The following
outlets have expressed interest in IDAHO but have not confirmed interviews or
reviews and are currently pending. If you have questions, please contact us.
PUNCTURE: have expressed continued interest in the band but did not attend the S.F. shows and would
not confirm an interview
or review. Fred Mills had promised to pitch a feature but has been out
of touch for
the last 2 weeks (he’s
moving).
STROBE: Expressed initial interest. They assigned Michael Kamansky
to do the interview
and Michael proved impossible to
reach. We’ve suggested that they
find a different
writer but as
yet they haven’t reassigned the
piece.
BIKINI: Expressed some
interest. They have not decided what
they’re going to do and have not responded to several invites to L.A. shows.
CREEM: the Rock-A-Rama is supposed
to run in the issue out in January.
This is per Chris Nadler and Greg Fasalino.
HYPNO: (a/k/a SIN):
would not commit to a feature/spotlight but love the band. James said he’d review the album in the
next issue and do “something
more” in the
next few months.
B-SIDE: Katherine Yeske
interviewed the band 3
months ago. Carol Schutzbank has said
she needs to
speak with Sandra Garcia re: the feature. I’ve left 2 messages for Sandy (she’s out
of town).
WAFFLE: Noel has
expressed continual interest
in an interview
with the band but has flaked both times we’ve set one up.
BOSTON
ROCK: the feature is supposed to run in the next issue.
HEY
HULLABALOO: the feature is supposed to run in the next issue.
Again, it was
a pleasure working with you and IDAHO. If you have any questions
or if we can help you in any way, feel free to contact us.
