Almost a year ago, on November 30 2010, I closed down Rebel Sound Records and The Room for good. The final event was finished, the last garish coat of paint had covered the black and red walls, it was over. Rebel Sound Records and The Room's bittersweet run of about a year and a half was sometimes fun and sometimes completely frustrating, but I look back on that time and am happy that I gave it a shot. I had shut off my cell phone in order to hopefully dissuade bands and booking agents from contacting me about shows. I really didn't have a place to use any longer and with the exception of the occasional rental of the VFW basement or Elf Parlor in North Adams, I was essentially done.....or so I thought.
Don from Chameleon's had sent me a message and we started talking shop about booking different kinds of bands into his club and whatnot. After a meeting in person and a few other conversations, my show booking persona has come out of semi-hibernation. After almost a full year of sleeping without worry about bands, shows, booking agents, attendance....well, it was a good year! Haha!
Now, on with the show(s)!!
