HOLE IN THE PLOT PRODUCTIONS
...is a FAKE production company. I guess the only thing that keeps us from being a real company is a tax ID of some sort. That, and I guess real businesses turn actual profits. (We don't make any "real" money doing this). But we do create shows w/ local music venues around Chicagoland. Dave creates websites for local bands and businesses. I do street level promotion for our bands and for a national music promotions company (PMD, NY). Another good friend of mine, Chris Gardner , records our bands here at home. Soulvasq, Gwen Mitchell Experiment and Ideamen are all currently recording here at our place.
In the past, we've hosted open mics. We've made T-shirts... right out of our own oven! We're not in the open mic or T-shirt biz right now. But most of all, we just like to hang out, make music and dream up stuff we can do for our friends and our bands. We also book and promote shows w/ some wonderful tribute bands - as well as original artists!

Gwen Mitchell Experiment
New GMX songs are up on Myspace! "Athena", "Persephone" & "Motor" are just 3 of the new songs that have been completed & are slated to appear on our new album for 2007. Go check em out!
GMX has been enjoying a postive response from our newest EP, which was recorded live in Colon, MI (of all places) during New Years into 2006. The 4 song disc has been distributed throughout the Midwest via our live shows. People are grabing these disc's like hotcakes, I must say. Also, since the April 2006 release, the songs have tracked around 5000 or so plays on here on My Space!
Yank! Our 2006 recordings have been replaced by 3 of our new tunes!
GMX is currently in the process of finishing a new full length album w/ the bands newest member, Emily Albright, who's a multi talented, creative type. Also, we HAVE RECORDED and are finishing up a new LIVE EP for distribution at around the same time of our full length release. Cross your fingers, it's almost done. Hey, GMX is hitting the road again! Look out Cleveland!!!

Ideamen
if you haven't heard by now, we (me, Dave Solar and Phil Goodrich) have formed yet another completely new band. This one includes our long time friend, guitar virtuoso, and enngineer, Jeff Piekarczyk! FUCK yeah, Jeff! Ideamen is spearheaded by Tim Swanson of "Duct Tape Mustache" and now "Dog Fashion Disco". Geez, how can I describe the band's music??? How about... if Muse, Faith No More, Ben Folds & Queen, had an orgy - Ideamen would be the love child... Does that work?? Anyway, our very 1st six-song EP is finished and we're looking for an official release by April 07. The My Space Page is up, but there are no tracks available just yet. But if you REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna hear them now, go here . Oh, and NO Ideamen shows just yet either. We're not playing out till the CD is ready.

The Fake Thing - a tribute to Faith No More
You just can't seem to get enough of us, can you? We'd love to take a few months to work on new FNM tunes to cover, and also take a month or two to get some time to work on our new project for the band, but you keep asking us to play and we don't usually turn down shows! So yeah, 3 shows coming up. Check em out!
