The underground music scene has been a huge part of my life from a very early age. I was heavily involved in shaping the scene here in New Orleans when Frenchman Street was a hotbed for punk and reggae shows — before it became the Disney version of Bourbon Street — or the place tourists think locals hang out. During that time I booked several hundred concerts, made countless flyers, designed album covers and t-shirts and housed a lot of bands that were passing through town. I have a pretty decent resume of bands that I’ve worked with in some capacity along the way — booking At the Drive-In before In Casino Out was released at the now defunct and shit-hole club — where the owner once pulled a gun on me, Monaco Bob’s (that would later become a fancy-ish eatery, 1175), working the door of a NOFX show and booking emo-post-punk icons Braid to name a few.
