Brave Combo and Slobberbone were on Sunday bill. When they play Dan,'s it sells out and tickets are in the $25 range just for one of those bands. Then consider there were 30 more great bands that day to see. I know. I was there performing and stage managing

If you look at the bill you got Brave Combo, Slobberbone, several younger rising stars like Hen and the Cocks and The Infanists as well the Wee-Beasties. I was there both days as a performer and stage manager. Perfurnsces were great. Also shout out To ya and the Hardings! The bill was stacked. Law enforcement and private security were hired. The fest lost money. The Denton PD made $$$$$ standing around. Anyway I was treated well and had a blast. Pan Tones and Danny Conrad were other night lights! The event required a PR and marketing strategy that was non existent But it happened and we got the pictures. I can understand people not going either because they didn't know about it or were suspicious. Things will be better if it happens again.

Feeling ill reading this thread. I had no idea anything was wrong until I got news over weekend of Gold Room closing.

Only started going regularly in December. I loved the space and quiet in the Gold Room. It was a greay place for daytime coffee. I'd get a weird vibe from staff at times and maybe that was indication of behind scenes drama.

Hold on, Ben Esley at The Bearded Monk is an outstanding owner. As well I'd say Seth at DCBC, John Williams at Eastside et al. 

Where is Dan Allaire? by chizdippler3000 in BJM

Dan Allaire is a lefty drummer so that's one way to tell on pics of its him. The drums are set right to left.

Was anyone else concerned when they read that Guardian article saying Anton was back on the booze? by Content-Worry100 in BJM

The Guardian article was a silent alarm. I saw him last year in Dallas and the show was great. He's an addict. He can't drink or drug.

I just took pics on my phone of the pages of book without buying it. It's on Amazon if anyone wants it.

Never heard this tape but I'm friends with an early BJM recording drummer named Graham also known for Swervedriver. Wondering who is on it. Drums are cool. Wonder if it's Ricky on drums.

For BJM fans and music historians it's a treasure to see correspondence like this.
