Ok, I'll start off from old to new. First of all, Pat Smear officially left the band on Sept. 4 at the MTV Music Video Awards. No big suprise there. He was replaced by former SCREAM guitarist Franz Stahl. No suprise there either.

The new Foo formation has agreed to a number of good deals that took place a little closer to now. They signed a contract that will put 1 or more of their songs onto the new X-FILES soundtrack. A must buy!

Also, they have been chosen for frontstage performances at Edgefest 98 in Canada. They will play alongside such bands as The Tea Party, Green Day, etc. That's all I can really tell you right now. Sorry.
