCK GROUP CITES FEELINGS OF "ELATION"; BAND MEMBERS
SEEN SKIPPING
NAKED
THROUGH CENTRAL PARK, NYC.
Girls Against Boys (GVSB) released their first full-length album,
"Tropic of Scorpio," on Adult Swim Records in 1992. Their next three
albums "Venus Luxure No.1 Baby," "Cruise Yourself," and "House of GVSB" were
brought public by Touch and Go Records in the mid-'90s. Their fifth album,
"FREAK*ON*ICA," released in 1998, was their first and last for Geffen Records.
GVSB
recently scored the film "Series 7"; the soundtrack will soon be available on
Koch Records. The band also contributed music to the forthcoming movie,
"Hedwig and the Angry Inch." GVSB have many new songs, and will soon record
their next album. They do not yet have a new label, and have been too busy
drinking champagne to think coherently about it.

GVSB will grant a limited number of interview requests. For more information,
contact Johanna Ingalls at GVSBHQ@aol.com

To make up a bit for not updating the site in a month or so, I've posted 3 live mp3s. I don't have any more of their live stuff, so if any one has anything other than this & would like to contribute, let me know. Also, the great and famous Etan and I have joined forces yet again on posting another mp3. More to come as I get the OK from higher powers.
March 25
Oh man, it's been a long time. I don't think a whole lot has happened since the last update though. NWK has some new tour dates in Europe. Series 7 is getting some good reviews and the soundtrack comes out April 24. I don't think there is any new info on the new album. I've also got some live mp3s that hopefully everyone will be able to get the first time they try to download it. Who knows, it may be my own computer. If anyone has anything to add, email me and it'll be up here with your name on it.

This was taken from a post from whiggedout@__.__ on 7seas a while ago regarding Series 7: The Contenders. Sorry, it's late and I've got way too much other stuff to do. :)

Not really news, but Yahoo bought out egroups a while ago, which means 7seas has moved yet again. I'll be changing the links over sporadically. The old ones still work, they just redirect you to the Yahoo Groups site. Also, the Opinion button takes you straight to the forums now.
February 10
New mp3! It's called "Volume Kills" and is off the Terror Firmer soundtrack. Thanks to Eric for sending it to me.
February 7
Mp3s are back up? I guess stas.net did some upgrading and forgot to tell everyone. Hopefully it won't happen again. I'm playing with the idea of buying some space and a domain to put the movies and eventually the site on after Iowa State kicks me out.
January 29
Mp3s are down. Stas.net is where I'm storing them and I can't access their site. Sorry for the inconvenience! If you're really dying for the mp3s, email me at jivin_han@yahoo.com.
January 23
Slightly updated the discography.
January 20
Okay, I just checked www.gvsb.com and FINALLY the tour dates match up. White Hassle is playing with them on a few shows. Way to go Pollstar for not keeping up to date. : )
January 18
Another new tour date in Portland for $8. Great deal there. Thanks to Matthew for relaying this to me.
January 11
Looks like that attempt at a fix sucked. I changed it back. If it still takes you to a "Page not found" page, right click on the page and click refresh.
January 10
New mp3s with a work around to that info page. There is now a referrer URL, http://go.to/bughouse to shorten the address up a bit. Use either one to access the site.
January 3, 2001
Slight change in tour dates. Pollstar says one thing, but The Official Site says another thing. I'm going with the band's site on this one.
December 20
More new tour dates, east and west coast mainly.
December 7
Three new concert dates on the east coast. Check out the tour page for details.

Some great news from Alexis (thanks Etan):
"As for us, well we've got some good news: you are right, we've got about
14 songs recorded and are slowly negotiating with Interscope to get it
released. We are recording 6 or 7 new songs next Sunday with Ted Niceley-these
songs are even stronger than the previous 14 I think so when all is said
and done we should have 20 songs ready for an album. We can either go the
lucrative Use Your Illusion route (which I doubt would be especially lucrative)
or we can release a great 11 or 12 song record. This is a position we've
always wanted to be in-to go into a studio and pick the best of the lot and come
out with a really strong album and so here we are finally in that position.
Not bad. And we are really excited about working with Ted again. We are
also trying to put together some shows in December or January, with a
possible tour in January to get things oiled up a little bit. On top of that
we've done the music for this movie called Series 7: the Contenders that
looks pretty great-It is supposed to come out in January."

Bughouse moved and was taken over by me, Mike. As you can see, the news section isn't anywhere near up to date. It will be in a while.
