Its spelled S-H-A-N-T-E-L-L
I did not want to use this blog as a anti Nate thing, because I really don't give a fuck, I guess I am one of the few that doesn't need to play Jerry's and will say what I feel when I see wrong doing. I too have, and recently, asked to play there with Tsunami Bomb because I love them. I responded, in writing, because it is bullshit that any one person would try to monopolize a local music scene, and because of that Mr. Burg has placed some rambling crap about "orange pickers" and a boycott that I personally have organized on the Jerry's website...and to top it off he misspelled my fucking name! I don't need to get all United Farm Workers on his ass, Nate does things from time to time that causes this type of dialogue and reaction. I am not organizing a boycott, I don't hate Nate, I just disagree about the way he runs his business, and will say something about it. I am not the only one that is taking part, so in a sense, because of his actions Nate himself, is the one who organized the Jerry's boycott with his "us and them" fucking mentality. Mr. Burg is insane if he thinks that I am the only one involved, does he not get it that the bands that were called on the road and told their shows were canceled because of his actions did nothing? Does he think that those bands didn't contact their labels to put the word out about him? It is not up to him to decide what music is Jerry's good and that all others are not. I agree with Kenny Mount, our band like his, doesn't work at that venue, and that is fine, it does notmean that we are "nasty oranges" what ever the fuck that is??? I guess my band sucks in his eyes and we aren't Jerry's good, but I guess we are shitty enough to play regularly at The Anarchy Library, Mr. T's Bowl, Zen Sushi, and The Silverlake Lounge...what the fuck ever we are signing off from the Nate controversy he gets enough bad press of his own.
