Each and every month, we will bring you compelling articles covering special interest topics. We also
will include innovative and entertaining columns and features to both inform and provoke thought.
There are also the candid interviews and fantastic photography by our gifted photojournalists covering
live music across the country. And, of course, where would we be without all the fabulously talented
artists themselves that, without them, well, what in the world we write about?
Our cover story for the month of June is features the very talented
UNDERCOVER BETTY. Journalist J.B. BRIDGES brings this allfemale Rock group (REBECCA FIELD, KARA LEIMBACH and
CONNIE BONDS) to life in the pages of ION Indie Magazine with a
compelling interview with these amazing ladies. Check out
Undercover Betty’s music and you’ll learn why they garnered “top
honors” from ION Indie this month!
I am also stoked to announce the first band to be featured by The
Fairy Rock Mother, AMERICAN ZER0S! I sat down with this epic
band and learned the “411” on their journey and how they are
“fighting the good fight”. My Editor’s photo has me modelling the
American Zer0s patch that now adorns my jean jacket. In my
interview with American Zer0s, CITI ZENX shares with the readers of ION, his use of “placements” in
getting their music heard (and PAID for, in the process).
In this “first flight” issue, please note the broadcasters that have joined forces with us and tune in and
join their listening audiences! These fine folks all support Indie artists and our vision. A big shout of
gratitude goes out to each and every one of them! A special mention goes to MICHAEL PRESTI of NEUE
REGEL RADIO for his dynamic cover design for this inaugural issue and to our new Art Director JAY
PETSKO, owner of SOFT EDGE DESIGNZ, for the ION Indie Magazine awesomely artful logo!
ION Indie Magazine also wishes to thank everyone everywhere who supports local music…worldwide!

“Music isn’t what I do, it’s who I am. Music is a life force that beats within.
It permeates the senses and dwells within the spirit. Music transcends. It
heals the heart, purges the soul and provides refuge from pain. Music is
immortal.” ~The Fairy Rock Mother
