Greetings my friends and fellow concert lovers. I’m sure you are sitting in your home w/ your loved ones and just social distancing your hearts out. As for me, I’ve been enjoying this extra time with family and getting home things done, however I am missing live music and our music family more than I can express.
Generally I receive hourly (if not more frequent then that) emails about shows and tours. Lately that’s been rather stagnant, even though I’ve kept in touch w/ many agents simply to see how all is holding up. Its a very strange thing to just not know what to work on. We are in this weird state where we have things planned but there is so much uncertainty that they could get cancelled or postponed. We’ve had more show’s postponed in the year 2020 then we’ve had in our 10+ years in existence combined.
So how have I spent my lack of show vacation? I began a wonderful feud on Twitter w/ a rather lame band (the name is unimportant as I don’t want them to get free attention, ha). That’s just to keep my humor rolling. More importantly I’ve been working on this page, coming up w/ Ideas to stay in touch with everyone and planning some amazing things for when this is all behind us.
***TOP SECRET***
Here’s some info that is not signed, sealed or delivered but to give you something to look forward to here’s a few things we are potentially planning.
01. From Ashes To New - The band just released a brand new track called “Panic” and will be dropping a new album late summer / early fall. We intend to have them back to H.M.A.C. before 2020 ends
02. Green Jelly - The band (of which i’m a part of) will be making their way back to Harrisburg and a few surrounding dates hopefully as early as September. Obviously this is Pandemic Permitting..
03. The Queers - Everyone loved them when we had them last year so we have been in talks w/ having them back. Side note we’d like to work on some other Punk shows like Richie Ramone maybe…
04. Racehorse Tavern - We want to do more there. One monthly show would be ideal. The Warped Tour Throwback will Def be happening as well as some other shows. We’d like to have Defiant back there, Kamikaze Kupcakes perhaps even bands like Ignite The Fire or A Light Divided.
05. The Tourist Inn - The venue is getting an overhaul and remodel and We want to do more w/ them as well. Monthly or every other month. We still owe them a banging show after the Future Leaders of The World cancellation or con job they pulled is more accurate.
06. The Lizard Lounge at Chameleon Club - I’d like to do a every other month or eve 4 times a year show there as well.
07. Throwback shows. Ozzfest in Harrisburg is hopefully still on and we’d like to do more of that. Family Values, Lollapalooza throwbacks and more…
These are idea’s for now but all things start that way right?
