Motherbox Records 1992 - 2001 ... Back in 2007

About Me

Motherbox Records began in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was started by a quartet, a vegan sxe friendly band by the name Spirit Assembly. Spirit Assembly was an emo-ish band with a good following from New Holland/Denver PA - and at the time of this release I was living with a few of them over a garage. They released a record - their own - a 7" called "Fruit of Hate". Besides being their roommate I was the music director at the local area college (Millerville University - WIXQ).

A few months later due to my being one of the few roommates who had a job - I was invited to help with another release ... at the point of Motherbox release #2 - Larry Martin and myself were the financier/planners and all that. Life was good and fun back then - and that second record had mostly good songs. Then I graduated ... Larry and I went to England where we sort of had a falling out - I got sick of vegetarian lasagna and started eating meat. I drank with a group of Brit and Aussie punks ... and by the end of the trip our relationship was somewhat strained. The third Motherbox release had already been slated and so it was released - and the partnership ended.

I guess I will do a series of Blogs on the various releases and what not so check back for them.
