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.
