Your still here?
Wondering what happened to fbk peeps?
Krista and Joe are hookin up the Akron
hiphop
Jack Randall lives in sunny San Diego and still does music
Alison is a pro swing dancer and also lives in San Diego
Dave Braun creates visual art and plays drums in Akron
Dave Sterle still plays a badass bass in the Akron area
Ed Van der Kuil moved back to Holland with wife Tracy
Brett Lashua is working on his doctorate in Vancouver
The fbk site has remained online for several years now though the project
hasn't released material or played live. Its such a pretty site though,
and it would be pointless to take it down. Designer, Teresa Kiplinger
created this back in 96 or so. It was the shit back then. See what shes
onto now.
If you live in the Akron/Cleveland area and are still itching to see cool
shit live, keep your eyes peeled for two acts called Low
in the sky and Honeypot, composed
of Krista and Joe from FBK and Pat, the drummer from Poets of Another
Breed. We lay down the groove like nobody's buisness and fans and critics
alike are turning heads.
Our sample archive is still fairly popular. If you are a sampling musician,
check out some great free sounds here.
We also have a new library of free loops created by Joe
and Dave Graves at patternbased.com

Check out a remix
of Sleepy Venus by drum&bass artist, Platelet. Hear the rest
of Platelets stuff at mp3.com
If you live in the Cleveland area and are still itching to see FBK live,
its probably not going to happen for a long time. Instead, keep your eyes
peeled for a new act called Racermason,
whos debut album was produced and co-written by Joe from FBK while he
was a member of the act. This award
winning CD can be purchased here.
Show details will be on their web site.
Our sample archive has had over 100,000 hits. If you are a sampling
musician, check out some great free sounds here.

Response to our music on mp3.com
has been tremendous. Sleepy Venus is currently the number one song in
our region out of thousands of songs and our mp3.com CD, Tel Aviv, is
selling extremely well.
Zero Day can now be bought from local area record stores in addition
to the web.
We have begun work on our next release and are very happy with
the new sounds we are hearing. We are still undecided as to how many
songs its going to be but so tuned for more info regarding that and
some other interesting happenings in the FBK world.

Yes, as a matter of fact, we did dissapear off the face
of the planet but after our short trip across the galaxy, we are back and are completing
our first full length CD entitled 'Zero Day'. We are pretty stoked for the release. We are
going to be concentrating on studio techniques and working towards futher releases so
chances are you will not see us playing out in the near future unless maybe you ask real
nice. Look for a handful of new mp3s and some real audio material to show up soon as well
as new sounds in the sample archive.

For those of you who might be wondering what happened to FBK at the Grog Shop on
February 19th...GLU decided the club was too small and kicked us off of the bill. If you
were one of the people who paid to see us, we apologize -- we were just as dissapointed as
you. Don't worry, we should have a steady stream of shows
coming up this spring.
