Well, hopefully you all got through tax time ok, and if you didn't get your pinkslip, your next chance is in DETROIT this weekend at the Motor City Music Conference. The Pinkslips are among 400 bands selected from 2,000 to showcase at the MC2. Their showcase is Friday night at The Bellmont. In other news, The 'Slips just wrapped up a very successful east coast- thanks to all who came out- check out the press section for updates! The Pinkslips' debut on national television on Fox's Ambush Makeover where Leigh get's her hair ruined by dying it a very strange color (must see to find out!!!) will air MAY 27. Check local listings for times. Also, some of the Pinkslips songs are being used in an online interactive mystery/adventure reality game that is part of an Audi ad campaign.
