LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Music by CHRONIC AGGRESSION “Kiki”
EVERYTHING changes…with fall fast approaching, summer breezes will give way to autumn leaves adjusting their colors.
Amongst the ION staff, we can FEEL those “winds of change”—just in a different way. And with a busy magazine like ION,
“change” equals “growth”; as we strive each and every month to increase our presence, improve—and adjust accordingly.
There is much happening behind the scenes with this publication!
“Congratulations” go out to our own MARK URICHECK on his nomination for “Journalist of the Year” with the STEAMTOWN
MUSIC AWARDS. Mark will also be a presenter for this prestigious event. Your ION family is proud, Mark!
Our featured artist for September is courtesy of Photojournalist MARK MYERS—RED SKY MARY! Mark is responsible for the
eye-catching cover photo—along with the riveting story. Having just opened for LYNYRD SKYNYRD, this Rock band is really
making a name for itself. Learn all about RED SKY MARY in this sizzling September Issue!
We have a few recognizable names in these pages. There is a somewhat familiar band that goes by the name of VAN HALEN
(MARK MYERS)—along with some chick named PAT BENATAR (TIMOTHY SCHUMANN) and an “up and coming” band known
as INCUBUS (LISA SASSERATH BOEHM). Just wanted to see if you were paying attention…
This fairy has the distinct pleasure of landing at our affiliate THE FYRE AND ICE SHOW, now on NEUE REGEL RADIO--which is
another of our valued promotional partners! TRACIE LOVETT and AMY DANNER were so warm and welcoming as they presented
the “ION Indie Magazine Anniversary Round-up Show” to their listening audience. DJs NINJA and PITBULL spun music by the
artists that appeared on our cover during our first year, and I shared some of the “little known facts” about these multidimensional artists. Thanks, ladies!
Also, a big shout of gratitude to the Ohio-based Metal band CHRONIC AGGRESSION for providing the song “Kiki”—that
debuted on the show. You can hear it streaming during this Editor’s letter…pretty sick, huh? Learn more about this talented
group and by all means, please take a moment to show them some love: www.facebook.com/chronicaggression1
As always, we appreciate our readers for supporting this publication--and this Editor would also like to acknowledge that--in
her eyes--the staff of ION rocks as hard as the artists in these pages!
