The Bravo episode of "Musicians" was taped live with a studio audience in Manhattan on Friday, November 16th, 2001. Debbie, Chris, and Paul performed five songs and answered questions before the live audience, which included some fast-acting members of the DHBIS mailing list who attended on very short notice. The episode is scheduled to air in February, 2002. Check out Bravo's site for more details.

Paul Carbonara emailed with this news: "I just got back from a rehearsal with Chris and Debbie - they are doing an interview show for Bravo, the cable tv channel. The three of us are going to do some stripped down versions of three or four tunes. It will tape at Sony Studios and should air some time in February. The format is supposed to be something like 'Inside the Actors Studio'. It looks like we're starting to get rolling again. This band has a tendency to suddenly leap into action - I think we'll be leaping soon."
