[edit] Kittie
At 15 years old, Bowman helped to form Kittie with classmate Mercedes Lander and Lander's sister, Morgan. She played guitar and did background vocals on Kittie album Spit and the Paperdoll EP. She parted from Kittie in August 2001 due to arguments between her and the rest of the band. She recently made up with Morgan and Mercedes Lander.
[edit] Amphibious Assault
While on a plane from Ontario to New Jersey, 17-year-old Bowman was skimming through a Tom Clancy novel when she came upon the term amphibious assault. Bowman thought this would be a great name for an industrial band.
Bowman went on to record several tracks with Pigface for the band's 2003 album, Easy Listening. Her enjoyment of the recording experience led her to begin writing music again. She purchased a sequencer and began exploring the industrial band genre that she admired but had never actively pursued. In the months that followed, Bowman's basement filled with drum machines and synthesizers. From her basement, she crafted the songs that made up Amphibious Assault's debut album, District Six, released on the Social Unrest label. Bowman's former Kittie bandmate, bassist Talena Atfield, has also contributed to Amphibious Assault as has guitarist Pete Henderson.
Amphibious Assault's second album has been completed and was originally scheduled for a June, and then August, 2005 release but has been delayed, largely due to Bowman's school schedule. Her scheduled live shows with Pigface for their 2005 tour were also affected by the schedule. She occasionally updates her fans through her blog on the Amphibious Assault website. On November 1st, 2006, Fallon updated the Amphibious Assault webpage stating that she hopes to release the second album in December of 2006, and that "It will most likely be the last release from this project".
