Kittie
At 15 years old, Bowman would help form Kittie with classmate Mercedes Lander and Lander's sister, Morgan. Fallon played guitar with Kittie and released two albums (Spit and the Paperdoll EP) until her departure in 2001.
Amphibious Assault
While on a plane from Ontario to New Jersey, a 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 would go 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 would make 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 bassist 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 but it appears there will be some time before the album is actually released. In February of 2006, Bowman announced that she was applying for studies abroad which will cause Amphibious Assault to remain inactive.
