THE
INDEPENDENTS are heading out for yet another plundering
conquest of this great land of ours. Icy roads, bus crashes
and dislocated limbs be damned... NOTHING can stop the fetid
forces of Evil Presly and Willy B!
Formerly managed and produced
by the late, great JOEY RAMONE, THE INDEPENDENTS have performed
almost non-stop, touring with bands such as THE RAMONES, MISFITS,
VOODOO GLOW SKULLS, CHEAP TRICK and THE QUEERS; just to name
a few. THE INDEPENDENTS have seven releases under their belt
and are currently working on a new full length scheduled to
be released 2008.
The non-stop marathon touring
is about to start up again, so beware! THE INDEPENDENTS are
going to play the music they want, when, where, and how they
want. |

Now for some really sad news. Willy B's younger brother Stephen passed away Feb 7, 2009. Stephen was a huge part of the Independents' history. "If it wasn't for Stephen, there wouldn't be an Independents!", Evil Presly has said. "He was one of my best friends growing up and he was the one who introduced Willy B and I. We were in many bands together and Willy B and I always tried to get him to pick the drums back up and join us." Alot of you very well might have met Stephen as he did tour with the band on and off a bit selling merch and holding down the after parties with Willy and Evil. Willy B would like to thank everyone who sent emails, cards and who have called with their condolences.
Stephen will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
STEPHEN HARPER 1973 - 2009

look into the fearful future...
How far in the future? ...Far enough for this!
As most of you fiends know, we have been hard at work down in the lab at Maui
Soco Studios recording our new record.
Recording has been such a scream that we have taken the time to record the song
"Dolemite" for the upcoming Groovie Ghoulies Tribute comp on KAMIKAZE RECORDS.
We have also set up this insane Easter sale just for you!!! This sale is only
online at TheIndependents. net!
In other exciting news...Diablocast. com will be doing a special salute to us on
episode 5! So don't forget to check it out and tell old Meatwhistle we said,
DIE!!
Over the years, many of you have asked us who prints our Tshirts, Stickers,
Patches and Buttons.
Well, this is no skeleton in our closet...Willy B's Tees does and they can do
the same for you!!!
Contact Willy B at www. myspace. com/willybstees for the best quality and prices
in printing! No bones about it.

Alright Now Kiddies,
Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water. We hit you with
a long over due update letting you know the rude boys in black are still in
business. First out of the Crypt is the song " Alone " off Eternal Bond
featured in Marcus Koch's new Hit Horror Movie "100 Tears ". Check out the
Trailer at:
Next in our bag of Ghoulish Goodies is "Alive" off Eternal Bond and "Sword
of Damocles" off Back From The Grave played on the fiendish web cast Scare
Waves Episode 4 & 5. Do yourself a favor and check out the latest and
greatest horror music the good Doc is prescribing at:
We would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our black hearts who
sent in cards, e mails and well wishes after the last part of the Two Fisted
Tales of Terror Tour was canceled. Unfortunately due to that family illness we
have had to cancel the fall European and South American tours as well. While we
are off the long and winding dirt road we will be up to our red necks in
projects such as recording a split CD with the awesome band 800 Octane out of
Portland,OR and a new full length record to boot. We will also be putting
together tons of live and backstage footage for a few DVD's! Stay on the lookout
for a new and improved Web site. The Legion Of Doom (Independents) fan club is
also still in the works! Check out 800 Octane at:
Willy B will be hard at work as well with his screen printing company Willy
B's Tees. So bands, Bars anyone wanting to get T shirts, Stickers etc made give
Willy B a shout at:
In the mean time we have put up a ton of pictures on our myspace page and
will continue to keep you posted on the latest happenings.Keep an eye out for

The Independents NOV update with European Tour News!!!!!
Good Eeeevening!
We are gathered here tonight at the stroke of midnight, under the light of
the full moon to thank all you fiends who came out and supported us on our Fall
US tour. It was truly a bizarre spine-tingling time to say the least. For all
you blood thirsty Goons who wanted to purchase our new CD, "The Early Years,
Demos 1993-1997",or our ALL NEW and all terrifying sweatshirts and T shirts
etc. Don't be afraid! You can order the entire blood-curdling collection off our
site and soon on Interpunk.com. We
are also going to be adding a heart-stopping Christmas Grab bag to our web site
come the first of DEC so look out!
For those who missed us this fall, STOP spending sleepless nights waiting
for the spring tour. There will be no time for us to climb back in our coffins
and rest our bones for we will be doing a few select warm up shows around the
south in January before heading back over to Europe. Yep, you heard me right.
The Independents " Make Mine A Double" European tour will begin February 2007!
Check out the myspace page Mad booking has set up just for the tour and spread
the word. www.myspace.com/madpresents !Beware
Europe...The rude boys in black are coming! |
