The Bombs were working on their debut full length cd, but one by one the band sort of fell by the wayside to more pressing grown-up concerns and musical priorities. Which naturally left Jeff Hart all by himself with a pink paisley guitar (being the one with no priorities nor adult concerns on the horizon). Tom reports he'll continue to write and record. Mike has Stratocruiser and Sparklefest as ongoing projects. Eddie has returned to graduate school.
The guitar pop will live on, but rather than going out under the name "Frosted Sugar Boy" on street corners with karaoke tapes of FSB demos, Jeff has plans to still play some of the FSB tunes that he wrote plus news ones with bassist FJ Ventre and drummer Jim McPhail. Plus some additional pop geniuses to be named later. The new band moniker will be announced on "The Daily Show" and "Game Night" on ESPN when we know it.
In memoriam here are the remains of the 5 finished tunes, all originals by Tom and Jeff. Thanks to Charlie Berry for hosting this.
