long time no update

Yes, this site is still up and is still the only attempt at interweb lameness I have explored. I haven't written anything on here lately, and I should stop that. I will hotwire this puppy to be more of a news source for all things ESCHE. I will post all info for shows by all my bands and stuff. There are so many things going on that I really need to let you all know. So, first off, I will be setting this jiggy up so that it will email updates to those of you whose email addys I have, thereby saving me the time and effort of actually emailing crap to everyone in the world. But now the exciting stuff...

First off, let me have everyone welcome Trashed On Fiction to the ESCHE fold. They have been kicking it for a couple years now, and even though they are still young, their sound has been maturing so much recently. They just finished recording their latest mini-opus and I honestly cannot wait to release it on an unsuspecting public. Soon, you will all get trashed as well.

Also, tonight is my very first label showcase show. Here is the info:
