   About Non-Fiction
Non-Fiction started off as Dan Lorenzo, Mike Cristi, Damon Trotta on bass and Dan Nastasi on vocals. The "Green ep" came out in 1990 on the short lived Arena Records. Eventually Alan Tecchio moved back from Austin to replace Nastasi on vocals,Kevin Bolembach joined on bass. Non-Fiction signed with Grand Slamm, released the cd "Preface"...it went to 1 on WSOU. The band toured from Rhode Island to Texas. They then recorded "In The Know" for Grand Slamm/IRS records. The $17,000 video for the song "Reason To Live" received a few spins on MTV, the cd again made it to 1 on WSOU. Non-Fiction headlined dozens of shows then toured as openers for Overkill in America from March 31st 1993 until the first week in May. Non-Fiction then left for Europe-this time as openers for both Overkill and Savatage from mid May until mid-June 1993. The last official cd was "It's A Wonderful Lie".

NON-FICTION GUITARIST SPEAKS ABOUT REUNION SHOW


NON-FICTION/HADES Guitarist Dan Lorenzo recently spoke with Jersey Beat founder Jim Testa. Below is part of the interview:

Q: What inspired the Non-Fiction reunion, and how much practice will it take for you guys to get back up to speed?

Dan: The drummer Mike and I always flirted with the idea. We had a band with (Overkill vocalist) Bobby Blitz called THE CURSED (http://www.the-cursed.net) that sounded pretty much like NON-FICTION. I think whenever we wanted to we'd put out feelers to our old bassist Kevin. The timing was never right though. I play basketball outside whenever it's nice out. Basketball is murder on my fingers because they're always getting jammed. I was playing guitar the other night and it hurt. We'll only practice a few times. NON-FICTION was always fun to play live with because we'd only rehearse new songs so that always kept it fresh live.

Q: What’s your take on the current state of the music business? Aspiring to a major label deal today seems almost pointless. And yet obviously not every local band is in the position of a Radiohead or Nine Inch Nails tojust give away their music online – you still have to pay for guitar strings and put gas in the van. Can a metal band hope to sell enough CD’s in today’s digital world to be self-sustaining?

Dan: One in a million can. Good odds, huh, Jim? Honestly you just have to play music for fun. When we get back together on Saturday November 7th at Dingbatz in Clifton, it's going to be fun. I always stopped my bands when it stopped being fun. There are other ways to make money.

You can buy tickets now at http://www.dingbatznj.com under "Events" for the Non-Ficton reunion show on Sat. Nov 7th.
NON-FICTION REUNION SHOW PLANNED
NJ's Non-Fiction who released 3 full lengths and an ep from 1990-1994 have scheduled a one night reunion show Saturday November 7th at Dingbatz in Clifton NJ. Vocalist Alan Tecchio, guitarist Dan Lorenzo, drummer Mike Cristi and bassist Kevin Bolembach will perform songs from their 3 cds Preface, In The Know, and It's A Wonderful Lie.
Non-Fiction formed after Hades broke up in 1989. Lorenzo originally hooked up with vocalist/guitarist Dan Nastasi from Mucky Pup before Tecchio moved back to Jersey from Texas and his stint with Watchtower. Around that time, Nastasi formed Dog Eat Dog. Non-Fiction added Bolembach (drummer Cristi was already in place)and performed shows locally including CBGB's. This footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTNKrNAr9s0 from CBGB's was from the show that Non-Fiction got signed by Grand Slamm/IRS.
NON-FICTION released 2 cds rather quickly, shot to #1 on WSOU for months at a time and started touring. In 1993 Non-Fiction opened an American tour with Overkill, then flew to Europe as openers for both Overkill and Savatage. Their video for the song "Reason To Live" was featured on MTV's Headbangers Ball and can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbsEm4ooa3k

HADES who released the classics "Resisting Success and "If at First You Don't Succeed" back in the 80s (before disbanding and getting back together in 1999 to release three cds in three years for Metal Blade Records) have posted their first live footage seen here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3qeemG1l0Q The songs featured are "The Leaders?" and "Resist Success" were performed at the China Club in Hillsdale NJ in 1987 shortly after guitarist Ed Fuhrman replaced Scott LePage. A cover of Judas Priest's "Solar Angels" can also be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g19NxHR3SYA

Cruz Del Sur Records released HADES only DVD "Bootlegged in Boston 1988" last year in Europe and this year in America.
HADES members Alan Tecchio, Dan Lorenzo, Jimmy Schulman, Ed Fuhrman and Ron Lipnicki will reunite and perform at the Keep It True Festival in Germany in April of 2010. The band will also most likely perform a show in NJ or NYC the night before leaving for Europe.
