KMFDM at FashioNation During the Symbols tour- Sascha, Tim Sköld & En Esch with our crew, Jef (RIP), Michael & Doug. 10 eyes 14 eyes & steel toes... when they left they were all wearing our Dr. Marten & Gripfast boots
Ogre's his first time in! Â he was on tour as a member of KMFDMÂ during the Symbols tour
Dig it! Â so gracious, he was happy just to hang with us for a few hours - here with store kid Jef ( R.I.P. ) it was Jef's favorite day at the shop.
In the immortal words of Nivek Ogre, "my place is in the ground - i am dead..."  this was the first time he signed our Wall of Fame
Our first time meeting Nivek Ogre from Skinny Puppy.  During the Symbols tour as a member of KMFDM, the band showed up to FashioNation for some Dr. Marten and Gripfast boots. Ogre stayed an hour after the rest of the band left.  We were shocked how nice he was considering how wild his music is.  We've been in contact with him most every time he's been back to Denver.   (store kids, Eli Lisa Doug Michael & Jef - R.I.P. in the photo)
We wanted to hook him up with a pair of boots.  He said 'just pick me out something cool'.  We choose for him a wild pair of Gripfast 10 eye steel toes in flame rub/off with little devil heads embossed into the leather.  He was good with that.... ( more on this in a later post)
- Lords of Acid - November, 1997 this was our first experience with an in store CD signing, having a band come in on a promotional visit. They were out on tour promoting their 'Our Little Secret' CDÂ Â We had a line out the door and had a great time.Â
 The Lords of Acid came with Jade 4U ( a.k.a. Darling Nikkie ) and her husband, they had just recently married and were sporting freshly tattooed 'rings' on their fingers ( a bold move back then ) the band stocked up on Dr. Martens   Â

Pam ( owner of FashioNation ) & Nikkie (aka Jade 4U) hit it off well!  Nikkie loved Pam's style and bought the exact Lip Service outfit she had on.  Pam gave her a deal on it with the 1 exception that she couldn't wear it on stage for the Denver show - cuz Pam was going to rock it that night!
