"This street sign, and the support we've
received from so many people here in town, show once and for all that this
town is proud of Bob and what he's accomplished," said Aaron Brown, committee

Shadow
Project DVD |
MVD reports: Music Video Distributors and
Cleopatra Records are pleased to announce the home viewing release of Shadow
Project f/ Rozz Williams � And Then There Was Death for worldwide distribution
on DVD.
Shadow Project is perhaps the most prolific
of Rozz Williams' post-Christian Death era music, and it most closely resembles
the work that made him a goth icon. Incorporating punk, glam, and experimental
influences and centered around Williams and his wife Eva O., Shadow Project
was named after a peculiar effect of the nuclear detonation at Hiroshima
(some people left shadows burned into the pavement, but no bodies). This
DVD is a rare look at this enigmatic and influential band.-
