Doing what I can to stave off the boredom...having ink pushed into my skin in the form of intricate designs (being tattooed). Hitting up all the Peniculum (Play a show F*ckers!) and Kill Courtney shows I can. Promoting the Wisconsin, more specifically Milwaukee area music scene because it is sadly overlooked. if you live in IL, Wisconsin or anywhere in the Midwest, Go See Peniculum, Kill Courtney, This Robot Life, and A Postscript Fatality any chance you get. These bands will put on a live show you won't forget, it is worth the drive...Watchin Movies (keep reading, be patient)...reading, to make up for the brain cells Ive killed off. I read a lot, but thats coming later, I can't talk about that now or Ill get sidetracked...Ok, back on topic, I recently started helping Peniculum and Kill Courtney book shows...If you are in a band and want to play a show with either of them, Let Myself or the bands know, if you are a fan and want Peniculum or Kill Courtney to come to your town, let them or myself know...I have also begun promoting local artists and groups, any genre. Im looking for dedicated, talented groups or artists who want someone to help with the promotional/marketing/advertising and public relations side of things so they can concentrating on doin' what they do. Im just trying to let the world know that Milwaukee has a lot of musical talent.
There are lots of people I'd like to meet, unfortunately most of 'em are dead...
