We here at Spent Potential would like to announce that we will be going on what is referred to as an indefinite hiatus. This Saturday's show will be our last for a while, possibly forever.

A, M, J & AThere's a lot of talk in the last few years about image and "cred." Street cred, punk cred, etc. I've seen that old-school video where Cedric from ATDI doesn't want you doing "that karate-kickin' shit" at their show. I watched the woodstock '99 riots. I was in the pit at a System show, and stood back to avoid the circle at the Thursday show at 930. Fuck your cred, fuck your image and fuck you. This is true outsider music. This is music forged from raw talent to a fine steel with which to stab at the heart of the divide-and-conquer conglomerate culture. This music transcends genre...it transcends image...and it dares you to ditch whatever flock you've been following in the vain hope of finding yourself. This is the "skull and bones" of rock...the elite secret society of the anti-hero. The band with no name come to take the town by force and leave the perpetrators' corpses at the city limits.
