Robby left us May 26, 2010 due to complications from leukemia, which he had been battling for a year. Please visit the Robby Settles obituary page at: http://www.betsybitch.com/robby_settles_obituary.htm El Borracho: I would love to hear your cover of "Be My Slave". I'm really happy about the garage and punk interest in Bitch and think it's well-deserved. You can contact me through the site. Curt: I looked at the "Demolish" webzine site, and it's not deceptive at all; it's actually quite good! It looks like you are indeed writing in the style of an 80's metal fanzine and "melding the past and present together" as I suggested. Love the Warlock interview and the piece on metal riffs. Keep up the great work, brother! And one more thing: just started an unofficial Facebook fanpage for RIOT. It's called "RIOT featuring Mark Reale (Metal Band)".

Publishing my fanzine online for people to read. You know, just like if you would pick up an old magazine and read it now. Obviously, you can pick up a "physical" magazine and you can also re-read one that someone has scanned for online use. Maybe if you actually visited my site you would understand what I am all about. or not... I am not sure what your beef is with me or what I am doing either way, it doesn't really matter. good luck with the site.

Haha. For instance, there was no internet in the 80s. That's "how it was". You might wanna publish your own little 80s xerox fanzine, how about that? “Just like it was.” Haha.

The myspace page is an official site, done by the guitarist Ermanno. He is a friendly guy, and although we have discussed my label doing an LP of the tapes I'm yet to hear the first demo as it was not really distributed but more of a promo recording that wasn't circulated. You should try him though. The photographs of them are amazing. Hi Geoff, in regards to your post about the Wops tapes and the myspace.
