x1984x birthday bash

April 13th 2012
A month before this show my brother from another mother jokingly invited me to it because it was also his birthday. I wasn’t opposed to the idea, since I had yet to make my way out of the country even after having a passport for some 3 years, but it sounded way too expensive for me to pull off! After pricing plane tickets though… I told JDM I was coming and when did he want me to be...

More shows should be as much fun as this one was! I’ve been watching Rag Rage for two and a half years now… And it’s insane how CRAZY kids go when they see them now!!! Here’s this group of really sweet kids that write good pop songs. And when they play it’s either completely packed or there’s a bunch of kids flipping out over it during the entire set. This...

This was a bit of a strange show… First off, it’s the first time I’ve seen Bryan perform with a full band in years (Since he was in The Morons? No, but close to it!), Michael Gentry from The Morons was in the band as well, and that was the first time I had seen him play in almost as many years, this was the last show as The Wild Kind which lasted not much more than two months...

What a strange trip this was… My friend Casey, who is also in Charges, wanted me to see his new band. Bad. There was a couple of times it almost happened but you know how things go. So about a week before this one he asked if I was going to make it… I said probably not because megabus wasn’t giving me anything below top price for tickets and no one else wanted to drive down to...

New Releases!!!
The time is near!!! I paid off the remaining balance of the new 40 Hells 7” (that they’ve been working to get finished for nearly a year now) last week! So as soon as we finish sorting out the artwork, get it printed, cut, and assembled, this release will finally see the light of day. So it will DEFINITELY be completed by the end of May! If you haven’t listened already, the full...

Full Circle!
Big things have happened in the past month! First off I’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that has bought records or downloads to help fund the 40 Hells record! Please, keep it up and spread the word. You can now buy a download of Looking For Answers for as little as $2 which also includes two bonus tracks too. But that’s not the only record we’re working on now…...

I had been trying to catch the Whoremones for at least four months! Who wouldn’t want to see a (used to be) all girl Ramones cover band?! But shit kept happening to keep me from doing it. Being too busy, too broke, no one wanting to come with me, etc. So when I got an invite from Sondra while I was on the way to work, day of the show, I was pretty stoked! I wasn’t broke and I...

Radio, Radio!
On the latest episode of Jerry Springer, uhh… I mean TDB Pirate Radio, we have an interview with Nosecone Prophets! This just might be the funniest episode Tim has ever done. Certainly the most random one! …and it wasn’t that long ago he talked to Mr. Clit And The Pink Cigarettes so that should give you some perspective on things. They (tried to) talk about the band, recording...

I’m simply ecstatic that I got so many amazing shots of Your Pest Band!! I’m blown away that so many people came out for a Tuesday show too… Great band from Japan or not! YPB put on a fantastic set. It’s kind of a shame that I wasn’t more familiar with their songs even though I already had six of their 7”s… I have a LOT of records you know! Including...

I had no idea how amazing this show would be! And I barely even made it there… The evening started off with locals Elk Milk. This was my first time seeing them even though they’ve been around for about a year. Kind of a slow, ambient indie thing going on there. Not bad at all and I would definitely go see them again. After their set I stood outside a little too long getting some...

Sale for 40 Hells!
My brothers 40 Hells from Atlanta, GA asked me to help finish paying to get their new 7” released… Which I would have been involved in from the start if I weren’t flat broke and doing good just to keep the bills payed! But I really wanna help them out so what we’re gonna do is have a Sale for 40 Hells! All of the 7”s are now knocked down to a flat $3 each, which is...

The Unsatisfied are the first punk band I ever saw circa 1993. In some dive metal club called 20 Below that was about a 20 minute walk from where I lived! Yeah, I was a complete metalhead at the time… I saw them several times when I was a teenager and was amazed to find out that they were still playing when I moved back here 5 years ago. Which afforded me the opportunity to become friends...

I shall be on TDB Pirate Radio again tonite! This time with my kiddies Mr. Clit And The Pink Cigarettes. We’ll make fun of ourselves and act really stupid so it should be a good time! The show starts at 10pm EST so don’t miss out! You can also stream their first EP Cancer Tastes Great on the bandcamp now. This is good a time as any to release it, right? It’s going to be a free...

This show rocked! And was an all around entertaining evening… Jonny got in a wreck on the way to pick me up (and it wasn’t even his car). Then we almost ran out of gas. After filling up the car wouldn’t start back until we slammed all the doors and turned the dome light off. Almost got lost but were actually right on track. Which we didn’t figure out until Jonny quit...

Mother. Fucking. TENEMENT!!! It’s just stupid how good these kids are. And I mean like if you cut them, Rock & Roll comes out! Amos plays like he was born with a guitar in his hands. I think this is the first time seeing them with Jesse on bass. Flinging his golden Finnish locks around the entire time. And Eric makes beating the shit out of those skins look completely effortless. Every...

Some of the best photos I’ve ever taken with some of the best people! Cereal is pretty much Buffalo Princess but louder and faster. Which is kind of weird since it’s the same guys as a two piece? Mr. Clit And The Pink Cigarettes are some of the most awesomely weird and sweetest people I’ve ever met! Seriously, check them out if you haven’t yet. And of course Nosecone...

New Year/New Camera
I normally don’t post these updates on the tumblr… Just on facebook. But I just got a new camera so it’s probably time to show off more! I’m sure too many people have never noticed the photoblog on my website too. I take pictures at every show I attend which amounts to several thousand photos from last year alone! It’s going to be a long process getting them all up...

There Goes The Intrepids!
First off we all want to say thank you so much to the 9 people that pledged to the Kickstarter project for Here Come The Intrepids! You dig the tunes, believe in what we’re trying to do, and did your best to help us out. But, seeing as we only reached $86 of our $300 goal, it was a complete and total flop. Two months of hard work for nothing… I did little more than sit at home watching...

HCTI update #1
Ok… I’ve been promoting the crap out of this for at least 3 solid weeks now. And we’re a mere 1/5 of the way towards our goal. I really can’t emphasize enough that Kickstarter is all or nothing so if we don’t reach our $300 mark by November 13th this album WILL NOT happen. I know there’s enough like-minded people out there to make it happen too. I’ve done...

HCTI kickstarter radio!
Tim from TDB Pirate Radio is truly the dude. I asked him if Here Come The Intrepids could be on the Friday show to promote their upcoming album and the kickstarter project. But everything went SNAFU (skype taking a shit, internet connections going down, emails not received, etc, etc). So to make up for it he asked Ed and Keith to co-host his Zombie Bait! radio show on Saturday! But the internet...

Here Come The Intrepids!!
After six weeks, no less than 12 idiots including one supervisor, being repeatedly told “I can’t find your payments account”, 8 faxes from 4 machines, two threatening letters, one very nice representative at my bank, endless frustration, being lied to and misinformed repeatedly, and being ready to kill someone, the biggest bunch of incompetent morons I have ever dealt with ever...
Welcome to 2011
Unsane Asylum Records no longer has a PO Box. I can’t justify spending $100 a year on something that receives at most two items annually and I’m doing good if there’s five mail-outs a year that even require having a PO Box return address on them. I haven’t even done $100 of sales total in 2011. Before any costs are subtracted! So if anyone needs to mail me something get in...

We're Fired by The Mackeys
I really don’t know where to begin here… It blows my mind that I used to call Jonathan Mackey a friend and brother. He’s been making threats against me, that I have on voicemail even, and started to demand more than he was owed regardless of the cost to me both physically and financially. So I had to fire him. I have no desire to work with anyone like that. Or to continue...

TDB Pirate Radio!
Yesterday was quite a day! Out of nowhere I got asked to do an interview on the radio… I’ve never been interviewed before. Let alone live on the radio! Having a bit of social anxiety I got pretty nervous after it sunk in…haha! But since Tim at TDB Pirate Radio also asked me to send in some tracks for him to play during the interview and for future podcasts that gave me something...

(rag) RAGE with Commonwealth!
Webstore...
After messing with the new, impossible to configure, webstore I was trying to install on the website for over 6 months, I deleted it and installed an osCommerce store. It was super simple and I had it all designed with a complete catalog of UAR and distro items in less than a day! But for some reason the postage calculator won’t work no matter what I do… So for the meantime I’ll...

With some much needed coding help from my brother Kelvin (php makes no sense to me!), the photoblog is now up in full swing!! And linked properly on every page of the website. Now I just have to add the other 4,000 pictures I have to it…

x1984x photoblog
After working on it for nearly a year my photoblog is, somewhat, online! I only have about 5,000 more pictures to edit and upload, a new theme to build when I have no idea where to start with php, linking it up on the website properly, and I’m all done! It can give you a headache thinking about how much time and effort I have invested in my photography hobby too. The one set that’s on...

We're Banned!
It’s official!!! uar-008, and our first American artist, is now available for pre-order! Any pre-orders will ship as soon as the discs arrive. And of course if you’re local (as in Chattanooga) don’t order through the webstore as you’ll get charged shipping needlessly. Full stream available on bandcamp also. Introducing The Mackeys! They’re like a motorcycle made out...

On August 8th, 2006 Unsane Asylum was officially born. And Turning Japannalise was her first release! If you dig it you should also check out Here Come The Intrepids which is Ed’s new side project. It’s a lot like Annalise just all acoustic.
