Hey dipshit Drink Faggot................. If it wasn't for CANDY STRIPER that club in Salisbury wouldn't have done anything!! When it first opened as Sneakers in 1989..... I was the guy that had them start bringing in bands. At that time, they only wanted to do dance and hip hop!! Frank Mederas ran the club and had me book most of the unsigned acts into the club. I set up bands like TEMPORARY INSANITY, ATOMICAUST, MELIAH RAGE, WARGASM, SUBJUGATOR, DISRUPT, YOUTH WITH BATS, CARDINAL SIN and all my RI. connections TIPPER GORE, RITUAL SACRIFICE, PHLEGM and many others. We built up a scene!! Around that time we were bringing in 300 people headling.

When Colin Barns took over the club (turned it into the Escape Club) he tried to keep us to himself. He was starting up a record label and trying to manage us without us saying yes or no. It was because, we brought in lots of people!! I hooked him up with the Don Law Agency and Merritt Moraski to book in the nationals. Colin would always give us first pick over everybody 'cause he know we would sell 100 to 200 tickets and get fliers out all over the place (He didn't want to spend money on radio advertising or newspapers. But, he did a monthly mailing list from the club.). Most bands back then and today can't even sell 30 tickets!!!!! He knew if we were doing the show.... everything will be fine.

Why do you think the BOMBSHELTER isn't doing that great...... 'Cause, the bands aren't selling their tickets!! Not counting the CANNIBAL CORPSE show, the biggest show we did at the Bombshelter was co-headling with Joey Belladonna 250 people. But when Joey came on, more than half the crowd left. The same thing happened at M.O.D. almost 4 weeks ago. People left when JACKNIFE hit the stage. At the CANNIBAL CORPSE show most of the people left half way through THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. What the fuck kind of metal scene is this? People stayed for every band years ago!! Most bands today leave when they get off stage.........

At JARROD's, the two times Jarrod did radio advertising on WAAF was with us and OVER KILL headlining...... None of the other bands were mentioned. The first time it sold out!! Over 800 people crammed into Jarrod's!! Go ahead and ask him!! Oh yeah, most of you don't care for him and his club. We haven't done a headling show there yet. We will after the cd comes out. I just got off the phone with Ben from Screaming Ferret yesterday...... He said that he's going to finally mix and master our stuff!! When you got just two guys running a label and a recording studio.... It takes a while to get shit done.
