I've booked hundreds of bands in my life, and I can say without a doubt there is not one that I am closer to than the boys in Florida Night Heat. @blackvikinggod@semretsim@pocketchomper and @minihorse are essentially like brothers to me. So, I am so honored that they're allowing my new company, Sorta Pretty Good to promote what is more than likely their final show at a venue that means so much to us in its final month(in days), Crowbar. We're both lucky that a band that we love so much, Soft Cuff has agreed to be on the bill! Finally rounding out the show is a band that blew me away when I saw them open up for the Sh-Booms at Crowbar a few weeks ago, Hovercar. Tickets onsale now. Hit that link in the bio!!

I'm pretty excited to announce something I've been working on for almost a year now. @effrenblowfly and I, the guys that brought you the epic MF DOOM and De La Day parties at @crowbarybor , are teaming up on a new venture called, @sortaprettygood . S.P.G. will be a clothing brand and an event promotion company. Think; Sorta Pretty Good shirts, Sorta Pretty Good hats, Sorta Pretty Good events... you get the idea.
In the next few days, we'd be announcing a lot of what Sorta Pretty Good has planned for you. Starting tomorrow with our first event. Followed by the release of our first shirt run and then a few other fun events we have planned for the summer. So please give this page and our IG a like and follow along with all the exciting stuff we have in store for you.
Shout out to @satanfinger for the logo, design, advice, opinions and support. Everybody should be so lucky to have a smilemaker™️ in their lives!
Thanks again, we'll talk tomorrow!!
Between putting on concerts and attending them, I've seen thousands and thousands. So, though I do still enjoy the experience, it's rare that I'm ever surprised or overwhelmed with emotion anymore. Last night was a pleasant exception. We attended a show at Blue Note with Savion Glover, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Chris Dave. It was reinvigorating.
Sometime, I feel like booking shows was a lifetime ago. But what a lifetime it was! This just came up in memories from 11 years ago.That's a pretty solid three months of music.
So my honest question to all of the people on my feed that are very upset with what happened to Charlie Kirk, and shocked by some of the responses online, and wanting to just say kumbaya, and all be one human race. Where was your outrage almost 3 months ago, when this poor woman was killed?
I didn't see any of you post anything about how despicable it was. I didn't see any of you post anything about how despicable, the Republicans that were mocking it or making fun of it were. Where is the equality in your outrage? I am so sick of all of your fake grandstanding.
And while Charlie Kirk's discourse was definitely in public, as all of you who like to defend him as someone who uses words and not violence, it doesn't make the things he said any less racist, hate filled and violence inducing. When Nancy Pelosi's husband got bludgeoned by a hammer, he laughed and made comments about how he wishes he could have seen it and that it was worse? Where were all of you guys outrage at Charlie's comments?? But now poor Charlie?
So, again, why do we only pick and choose when we're very upset about people getting killed?
Feel horrible for his kids. But, this very much seems like a chicken's coming to roost moment.
