BOTTOMLINE NEWS

12-8-09: Well here we go into a new decade. It won't be quite the celebration we had in 2000 at Fogerty's but the good news is that Bottomline is still rockin 18 years from the bands original conception. Our first gig was in a wherehouse in Clairmont on New Years Eve 1992 with a couple hundred of our friends. Back then Larry Fulton was on keyboards, Danny Popovich on drums, Tom Vacic on bass, and John "Raz" Razel was on saxaphone. Six months later Bruce would join us on keyboards and Michael on drums. Then in 1993 Steve joined the band on bass and completed what has been Bottomline for nearly 17 years. We still get together with the old bands members on occasion and are grateful to them for helping us get this band off the ground. Thanks Larry, Danny, Tom, and Raz!

5-30-09: Check out the new video page. The first video is from one of our best stage decorations for Halloween at Fogerty's before it burned down in 2004. We miss Fogerty's! We've been looking for a home like it ever since.

5-21-09: We finally finished our music demos. Check em out on the Music page. We're next working on some videos. So check back.

3-10-09: We made a video as a tribute to our fallen friend Joey Cofrencesco. You can leave comments or share memories of Joey on our new Bottomline Blog. Both links are at the top of each page. At Joey's funeral Mike and Debbie sung Arms of the Angel and Debbie sung Amazing Grace. Friends, Bob and Jude from Intrigue also sung Ordinary World. It was good to see Joey's family and friends we haven't seen in a long time. Many will be coming to our show in April at Patricks. We will have a special tribute to Joey that night.

2-19-09 - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our good friend Joey Cofrencesco. Joey died at his home in Poway on February 4th. Joey was a part time member of the band in the late 90's and early 2000's. Joey was one of the best harmonica players in San Diego and we were blessed to have been part of his life. We will miss him. Funeral services will be held Friday February 27th at Poway Bernardo Mortuary at 11am. If you were friends of Joey's we hope you will attend as we honor his life and accomplishments.

12-29-08 - We hope you had a nice Christmas and have a safe New Years Eve. Bottomline is off this year but we will be back at Patricks in Poway on January 16th so we hope you'll join us again. It was a great turn out last time we were there. It was good to see our old friends again. Check out the pictures on the picture page from our chilly night in Temecula. It was actually a really fun night as we tried to stay warm. Best wishes in 2009!
