Notice to bands, if you are inquiring about booking, please email me at the above address, do not message me on myspace. I can keep a backlog of emails a lot longer than I can on myspace, and i don't want to lose track of you. Include as much detailed information about your band as possible please. Also, I cannot listen to your music on myspace or any other streaming source, my pc is a pain in the rear end, sorry.

If you come across a skess2 or a monkeyrockpro online, there is a very good chance those are me as well.
I am more than willing to help promote existing shows or venues depending on circumstances. Contact me to discuss it.

I did a stint of about a year and a half booking for the PIT skate park in Rockford, IL. I don't even recall how long co-booking at the Lion's Den on the Rockford College campus before that. And have done random shows at Acme Records, Minglewood, Rev'd Up, Klub Phenomenon and more.
Influences: Mike Park. The guy is what inspired me to DIY.
Bruce Campbell. Sticking with it and being happy doing it.
Sounds Like: This is not including the bands I have worked/are friends with(those are below). Cursive, Murder By Death, The Decemberists, Rilo Kiley, the Lawrence Arms, The Broadways, The Falcon Tuesday and all Dan Adriano projects, Johnny Cash, Ska all kinds of ska, Bob Marley, Roger Clyne and the peacemakers/the Refreshments . A little bit of everything. So many I can't think of them all and feel bad for it.
