Hi, Below are a few shows that I am currently doing in the next month or so. If you're in or around the Philly area, please come and hang out. If you would want to receive these emails, please email me at jamie(at)r5productions.com and simply put "shows" in the header and I'll ad you to the list. Thanks, jamie. Wednesday August 17th Kungfu Neck Tie 1248 North Front Street Philadelphia, PA 19122 8 p.m. $10 21+ TOXIC HOLOCAUST - Toxic Holocaust mutated into existence in 1999, when Joel Grind merged his love for classic punk and metal into his ideal band. Like his influences - Bathory, Venom, English Dogs, Possessed, Broken Bones - Toxic Holocaust featured blazing riffs, gravel-throated vocals, and a deadly fixation on the evil in man and a post-apocalyptic world. Grind wrapped all of these elements up with a DIY attitude and begin writing and recording material almost instantly. HOLY GRAIL - Ferocious, full of shred, tight, energetic, and holy hell, tons of hair. KRUM BUMS - Raw, untamed street punk legends out of Austin, TX. The Krum Bums' Live performance have been described as "a meth driven barrage of bloody your nose bedlam." === Tuesday September 6th Danger Danger Gallery 5013 Baltimore Ave Philadelphia, PA 19143 8:00 p.m. $8 All Ages VAZ - Ex-members of the awesome HAMMERHEAD. Now this is more like it, some serious spooky rockin' rock. Brought to you with thick guitar and drums. Thats right, songwriting technology from these crazy hellions. This is a sampling of their hard rock fury mixed with some fried out sci-fi transmissions. I am super excited to have Vaz here in Philly. They've released records on Load, Narnack, GSL, toured with The Melvins, Melt Banana, etc. PYGMY LUSH - Pygmy Lush consists of former members of many bands that sound nothing like this one; Pageninetynine, City of Caterpillar and Mannequin just to give you a few examples. A genre-bending experimental sextet from Sterling, VA, Pygmy Lush juggle punk, lo-fi, screamo, post-hardcore, and moody folk-rock, sometimes all at once. CREEPOID - Philadelphia's own. Tape music turned nearly folk, Creepoid has evolved from intentionally fuzzed out anthems to empathetic tracks that expand on the band’s strengths while unveiling new instances of melodic genius and concise craft…Bringing to mind wintery landscapes and a vibe of springtime dusks. PYGMY SHREWS - What two pygmy's on the same show? Who'd have thought that? Like and updated version of Flipper. === Wednesday, September 7th Grindcore House The Vegan Coffeehouse 1515 S. 4th Street Philadelphia, PA 19147 8 p.m. $6 All Ages PYGMY LUSH - Acoustic, raw, no PA, no drums minus a few members. Playing an entire different set/style. If you like the laid back mellow approach to Pygmy Lush, this show is for you. If you like laid back whiskey soaked folk...this is for you. Grindcore House is super small, and this will be packed quickly! Please show up on time! === Friday, September 9th *THIS IS NOT MY SHOW, BUT I SUPPORT FIGHT AMP!* The NorthStar 2639 Poplar Street Philadelphia, PA 19130 9 p.m. $15!!! 21+ WEEDEATER - Down and out southern swamp metal. Current members of Buzzov*en. BISON B.C. - From Vancouver, B.C., unpretentious, balls-out, heavy-as-hell metal. FIGHT AMP - Continuously the most under rated band out of the Philadelphia area. Akin to The Cows/Unsane. === Sunday September 18th Kungfu Neck Tie 1248 North Front Street Philadelphia, PA 19122 8:00 p.m. $10 21+ URFAUST - All the way from The Netherlands', Urfaust, are completely unmistakable; atmospheric black metal riffs colide with an operatic vocal that is tuneful yet powerful, and completely harrowing. BLACK ANVIL - Relapse Records, U.S. styled black metal, packed with the vocal stylings of Iron Monkey. Ex-members of Kill Your Idols, Sheer Terror, and None More Black (yep!). ENDLESS HUMILIATION - My Wife is Willing" is probably one of the better Raw Noise inspired Black Metal LP's that emerged from the ever growing scene last year. Not too far from Ancestors or Horrid Cross, the drumming is mostly and endless mid-paced stammering like a full-auto unloading into your head, guitars are unhinged bestial noise; a wild, blasting, filthy scattered landscape. Ildjarn, Ancestors and Prurient all bundled up into one. === Friday October 7th House Of Yarga 3914 Spruce St Philadelphia, PA 19104 8 p.m. $8 All Ages FOOT VILLAGE - Have you ever been crammed into the basement of a frat house, and realize there are 4 drum kits set up, and a woman is running around the room screaming in your face with a megaphone, and everyone seems to be on...something? Then you're realizing you're screaming along for no reason at all? Welcome to a show for L.A's FOOT VILLAGE. MORE TBA ===

Hi, I play in a band called Gods And Queens. We are getting ready to go to Europe for our 4th time in November. We don't use a booking agent, I book all the shows myself, and sometimes it feel like I'm banging my head off of a wall. I'm hoping that someone on here can possibly help us out. I'm also here to tel you that we have a new split 7" that will be made available for this tour via Adagio830 records out of Berlin, Germany. The two dates that I am looking for are Wednesday November 30th and Thursday December 1st. Anything west of Germany is fair game. Also, I've attached a pic of all of the colors of our last 7" available at www.sonsofvesta.it Lastly, here are some digital download codes to have if you want to check it out. Just go here www.godsandqueens.wordpress.com to "redeem" the code. Thanks Jamie. godvif6sbrc godddt1nysv god9hr78ed0 godrprijfm4 god522fwt9i godojtb7aje god0iogthy godesot2xmk godo4gzh3xk godsj06sgxj god860q4b44 gode66tjfu8 godpe75vokf godhi0uyudk godmavehuqz

Hi, I play in a band called Gods And Queens. We have a new 7" out on Sons Of Vesta out of Italy. (www.sonsofvesta.it) To go along with the new 7" we had a friend help whip up a video for the song "Untitled 16". Do you remember Unsane's video for "Scrape"? We certainly hope not. Compiled by BMX videographer Ryan Navazio's favorite filmed crashes over his past few projects. Navazio has completed works for Animal Bikes, Cult, Standpoint Video Zine, as well as corporate projects for Redbull, and Gatorade. "Untitled 16" is taken from the brilliantly titled "Untitled 3: EP 2" released and available in Europe via the Sons Of Vesta label. Digitally available from Itunes, Bandcamp, and other standard digital media outlets.

it's jeff from Black Kites.

Hi, this post is for a show I'm doing in Philadelphia for the bands: BURNING LOVE - Featuring Chris Colohan (CURSED, LEFT FOR DEAD, RUINATION) on vocals. More punk than CURSED but still hardcore. LP coming out on DERANGED. COLISEUM - About 6 years ago Hot Cross was all the rage, Level-Plane was putting our records left & right. Coliseum was "my first d-beat band" for a lot of "those" kids. 6 Years later, Coliseum is onto new things, with a new LP on Temporary Residence out now. FIGHT AMP - Simply put, if Am Rep were still putting out records, Fight Amp would be one of them. HALO OF SNAKES - Last show, hardly knew you existed! Ex-members of Off Minor, Autumn, Knives Out, Hot Cross, American Nightmare, and the merch guy who lost all of The Hope Conspiracy's money years ago! The Barbary 951 North Frankford Ave Philadelphia, PA 19125 ***6 p.m. 6 p.m. 6 p.m.*** Shows must start/end early at The Barbary $10.00 All ages 21+ to drink up stairs.

Hi, I play in a band called Gods And Queens. We have a new EP coming out on Sons Of Vesta out of Italy later in the month. It'll be available digitally very soon. The physical copy will be a one sided 12", with silk screened art on the flip side. It's not going to have a U.S. release, so we put it up for streaming to be heard now. If you have any interest please go to www.godsandqueens.wordpress.com, and check it out. If you are still interested we put out an LP about 2 years ago on Robotic Empire/Adagio830, it's down to it's last copies so I figure it's OK to do this: http://www.mediafire.com/?yzt3zd4hdwm. That is a link for our entire last LP. Thanks, Jamie

http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/ablackmetal there's an updated list, i'm going to bed and only have a few more to put up. converge/coalesce split 7", and a coalesce safe place 7". the update is 3 different Taking Back Sunday colors of Tell All Your Friends. 1.6 Band/Rorschach split 7". BOTCH/MURDER CITY DEVILS split 7", and an ISIS/PIG DESTROYER split 7". thanks!

eric, sorry man i'm not really into trading. i'm trying to get rid of records. i'm honestly kind of sick of moving them. i got rid of every CD i owned last year and to be totally honest i just don't listen to 3/4 of my records. i have everything on my Ipod and i feel like these are just taking up space in my house. i sold almost 400 LP's a few months ago to a few local stores in and around my local area. these few are just the last of the lot.

to be totally honest i was floored when it went for as much money as it did the last time. i thought it was maybe a $40.00 record at best. needless to say i was proved way wrong. i'll be adding some 7"s tonight as well.

updated with 3 different colors of Taking Back Sunday "Tell All Your Friends".
