WHORESHACK - LIVE! AT THE MAIN STREET COFFEE HOUSE ,FT. MYERS ,FLORIDA





The first and last ever ,live gig by Whoreshack. We were third choice openers since the band Deadbone ,who was originally scheduled to open ,had their drummer die on them ,the second choice opening band ,Turd Thermos ,were all school kids ,who could'nt play because they got caught skipping school ,and most of the band was grounded. So we opened for Conveyor and Big Bong Theory ,thoroughly trashing the audience with our huge cocks!We were a hard act to follow ,baiting the audience with an almost Fear-like venom!A few covers ,mixed in with all original improv instrumentals ,and the hit song ,"Not Come Down". There was fun in the air ,as it was Labor Day Weekend 1993 ,and the boys were crankin' out this slop ,to an undeserving audience.Fuck them! Now you can experience the madness ,without actually having to stand in a room full of slackers,losers,and smelly crust punks and dead heads!This is the shit! Vance played drums ,since original drummer,Mike Smith, was home sleeping!

ED WOOD ---- SPOKEN WORD MASSACRE



more solo projects,as i,under the guise of "ed wood",so as to avoid persecution under the law for free speech,do some spoken word.not to be boasting or anything ,but ask anyone from the old scene,and they will agree,i hope,that i was the catalyst that got downtown going,to what it is today(sorry).i got rick,owner of the draft house at the time,to let our band,one fell swoop play there,when no one was playing downtown,and then by reading poetry between or after bands(when gary had the draft house),i got the whole poetry slam thing going and then the coffee house opened(thanks to cindy bruce),and everyone tried to follow suit.most poets were reading lame love poems,and celebrating the most boring poetry of all time.me, i was more confrontational,mostly reading lyrics to songs by bands i was in,some of which are hilarious,some serious,and some got peoples blood rushing.i would say what everyone else was too scared or embarrased to say,but wish they could.this is not all of my spoken work ,but about 10 choice picks of gigs from the coffee house,the draft house,pathfinders(thanks linda),and a studio piece.you'll also hear a few moments from sean mcardle,and red head nikki.vance plays guitar on session 10,i did all backround music for track 11,and i accompany myself on several acoustic numbers scattered throughout.no track lists,but i usually say the title before each piece,also each track is a whole dated session.a couple of times the people running thangs tried to censor or stifle me,and wait till you hear the results!folks in an uproar over the pictures i paint in their brains,get 'em thinkin',then they get mad!no one can top me.this one strange character would show up unannounced,and take the mic from time to time.he wore a cape and some sort of bird mask with a beak,anyone know this man's identity?i never solved that mystery.but anyway here i am in some of my finest moments,i cover lydia lunch,nick cave,henry rollins,emilio cuberio,and other famed poets.i always listened to william s. burroughs,ginsberg and other beat poets,and said,i can do this,this is cool.i never went for people telling me what i could and could'nt say,and always went against the grain.i still hold these truths today.
