Yesterday we rolled up the back doors of our HQ to have After School Special (A.S.S.) play. The middle school-aged three piece jammed through a tight 40-minute set that ended on an Iggy Pop birthday tribute cover of “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and featured Tanner Rozunko on vocals.

In the background, the mini ramp was ripped, pizza and cola were flowing and every single person in attendance — including a blown away Mark Oblow, Ian Crane, Tanner Rozunko — are very happy with the future of the youth.

After School Special are Jackson Todd, Gus Day and Ty Connelly and they all ripped at every instrument they touched, trading back and forth and ripping covers of The Pixies and The Stooges. Check their Instagram (_afterschoolspecial_) and keep an ear out. Cant’ tell you how excited we are to see what these kids create in the future.

These artifacts detail a long-winded sitting. With an interesting man. Who had a lot to say. The setting was perfect. The lighting signifies that it was conducted in a place where the mind runs more freely, spurred on by caffeine and nicotine. The latter not something we condone, but something we realize is a necessary…

“A creator needs only one enthusiast to justify him.” The surrealist sexual painter/photographer Man Ray said this. And we think it’s important to remember today especially.

“We spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it.” John Steinbeck wrote that line in his essay “Paradox and Dream”. I’m sure you’ve read it.  Anyway, we like that line.
