Well we aren’t the best band in Florida, but we have been able to put some gigs together over the past year. Regardless of how bad we may see ourselves, we seem to have a few people that follow us around from place to place. We are in a college town, so I guess that is not that hard to find.

Somehow we found three regular girls that were not bad looking. We were more impressed with their constant interest in our music really. They started out by singing along at their table, but they always found their way to the front row by the end of the night.

We were impressed with their interest, so a few months ago, we decided it would be cool if we invited the faithful on stage to sing along. I had an extra mic and stand on stage just for such a time.

Towards the end to our last set, the girls were near the front as usual. We pull all three of them on stage, and they were excited to say the least. All three of them were on one mic, but one girl was really whaling.

Not more than a minute later the unthinkable happened. I never once thought I would see this. Mid scream, the girl puked. She did not just get sick. If you have ever seen the Exorcist, you have seen nothing. She blew chunks all over the mic, all over her friends, and even on a few people on the front row.

Those hit by dinner and beer were pissed, and the stage was nasty. At that point we knew it was over for the night. We lost the crowd, the mic, and our desire to eat. It was the worst closing ever, but we will never forget it. I’m guessing she won’t either.

Beat that!

We had a excellent thrash band consisting of guitar drums and bass/ vocalist. We are from a small town west of Minneapolis, MN. During this time Prince's Purple Rain came out and the punk scene was very hot in the city. Bands such as Husker Du, Replacements and others were on the scene. We were just commited to do our thing and we wanted the venue everybody wanted to play-- FIRST AVENUE. We submitted a tape and a bizarre letter to just get an impresssion upon the staff to listen to the tape cause we knew if they did we were in. So while I was at work I received and phone call from Prince's Stage manager Fred that they wanted us to open for the Circle Jerks. Who the heck are they? Any ways it was always fun jamming at First Ave and stealing The jerks brew and watching Snake the Schloss smoke a joint. Yeah Snake is the same guy in the movie Repo Man stacking the 7 UP cans. And best of all we opened with one of the Jerks own tunes from the album they were on tour with--
Wonderful... Jam on because you gotta.

This was a while ago, but a good story none the less.

We had booked a show at the Ventura Theater in California opening for Society 1 and Pro-Pain among others.

Being the only smoker in the band, I went outside for a butt before we went on. The rest of the guys were hanging out backstage and were invited into Society 1's dressing room. Now, unbeknownst to me, the singer for Society 1 is well-regarded porn producer Billy Zane (or something to that effect) and he was putting on and recording a "show" for those in attendance. I guess two girls were totally going at it and several toys were involved while the whole thing was videotaped for an upcoming porn release. I missed the whole thing and sat through a few horrible support bands while drininking an overly priced beer. After we played, the guys rubbed it in on what I missed and rumor has it they even made a brief apperance in said porn movie as onlookers.

Even my then-girlfriend, now wife, throws out a few occasional digs as to what I missed in my "rock star" days.

We're setting up, it's late afternoon, the bar's pretty empty. A guy comes in, sits at the bar and has four shots in front of him. He downs two and two guys walk in, grab him off his stool, drag him in the men's room, and shot him to death. So we're witnesses, the bar closes, we can't even get our gear for over a week.

You're an old topic and your I-Pod has Village People and Neil Diamond tunes on it. Capital L on your forehead.

We were playing in some toilet in Youngstown OH. The manager had the brainstorm to hold hot oil and jello wrestling on the dance floor while we played. Started out good enough, but it got real rowdy and oil and Jello flew all over us our equipment and our singer slipped in it herniated a disc and we had to cancel 18 dates
on the rest of our tour
