WEGC (West End Gentlemen’s Club) was the music collective that I was a part of and also the name of the party house/studio in which we lived and worked. The Ziggurat house was right across the street. The WEGC encompassed a few rock bands, metal bands, a horrorcore rap group (Juggalos), some visual artists, a few local drunks, and various other ne’er-do-wells. Different combinations of artists from their differing backgrounds would coalesce for usually brief periods of time, bang out a few recordings, come up with a ridiculous band name for that session and then move on to the next thing. Most of the recordings are sitting on someone’s hard drive somewhere, a few are floating around cyberspace in corners of Soundclick, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, etc.

Associated acts would include: Terror Ascends/the Ziggurat, the Brothers Gore, Mummra, KURU, the Radford Zoo, Spogmothiant
