Red Elvises, Warehouse21, Hot Topic and more, coming up!

brianbotkiller — Thu, 13 May 2010 05:15:06 +0000

Hey all, my band, Vertigo Venus, has got a TON of great shows coming up, and we hope to see you out!

Firstly, we’re opening for the RED ELVISES at Corazon in Santa Fe, NM on May 17th:

This is sure to be an AWESOME show!

Next up, we’ve got a great gig in Santa Fe again, at Warehouse 21 – ALL AGES and FREE!

We follow that up with a REALLY IMPORTANT GIG. On May 26th, we’re playing an instore appearance at Hot Topic at the Coronado mall in Albuquerque. yeah, that’s right.

So here’s the deal. We need as many people as we can get at this gig. Why? Because if we can show HT management that we kick ass (which we do), they’ll sell our new CD. That means a lot of good things for us.

so, what we need YOU to do is show up at 5:30pm to Hot Topic in Coronado mall, ready to rock. Bring EVERY FRIEND YOU HAVE with you! PLEASE! I know we ask a lot of you, but this is REALLY important!

And Finally, we are still selling tickets for our june 6th show with SLICK IDIOT, featuring former members of KMFDM and PIGFACE, for only FIVE DOLLARS! This is sure to be an AMAZING GIG. Get in touch with us at vertigovenus@gmail.com to purhcase your tickets, do it now!

Thank you as always for your support, it means THE WORLD to us!

WAXTRAX! Cofounder Dannie Flesher has passed away

brianbotkiller — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 04:22:37 +0000

I’ve just found out that Dannie Flesher, one half of the original crew who started Wax Trax! records, one of the most influential Industrial labels in history, passed away on January 13th, 2010, of Pneumonia. He was 58.

Wax Trax’s other half, Jim Nash, had passed away in 1995, and Flesher had closed Wax Trax and moved back home to Arkansas.

The label had been responsible for breaking a number of great bands, including KMFDM, Ministry, and Underworld.

So, break out an old Wax Trax release, and jam it loud and proud.

TONIGHT! I share the stage with SKINNY PUPPY

The show is all ages, bar with ID, Tickets are $20. This is one of the biggest shows I’ve ever done, so I’m pretty proud of it. I hope you’re there!
