Not gunna lie. The show last weekend really reminded me why i fell in love with the music scene. Seeing young ones having fun really is what makes me happiest in the scene. I have been debating if i should come back to the promoting field again, but honestly, if i cant do all ages, i don’t think it would be right for me.
Anyone need an all ages venue promoter?

To my Band Homies!
Who are you using to make shirts these days? I prefer to support the underdogs or private owned businesses. Looking to make shirts anywhere between 1-6 colors (still interested if they cant do that many colors). Need decent turnaround, good service, reliability.
So holler who you are using. I got an order to place sooner then later, like asap, so any help is appreciated!
Much love to you all!

My good friend and guitarist of SFA lost his home today and sadly the family dog Udo to a fire. His wife, daughter and himself are ok, but lost everything in the home. Please read the gofundme for details, and if you can donate, any help is appreciated. Sharing goes a long way to help a family in need!
They are in a hotel for the night, but the future is uncertain. Mark Sluder said he will update people when he gets the chance.
Much love to you all!

Mark Sluder woke up at around 3am on January 13th and started to head out… Blaine Shrum needs your support for Sluder family recover from losing home to fire
