i get a call monday at 12:45pm from schmitty who is on the thrasher / altamont skaterock tour asking me to pull a last minute show for THE GOAT and BAD SHIT in Allentown or Bethlehem on a day off after the Philly show the night before. i was not going to let this one slip by so i had my band , BAD AMERICAN open up the show.

this is my band , BAD AMERICAN. photo: zahradnik ( Jake and Spanky right up front)

i left a message on his phone 3 weeks ago and never heard back. i started texting him on Saturday and they said it would be a no go. a few days later, they changed their mind and changed most of these kids lives at the Homebase Warehouse. donations only for gas. super last minute. it was a word of mouth and text thing. full house and complete insanity. skating in the other room. bands rocking out .all put together in just 7 hrs.

a true meaning of the phrase , skaterock tour.
