UPDATES/LINKS. PREY FOR ROCK AND ROLL.

Gina Gershon released a DVD of the tour she went on called Rocked With Gina Gershon in 2004.

Cheri Lovedog made a documentary short, Hollywood Trash and Tinsel about the making of the movie that won Best Documentary Directorial Debut at the New York International Film and Video Festival in 2004 (the same year the documentary was released, I've been unable to find out if it was released on DVD or is available to download/watch online anywhere).

The original theatrical recording for Prey For Rock and Roll is now available on CD from CD Baby and I think it's also available as a MP3 download from the likes of Amazon.

Cheri wrote and directed another movie called The Jesus Factor which was released in 2009.   The film also featured original songs/score by Inger Lorre.

Cheri is also the co-owner of Lovedog Tattoo Studio with her partner, Robin Prey.

UPDATES/LINKS. THEE MERRY WIDOWS.

The current line-up of the band is Miss Eva Von Slut (also sings with The White Barons), Nikki Nightbreed, Andrea, Mistress Mandy, Jenna Ferocious and Nishone (also plays with The Vaudevilles).

Since I reviewed their EP in PussyRock, the band have been busy touring the US and have been featured on several compilations as well as releasing a split 7" vinyl with The Grit.   They've also released 2 albums, Revenge Served Cold and The Devil's Outlaws.
As far as I'm aware, Eva is still doing occasional burlesque performances and she also appears in a documentary about Marian Anderson, the late lead singer of The Insaints.

Most of the original Fuzzbox records are out of print but still available second hand through the original channels.  You can also still get their Greatest Hits CD/DVD compilation

Vix joined Ginger of the Wildhearts in his band, Ginger and the Sonic Circus for some live dates.  She also released a solo album, LovePower and Peace in 2008.  She had formed a new band Vix N' the Kix who were starting to play live/get reviews but Vix ended the project when Fuzzbox reformed. She also recorded an EP called Seduction Songs + released a single in 2014 with The Offering called 'Believe Me'.
In 2011 Vix formed a New Americana/country music project which became known as ViX & her MsChiefs

Fuzzbox reformed in 2010 (minus Tina and with 2 new members, Sarah Firebrand on bass and Karen Milne on drums).  They did some live dates and released a cover of M's 'Pop Muzik'. Sadly Jo Dunne died in 2012. Recently Fuzzbox have confirmed they are planning a 2nd reunion.

UPDATES/LINKS. GENE SERENE

Gene Serene has released several more singles - most of them were limited edition CDs/download only but you can still purchse the MP3s or listen to them at the usual sites.   The ones I could find were:  Black Rose, 48 Crash (with Punx Soundcheck), All Over You/Freefall, Electric Dreams, Seven Dials/Wicked, Beatquest (Matt Catt Vs. Gene Serene) and Pedal to the Metal (with T. Raumschmiere).   She's released another album called The Polaris Experience.

UPDATES/LINKS. LIVING WITH EATING DISORDERS.

Before Living With Eating Disorders changed their name to Colt they released several demo CDs and an EP White Like Snow (produced by John Fryer, on Something to Listen To).

They were also involved in a multi-media gallery event called Parliament of Monsters where several artists/directors made videos for LWED songs.

UPDATES/LINKS. TIMES SQUARE

Times Square was released as a Region 1 DVD (and I think it was also released as a Spanish-only release as a Region 2 DVD) but it's still really hard to get hold of.  The soundtrack album is now out of print although you can sometimes get hold of second hand vinyl copies.   Clips from the film are usually up on YouTube though.

The Robin Johnson fansite has quite a lot of information/pictures from the film here.
 and Feminist Music Geek has an excellent article on the film here (which includes a more indepth look at the racial/sexual politics of the movie).

EDITED TO ADD: Shelly sent me the link to this brilliant blog which is dedicated to the movie Times Square http://defeatedandgifted.wordpress.com/ - loads to read plus some great photos/clips from the movie.

UPDATES/LINKS. STRAWBERRY SWITCHBLADE

Jill did some demos and played a couple of gigs in the immediate period after Strawberry Switchblade split up but she's never officially released anything.   She now does painting/sculpting and work on stained glass panels.  I think she's still married to Julian Cope's bassist, Frog and has 1 daughter.

Rose was guest vocalist with bands like Current 93, Coil, Death in June, Psychic TV and more.  In 1993 she collaborated with Boyd Rice under the name Spell, releasing 2 singles and an album.
She also formed a band called Sorrow with her then husband Robert Lee (he left in 2002 and they're now divorced).  They released 2 albums/1 EP and toured Europe/US.  Rose now performs under her own name.
I think she has 2 children.

The band split in 1986.   They released one self titled album (also available on Japanese import with some extra tracks) and there's also a compilation CD available which contains most of their songs.

EDITED TO ADD: In an interview with Classic Pop magazine in 2015 Rose said she was hoping to re-release some of her old albums, complete with extra tracks.

EDITED TO ADD: She is also due to release another solo album in 2015, The Price of The Ticket.
