Guestbook

Just wanted to let people know of our new band Time Machine, you can check out the website at www.timemachinelive.com. Scott 2/25/2010 2:34:38 PM
Hello Mr. Sorenson.....I hope all is well with you. Any news on the band front? Jay 11/17/2009 4:35:44 PM
2nd entry this year. Hello Jay & everyone! Scott 10/25/2009 7:09:51 PM
Does anyone even write in here anymore? I will. Hi to everyone and I wish you all well. STEEL PANTHER RULES!!! GO VIKINGS!!! Jay Lyngaas 9/16/2009 7:42:41 AM

Just Wanted To Say To All MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!! C BLOCK 12/24/2008 2:56:35 PM
I saw a couple familiar faces the other day on a Northstar Bar commercial. Nicely done, Merry Christmas. Mike Fenske 12/16/2008 5:50:27 AM
All I can say is Oh MY God! You guys all look so pretty! Nori 12/11/2008 5:36:20 PM
HEFT!!!!! Cool runnin' into Tom at Barnes & Noble last week. We indeed need to give Rick Schneider more credit....didn't he and someone else get busted ripping off floodlights for our prehistoric light shows?!!? I feel sooooo guilty, I indeed have many Oasis and Koncept tapes not yet on this site. As I told Tom, I'm working on some of my old solo cassette material (digitizing it, search for "Tony Pucci" at LastFM.com), but after that I'll turn my attention towards this fer y'all! I found my '83 Mount Olive tape the other day, so after blaming Scott for losing it for the last 25 years (haha!), I'll have to now admit publicly that I'm supremely unorganized! YOGI!!! Tony Pucci 11/25/2008 6:11:58 AM
Scott & Tom how you guys doing? Working late and happened to come across the site. Hope things are going well for you both. Picked up a Clapton Custom Strat and Vintage 57 Strat most recently, wish I played better back then, definately better these days. Unlike when I was trying to draw the album cover for Oasis. . Anyway fun to see the pictures. Let me know what your doing these days. Take care! Jeff Jeff Miller 11/19/2008 3:28:51 PM
Wow, we're all getting old and shit! Fun times. Great memories. Glad we got to jam with you guys at M-m-m-Monsters of Roch. Hell, that was only 20 years ago! I still play guitar....just for fun. Wife bought me a cool 5-piece Gretsch kit so I can be known to beat them from time-to-time too. Take care! Long live the '80's! Mike Fenske 10/22/2008 12:42:00 PM
WHAT THE F#CK More than a month has gone by and no postings, Well I'll Type.... A LOUD Hell Yeah To the new METALLICA CD Not A Perfect Disc But It Rocks Hard So All Is Right In The World...

Wow - I need to check the guest book more often - Rick, Debbie & Dan it is great to hear from you!! Also, C-Block, I want that Surgical Steel! I think you borrowed mine and sold it for smokes.... JK Scott 8/5/2008 8:05:35 PM
Hello all. I came across this site while looking up some info on old Rochester bands. I honestly don't think I've heard any of these bands live, and don't believe I've met Tom or Scott. But I seem to know or have met quite a lot of your former bandmates from over the years. This is a great site guys, well done. Abe 8/4/2008 11:47:01 AM
Ok, I am only a bit disappointed to be left out of so much of the late eighties part of this thing. I was a drummer in a band with Scott and Tony for about two practices when Koncept was on a hiatus. Then Stryker got to gether again and wanted you guys to play and Tom was back in the seat for the rest of the ride. I want some recognition for 'Finding hundreds of flood lost in backyards and schools for the lighting system." I look forward to finding some photos from the chicken hatchery days on hear. Scott, I still can't sleep well after hearing the bass line from Black Sabbath. I'll be back to see what's going on. As for me I working with glass and teaching at the University of South Alabama in Mobile on the gulf coast. Any of you coming down to New Orleans should hit me up. I'm about two hours from there. Rick Schneider 8/3/2008 11:53:28 AM
OMG! I just happened to trip across this web site surfing the net on this exciting Friday night. Great job on this, it brings back a ton of memmories! How the heck are you guys? I havn't seen you in forever! Debbi (Strain) 7/25/2008 10:09:47 PM
I love this site and I think of you guys all the time ....I am stuck in Germany and cant get out with my family .I am trying to raise money to get back to Minnesota ...I was hoping to run into Tom and Scott ....I hope you guys write back .....Dan Fosdick.....( animal ) Dan Fosdick 7/22/2008 6:17:30 AM
HEY ROCKERS !!!!!! THIS JUST IN i just downloaded the SURGICAL STEEL 7 SONG EP all remastered so if anybody's lookin to relive 1986 or to just " Crank It Up" let me know i'll hook ya up C-BLOCK C - Block 6/20/2008 12:39:01 AM
I would also like to thank Tom & Michelle (what an awsome serving wench - the tacos where fantastic!) That was a great party and it was very cool to see everyone. Roy - we ended up not being able to play the gig, so we just got together and watched vids. Scott 6/19/2008 3:30:35 PM
A HUGE MASSIVE THANK YOU TO TOM & MICHELLE for hosting a great KID WHIPLASH reunion Party. It was great see everyone there , So Glad I was apart of that band and all the great people involved as well . Thanks Again C= BLOCK C - Block 6/14/2008 9:38:09 PM
So...the Post Bulletin says the Kid Whiplash reunion show is this Saurday, but the North Star's site online says In The Fields is playing that night. What's the scoop? Roy 6/6/2008 9:57:50 AM
I hope that station can survive through Aug. I haven't had the radio on since KNAC 105.5 Pure Rock died. It would be nice not to have to charge my mp3 player every day while we're there. Bri 5/14/2008 5:04:30 PM
By the way, Tom, the twin cities' radio situation isn't THAT much better than Rochester's...it's mostly dominated by ultra-pop and pussy rock (the line between them is often blurred) with a LITTLE bit of classic rock (Skynnard every hour) and hard rock (a rotation of about 4-5 bands). Thank god for iPods!! :) Nonetheless...I see your point...so what's the new Rochester station like? Joe Carey 5/13/2008 4:06:59 PM
I once attended a wedding where some midget road crew members dressed as pirates showed up. Those motherfuckers are FIERCE!!!! I tried to pet one of them on the head because he was so cute and he nearly bit my balls off!!! Anyway, I'm playing a solo show @ the Break Room this Wed., May 14th...starting @ 9:30 pm...two 60 minute sets...no cover. I had to cancel the last show w/ Brandon Messmer due to illness/loss of voice...oh well, what is a muthafucka to do? Hope to see ya. Joe Carey 5/12/2008 10:05:56 PM
Hey, guys! Come down to the Star this Saturday, May 10 to show support for Rochester's new ROCK station,,,ZROCK 107.7. STIR will be hosting the party. The Bud Girls will be there from 8-10 introducing the new Bud Light Lime, there's 50 cent 12 oz. tap beers from 9-10, and cool prizes and giveaways throughout the evening. Unfortunately, I never did line up the midget road crew dressed as pirates. (I was really looking forward to seeing the little showers of sparks as their sword tips dragged across the floor). Guess I'll have to settle for some crazy drunk fuckers instead. I wonder where a guy could find a few of those? Hmmmmm.... Roy 5/5/2008 9:19:06 PM
LONG LIVE THE CRUE Just Saw The New Video , Holy Shit Motley Is Back And Kickin' Ass , Find It On You Tube !!!!!!!!! Saints Of Los Angeles !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! C - Block 4/17/2008 1:42:41 PM
The new station does show some promise. They are operating on a shoestring budget at this point, with no commercials for about 2 weeks, and no DJs for the first 2 or 3 months. I'm in the process of organizing a sort of coming out party for the station at our May 10 gig at the Star. Sort of a Rochester's hardest rockin' station at Rochester's hardest rockin' bar with one of Rochester's rockin' bands type deal, with give aways and such. I'm hoping to line up the Jagermeister or Captain Morgan girls to appear (does anybody know where I can get a midget road crew dressed as pirates?). I'll let you know if it all pans out. Shameless plug time: I will be at the Star this fri playing with STIR. Stop in if you're out and about. Roy 4/8/2008 8:49:45 AM
All I have to say is...it's about f-in time! It's nice to have a choice between "classic rock" and "classic rock" and "light rock" (I miss the cities!). Tom 4/7/2008 8:48:33 PM
Server Error ...Server Error...Arghhhhhh , Glad Someone Fixed That Problem , Anyhow How Bout' A " KID WHIPLASH " Update ?????????? Someone Start Posting Sumthing We The Fans Must Know!!!!. The 2nd Thing You All Must Be Aware Of Is After 20 Years In Waiting Rochester Finallllllly Has A Rock Station Yes And They Say It Would'nt Happen.

Kid Whiplash / 20 year reunion - Saturday June 7th 2008 - North Star Bar - Rochester MN Scott 2/17/2008 7:27:59 PM
Thank you C-Block, Bri and even you Joe for the B-Day wishes! By the way Joe... it was FIVE wine coolers and I didn't pass out until at least 11:40 or maybe even 11:45! Scott 2/7/2008 7:06:09 AM
Grasshoppa, cool, I will try to make it down and slam down my contribution. You missed a wicked thrash the other night. Tom 2/6/2008 10:03:58 PM
Hey guys, Just wanted to let you know that I will be reuniting with former Loft band mate Brandon Badass Messmer for a one-time acoustic performance @ the Break Room in Rochester on Wed., Feb. 27th starting at 9:30 pm...there's no cover. We'll be playing some of my tunes, some of his, a few old Loft songs, and maybe a few funky-ass covers. Our pay is based on a percentage of bar sales...so please come and drink until you throw up!!! Speaking of throwing up...sorry I missed your birthday party, Scott. I played until 11:30 and I just assumed that you had already vomitted your four wine coolers and passed out by then...much like a high school girl!! Maybe next year, Tiger! Later, Joe Joe Carey 2/5/2008 2:40:09 PM
Crap, you're turning my own singer against me. You won't push it back two months just for me? Don't you know guitar player trumps rhythm section even if you add a singer? :) There's no way I can come in June. Not even for you guys. Amberlyn is still in school at that time as well and she refuses to fly. Somebody better video tape the whole thing. Scott, Isn't that supposed to be my line? Peavey's aren't as bad as they were back in the day. They finally discovered tubes! I'll stick with Carvin. Bogner Ubershall if you twist my arm. Happy B-day old fart. Bri 2/3/2008 5:23:14 AM
First Things First.... Brian The Boys Make A Good Point Get your Ass Back Here In June!!!! Or Play Peavy Forever!!! Next... HAPPY FRICKIN' BIRTHDAY TO Scott/Snorky/cookie/lenny/hammer/bins ...Holy Shit I'm Exhausted Too many names Anyway Happy 40th You Old Shit Love Ya' C-Block C - BLOCK 2/3/2008 3:09:14 AM
Indeed. That's a deal breaker. Either come back in June or I won't add you to the KW crew list dammit! Tom Salmon 2/1/2008 9:33:30 PM
Thats a negative on the August thing Bri - you will come back in June and you will like it! What.... do you play Peavy or something?? Scott 2/1/2008 7:07:35 PM
Curt, I had forgotten about you not wanting to play Will's. That was the closest thing to a gig we had even though it was closer to what Jim's place was supposed to be. It's a shame Storm never could get all the pieces together at the same time. We were at our best when it ended. Over a grand for The Stuff CD. I wonder what I could get for a pickup used in Rick Stack's guitar:) I wish we had a Kid Whiplash CD. Scott, I'd love to see a KW reunion, especially since I never got to watch the show back in the day. Michelle is still teaching in June. We'll probably be back in mid August. Bri 1/30/2008 8:11:26 PM
Hey Brian! Good to hear from you! Yes, you should be listed in the Kid Whiplash area, that would be Tom's area but I am sure he will take care of it when he reads your message. Speaking of Kid Whiplash, I have been talking with Rick and Tom, we are starting to plan a 20 year reunion on or around June 9th of this year, that is 20 years from the first KW show. You should make plans to come back for a visit then! Scott 1/30/2008 8:43:44 AM
Hey Bri, Holy shit u r alive... A guy can't help the fact that he was hungry but i would never quit..lol I Do have a memory of not wanting to play at one of will ericksons partys , but Lenny talked me down from the ledge that nite..all the drama in the 80's.. I'm Glad To See You Found The Site, Next Issue....The Stuff Words Can Not Explain My Utter Disbelief in how much that freakin cd sold for on e-bay don't Quote Me But I Think..1120.00 . Are You SHITIN' ME ? ? ? I used My copy for a drink coaster oh well , so much for pickin the golden nugget. Thomas You Finally Produced Something Worth Cash Hang In There Folks Lets Try To Weather This STUFF Craze together See Ya C- Block C-BLOCK 1/28/2008 1:14:59 AM
Hey all, Just stumbled onto this site. Way cool trip down memory lane. I'll need to find time to see it all. Don't I get a crew credit for being Rick's tech for the first three KW shows? It all started when my space brother sent me back home to grab my slide. When I was about to grab just the slide, I got a feeling he'd need the guitar too. Dashed back to the show and after some drama at the door I went to give Curt my slide. I ended up having to fix Rick's guitar that he fell on while heading to the stage. I think it was Dealer he had to play with my Bich while I tuned his backup guitar. Since Storm was over (Jim was sick of metal, and we were all sick of making Curt sandwiches to keep him from quiting) and I was leaving town, I stayed on as Rick's tech for the Austin and 4H shows. I'm just getting back to playing. I'm at the 3 month mark of a possible 6 month wait for my Jackson USA Kelly. I still have the Bich. Bri 1/27/2008 2:16:54 AM
Hey Tonia! Good to hear from you, glad you like the site! Scott 1/14/2008 9:52:37 AM
Wow! This site brought back so many memories of "high school" days. Not that we spent that many days actually "in" high school.... I think this site really says a lot about the enormous amount of talent between all of you - And very worth the while to put all 27 years together into one terrific site. Really awesome :) Tonia Tonia Forscher 1/11/2008 7:33:37 AM
Hey guy's! We're playing at a benefit Sunday for our guitar player Steve Rolbiecki at the Star. There will be plenty of fuckers there that you know and probably want to stay the fuck away from. Here's the schedule: 4:00-5:00 Flat Buzz ( Rip's band ) 5:30-6:30 7 Day Weekend ( Jay's band ) 7:00-8:00 Stir ( Cody's band ) 8:30-9:30 Unatural ( Scooter's band ) 10:00-11:00 Schizopathic ( Cole's band ) Just thought I better warn ya. Roy Roy 10/8/2007 7:50:52 AM
Roy, didn't read the email in time. I'll have to catch you next time around. Tom 9/25/2007 7:04:58 PM
Hey! I'm gonna playing at the old home away from home ( the North Star) this Saturday. My kid Cody's gonna be handling all the guitar duties. It would be kinda nice to see some of your drunk asses there! Somebodies gotta keep me in line. Roy 9/20/2007 10:43:58 AM
I am up for a road trip but only if Tony promises to wop out and lock himself in a truckstop bathroom somewhere along the way! Koncept reunion 2 does sound like a lot of fun though! Scott 9/19/2007 8:00:49 PM
A winter roadtrip to Georgia to jam would be kool for KonceptReunion2, haha, but only if Chadlius gets a one-way ticket to Minneapolis first so the 5 Lennie's can enjoy 2 whole days trapped in a car together! Tony Pucci 9/15/2007 12:03:06 PM
Indeed, another Koncept reunion would rock, lets talk Chad into getting another plane ticket! Scott 7/15/2007 3:20:52 PM Maybe next spring. No more winter trips north of the Mason-Dixon. It was the most fun I had had in years and have not matched it since - birth of #2 was fun, but a different (and bloodier) kind of fun. Chad 9/13/2007 3:22:55 PM
HELLO TO ALL, I myself was asking about brian witter as we were both in that super huge and grossley popular band STORM , when i asked his brother jeff about him his reply was "i don't know .. i have not talked to him in several Years!!!"so at this point i'm in the same boat as the rest of you , would love to speak to brian just don't know how . sorry guys if i think or hear of something i'll let you know C- BLOCK C - BLOCK 9/13/2007 12:58:58 PM
Sure who could forget Brian. In fact, I just ran into his brother, Jeff, at Fleet Farm last weekend. I'm sure Curt Block knows how to get a hold of Jeff and you could get Brian's info from him. I wonder if Brian knows about this site. It would be good to hear from him. Curtis Lowe? Can you hook us up? Tom Salmon 9/11/2007 8:01:21 PM
Hey Jay, yup, I've still got 'em. I also have a ton of photos from Rick I'm going to try to scan sometime soon too. Can you send me your address again and I'll mail them off when I get them done. Sorry it's taking so long. I hope to spend some more time with this site now that I'm moved and getting settled a bit. It was great seeing you again and pounding a few down with ya! Tom 9/11/2007 7:57:17 PM
Hey guys - I think I have three songs we did as 'Mean Time' with Stevie-D. I'll try and upload some mp3s in the near future -gotta look for em again! -Brandon B-dog 9/7/2007 9:57:19 AM
Anyone out there remember Brian Witter? If so, and you know how to reach him, drop me a line and thanks in advance. THOMAS and SCOTT- great seeing you and everyone else at Horse's B-day party.....Hopefully I'll get the privilege of seeing you all sometime soon when I make it up there to the "GUIDING LIGHT" in order to comsume some frosty ones and watch you play. THOMAS, do you still have those photos I "borrowed" you of youself, myself, Scott, Rick, Tom Dailey, etc. partying way "back in the day"? Jay Lyngaas 9/2/2007 7:35:31 AM

Hello to all , wanted to throw something a tad off the wall out there in Rhythm Rock land, for the past few weeks i've been digging through my cd collection wich at this point is getting ridiculous and started noticing all the really cool hard rock and metal cds from the 80's that i've collected over the past few years . I also sarted to notice that a ton of this stuff is getting damn hard to obtain.... so i started thinking , it would be really cool to share this stuff with fellow 80's rockers out there and give you guys in Rhythm Rock land a chance to enjoy these great bands as well.I mean it's not fair for me to boggart all of the killer out of print stuff is it??? well i did pay for it...lol, in the past i've recived requests for copys of some of my stuff and it got me thinking ( wich rarely happens) WHY NOT SHARE!!!!. so if you're intrested in getting copys of anything from the 80's mainstream or a tad deep please send me a e- mail at curtisblock@hmtel.com , i'm thinking a cdr copy or a mp3 through e-mail or msn messenger if you want a cdr copy i will remaster the levels for you ( i.e. bring the levels up to 0db) because some of this 80s stuff sounds good its just quiet. and then mail you the cdr . if you want full cds no problem , a mix cd of your favorite tunes ..no problem maybe just a few songs thats fine aswell . just let me know . Now as far as what i have....i'll put some of the cds i've just gotten in latleyhere on the guest book other wise PlEASE FEEL FREE TO E - MAIL ME. with what you're looking for. i'll keep you guys updated as i get new things in , Thanks To Scott And Tom for keeping this site up and running , i guess this my contribution. LONG LIVE THE HARD 80'S C - Block 8/8/2007 1:24:58 AM
This is awesome!!!!!! How about some picture's of the old Groupies. Such as me and Lonnie playing "Mexican" and recording "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" on Steve's 4-Track in the bedroom of his apartment. Brad Digre 7/28/2007 6:41:12 AM
Sorry, Thomas....my mistake. Having looked at the video again it is indeed Berg. Your brain cells are still intact. Roy 7/25/2007 6:54:03 AM
Nice addition Thomas!! And no, you where not in a band called Mean Time, that is probably why you don't remember it. That was me, Brandon, Mike Berg and a singer from IA, don't remember his name off hand. Scott 7/23/2007 7:44:25 PM
OK, I FINALLY got my Koncept reunion 2006 photos off my digital camera and have uplodad them here. Better late than never... Tom 7/20/2007 9:10:12 PM
Mean Time? Was that what we called ourselves? I don't remember being called "Mean Time"... Have I had too many beers and lost too many brain cells??? Tom 7/20/2007 8:46:26 PM
Indeed, another Koncept reunion would rock, lets talk Chad into getting another plane ticket! Scott 7/15/2007 3:20:52 PM
I'm up for a Koncept reunion! Instead of the "Mean Machine", we could call our touring van the "Heft Machine"!!!! Yeah, the video is cool, it was a great weekend, and I'm surprised too that it likely was the best we ever sounded! Tony Pucci 7/13/2007 2:44:38 AM
Ah yes, Mean Time! Unfortunately taking care of the digital video would probably be my job (and Roys) and you may not be afraid of me now but you will be! By the way, is that tape the one that was recorded on the North Star video system, kinda goes through 2 differant angles and switches from color to black and white? Scott 6/18/2007 4:51:14 PM
Are you fuckers getting so damn old that you don't even remember all of the bands you've been in? I found an old VHS tape that Birdy recorded of Scott and Mighty Thomas with Brandon handling the vocals (that's right folks, 3 piece) from Adam's Benefit in a hall closet today. I know damn well I've never seen it before. All I can say is Scott, if you dare wear short shorts Nair with short shorts. Mean Time, people....Mean Time. So who does a guy gotta blow to get this bad boy converted to digital and uploaded? I hope to God it's not Lenny. Then again...... I'm not afraid of him. Roy 6/18/2007 2:44:06 PM

Yes and no Joe. I'm working in Rochester during the week for the Government but still living in Coon Rapids for now. Trying to sell the house but the market blows right now so haven't had much luck yet. Tom Salmon 6/7/2007 6:47:37 PM
Damn. That Koncept reunion stuff isn't half bad. How about a reunion tour boys? Tom 6/7/2007 6:44:46 PM
If anyone knows of a keyboard player and / or lead guitarist that is looking for a band please contact Tom or Scott through this site. Thanks! Scott 5/29/2007 7:17:16 AM
Just added some video from our Koncept reunion last December. Can't believe we remembered as much as we did - it had been 22 years since we last jammed. Scott 5/9/2007 10:14:42 PM
Thanks Jay! And I agree on the calander idea, that would rock, will have to see what webmaster Thomas has to say. Scott 5/3/2007 8:48:09 AM
I think it would be cool if this site had a calender to list upcoming gigs, BBQs, parties and any other forms of shameless self promotion. Speaking of shameless self promotion...........I'll be playing at the Star again this fri May 4. Roy 5/1/2007 4:47:12 PM

You know it bro - i'm a bad mo fo, so be gettin outa my grill or i be bustin a cap off in yo ass. Scott 4/27/2007 10:34:59 PM
Oh yeah....I'm playing @ the Rockin' Canadian Honker this Saturday 8:30-11:30 if anyone's interested in watching me get drunk and offend old people with inappropriate language. I believe they still serve Jager there. Joe Carey 4/26/2007 1:20:02 PM
Hey fellas, It's been awhile since I checked out this site. Am I reading into this right, Tom....are you living in Rochester now? And of course congrats Scott...I just sent you an e-mail. Also just found out that Matt moved to Arizona and had another wee tot! Shit....I'm outta the loop! What else is new? Scott...do you still listen to gangster rap?:) Joe Carey 4/26/2007 1:15:20 PM
Hey guys, if anyone is interested and in town friday my new band Stir will be playing at the Star. I won't be singing much but I will be pretending to play bass and making stupid faces. We'll be playing 93x type shit and, as I said before, we're new, so bring a paper to read, something to throw at us and a healthy hankerin' for alcohol, McDonald's french fries and automatic weapons. My son Cody is playing guitar with.....come check him out if nothing else. Roy 4/11/2007 1:33:09 PM
Finnaly added some stuff - some video footage of Tazmanian Angel from our one and only gig. Rochester Armory 04/28/89. Scott 4/7/2007 1:19:37 AM
Yes and no. I had 3 of Rock Centrals JBL wedges on a dolly and the top one fell off about half way down the ramp. The Rock Central dude that stacked the monitors bitched. Then he got bitched at by the owner of the Pony Express for dragging road cases across the newly refinished wood floor. I partied with Molly Hatchet's tour manager Jordan on the bus during the Brief's' and Austin Healey's sets...real cool dude. Roy 4/6/2007 5:51:39 AM
Speaking of memories of the Pony Express.... Roy, did'nt you drop one of Molly Hatchets monitors off of the truck ramp and get bitched at by their road manager? Scott 3/28/2007 11:12:19 AM
In other news...the Pony Express/Relay Station burned down the other night. Kinda sad. That place had long run of musical history before any of us were even born.I have lots of memories of going to see bands there when I was young, to working for other bands or playing there myself. Alot of these memories were with alot of you guys...... I remember it was always fun and always one helluva party. Roy 3/26/2007 9:09:44 PM
Thank you C-Block and Roy! And I hope your guess is correct on the band pages. Scott 3/25/2007 11:04:37 AM
Indeed. To re-work a quote a wize man (Marty ) once said to me when my last son was born, I'm lucky... I only have to worry about 2 dicks...you have to worry about the rest of 'em. Good luck with that. Welcome home Mighty Thomas. With you and Lenny in the same neck of the woods I have a sneaking suspicion we may see an addition to the Bands section of this site sometime in the future. We must drink!

C- Block 1/31/2007 3:06:47 PM
Awesome site Tom! All the pictures bring back tons of great memories of all the guys & some great times jammin' at my parents house. I've got a ton of pics of Oasis & Koncept that I'll have to get to you. I ran in to Schneids last weekend & he told me about the website. Do me a favor? Fix the spelling of my last name on the Koncept picture from my b-day party!! Hi to Tony, Chad, Jim, Scott if any of you are out there!! :-) Allison Suhler Hart 1/18/2007 8:03:31 PM
No Steve - You rock! Did you ever find the beer store?? I also had a deja-vu, is that how you spell it? Just this morning I was on my way to work and Pretty Maids "Future World" came on the Sirius Hair Nation channel - how cool is that??? That was the song that we used to stand on our hands next to the wall and head bang upside down to..... Scott 1/18/2007 6:28:57 PM
It's 12:20am and I've just dropped my girlfriend off at work - she works the trains - and I'm driving around Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada looking for a beer store. Beer stores are open until 1:00am. Lost in the city, searching for the beacon of saving light "Beer Store", S.O.D. comes on the radio (great radio stations in Winnipeg). Lost, driving, beer hunting I flash back to Curt Block and various other sea-lives head banging at some any-day-of-the-week party to Storm Troopers of Death. I laugh my ass off, smiling and remembering the cranking stereo, I'm sure Lenny was yelling "Hear that low end, that's what a kick drum should sound like." - as he's pounding his chest. I tried banging my head, but pulled a back muscle - the ravages of age. Steve Digre 1/17/2007 10:38:49 PM
Roy - did not know it was your b-day, or was not listening if you told me?? Was a very cool time though! As far as any physical impairments - that would be Matts fault! Happy B-Day!! Scott 1/9/2007 9:04:18 AM
Scott...why is it I always end up with bruised ribs? I swear, this has to be the 4th fucking time at least. You fuckers coming over was the best part of my birthday. And I'm still not afraid of you. RACER X Roy 1/8/2007 9:13:51 PM
Just put up some photos and mp3's from our Koncept reunion last weekend. Koncept was our band in late Jr. high school and early high school, was so cool to see and jam with guys that we have not seen in over 20 years! To the rest of Koncept.... Cheers! Scott 12/22/2006 4:23:08 PM
You wouldnt happen to have a pair of elf boots to go with those spandex would you?? Scott 11/7/2006 7:43:24 PM
Hi Miranda! Glad you like the site. I still have a pair of vintage '86 leopard skin spandex around somewhere if you want to borrow them some time. Tom Salmon 11/6/2006 6:59:53 PM
Thomas, Had a great time at Kari's B-day party and the N. Star afterwards (at least I think I did from what I remember!!). It was good to see you as always. Don't forget to email those photos to Scott and Horse. I meant to mail them to Scott and remembered to bring them for the party instead. I know he'd at least wanna see them and I know that Horse wanted some of them too. Let me know if and where you posted the pix if you do. Until next time............... Jay 11/6/2006 5:41:03 AM
so yeah uncle Tom, you rock! love the site! i remember seeing a flyer or something about "Hot PInk" when i was like 3. i also remember...cause you just can't forget...those leopard skin-tight stretch pants. haha. AND i have "The Stuff" self-titled album on my ipod cause i'm a long-haired-head-banger at heart. love, randa miranda salmon 11/3/2006 6:50:02 PM
I just watched all five instalments of Kid Whiplash, and could not tell who was talking when. You all sounded the same. What was that accent that you were doing?? You guys still RAWK!! Biff Biff Malibu 10/30/2006 1:23:57 PM
The video clips that I just put on are the load out - load in - set up - and getting ready the day of our first Kid Whiplash show on June 9th 1988. Had to break it into 5 parts, even that way it takes a little bit to buffer but there are some good clips in there. Scott 10/27/2006 9:26:15 PM
Now that is the Scott I was waiting to hear from!!!!! I thought Biff was a Rod Stewart look-alike who always showed up everywhere alone and was always way too tan. I don't know. I may have not done my share of the drinking that night but I know you did MORE than your share of the talking. Ha!!! See ya in the alley......... Joe Carey 10/20/2006 1:37:13 PM
Biff is actually Jay Wells, or at least that is where we heard it from - the deck we where on was Kevins - no, you probably did not do your share of the drinkin - and we can talk about Nascar sometime soon..... maybe this Sat. night? In the alley behind the bar??? Scott 10/19/2006 9:47:28 PM
Touche!!! Joe Carey 10/19/2006 5:49:20 AM
If you drank all night with Scott and recall a lot of the conversation... ...you weren't doin' your share of the drinkin'. Roy 10/18/2006 10:55:14 PM
I meant this Saturday, Oct. 21st.......sorry!!!!!!! Oh....and Nascar is STILL for pussies:) Joe Carey 10/18/2006 4:22:47 PM
Tom and Scott, I just thought of that night we went to the afterbar following a Guys Downstairs gig @ Ed's Attic. Scott, it was the first night I met you. Anyway we drank all night on some dude's deck and then played frisbee golf. But I recall a lot of the conversation that night was about a character named Biff Malibu. What was his story...was he in a band, or just naturally a tool? I don't suppose he has made his way into any photos? By the way I'm doing an acoustic gig @ the Canadian Honker this Sat., Oct. 18th.....oh...and Scott....Nascar is for pussies:) Joe Carey 10/18/2006 4:19:40 PM
Roy, If your still looking to go on Sat get ahold of me. I will be back from Brainerd early enough to get down to Roch and put a few away with you. To bad Scott's to busy with his Nascar. We could also head down to the NorthStar for some flashbacks. Dennis 10/8/2006 1:18:29 PM
Will probably not be able to make it that night, have a Nascar night race event going on, will have to see what time that gets over with, could possibly make it out later? Scott 10/5/2006 12:20:51 PM
I'm not afraid of you. Are you up for checking out Brandon's band on the 14th? Roy 10/4/2006 7:23:23 PM
Sounds like someone needs to skip across the carpet on their head............ again :) Scott 10/4/2006 11:48:26 AM
Can't believe you put a cute little smiley at the end of you post...wussy. Roy 10/3/2006 5:46:22 PM
Can't believe you used the word "mint" .... :) Scott 10/3/2006 10:07:55 AM
I downloaded these to my iPod. Boggin sounds awesome cranked on the iPod. I highly recommend it. These songs are better than I remember. I haven't listened to them in a long time. No Steve had nice production on these. And yes, Brandon's leads/riffs/everything sounds mint. We weren't half bad... They hold up nicely. Roy, I would love to join you for cocktails but I play that night also. I'll just have to buy one of Brandon's CDs instead. Brandon, how can I get one? Tom Salmon 10/1/2006 8:56:55 AM
I love Brandon's leads, especially in "Could Be Wrong". Speaking of originals and Brandon, his band Spindrift is having a cd release party Sat. Oct. 14 at Mickey's Irish Saloon ( by Barlow's in Roch). Anyone care to join me for a couple of cocktails? Roy 9/30/2006 4:29:38 PM
Damn... I forgot how good those Gangster Holiday originals were. Very cool. Tom Salmon 9/29/2006 7:17:50 PM
Added a bunch of stuff. Kid Whiplash press and promo stuff, some Gangster Holiday items, some Stuff, Guys Downstairs, Tazmanian Angel, Koncept, Tony Kamona. Tom Salmon 9/8/2006 9:51:06 PM
I was in Ratts Come......? I have no recollection of that...... Good thing Rob never drank or partook in any extracurricular activities or I may never have been a part of it.....if I was. Marc Dickhut 9/8/2006 7:43:47 AM
The madness is here. How the hell is everyone. Love the site. I'll write more after I sift through the site. Cheers - Marc Marc Dickhut 9/8/2006 7:37:10 AM
I am very honored to have a small piec of this site! I will start to dig into things and see what I have very soon! Rob Nassif 9/8/2006 7:06:12 AM
INDEED! Scott 9/7/2006 9:51:43 PM
All right guys...All right guys...All right guys... I added a Ratts Come a Runnin band section. Let the madness begin. Tom Salmon 9/7/2006 7:30:35 PM
Hey, Dudes. I added some pics in the Bad Habit section. It was looking a little lonely. Roy 9/3/2006 7:58:22 AM
Who remembers the rules for Mexican? All I remember is 21. If you remember, please send me an email with the rules. Dennis 9/2/2006 6:52:53 PM
The site is very enjoyable I hope it grows. I have many of the fliers for the shows we did as well as press clippings . The six photos for the hhurricaine alice show I took. I actually only recently developed them as I have taken so many show photos thru the years. This group was certainly one of the finest I've worked with. Right up there with LEX LUTHER and THE BLONDES. This group was a serious show to see and hear. may we do it again sometime. Bird joel lovejoy (bird) 8/31/2006 11:08:16 PM
They are opening a new pizza joint in Rochester, Little Ceasars. Does anybody need another job? Pizza Pizza! Dennis 8/30/2006 6:43:10 PM
Hey thanks for invited me to the get together in Mpls this past weekend. Christ even Woolman there and he didnt tell me! I wanted to pull a really good memory out of ass and all I could think is how hard I was laughing that night Curt did "big dumb and crazy" you can hear me on the song I fell to the floor and was unable to go on any further. By the way an "asspump" is what you use to remember really funny shit like that! Rob 8/28/2006 5:29:01 PM
Hate to tell you Roy, It was gone 20 mins after the show started. Scotts brother Matt saw it, we laughed all night because of it! That and the fact that Scott couldn't keep a strait face whenever he looked at you! Dennis 8/27/2006 2:51:09 PM
I hope there aren't any pics of that night, Dennis. Not only did Lenny's amp blow, my fly blew sometime during the course of the night as well. God only knows how long my zipper was gaping open. I 'spose the only reason Scott didn't tell me about was maybe he was hoping it would attract some chicks! Roy 8/27/2006 1:19:29 PM
Does anybody have any Pics or video of the show at Schooner's? Was Valentines Day, and the night Lenny blew his amp up! Tom, don't forget to use the underscore! Dennis 8/27/2006 9:22:14 AM
Coma! Hey, the email address you used to register is bouncing. Can you send me a valid email address. Tom Salmon 8/27/2006 7:47:56 AM
Nothing was worse than having to sleep in the honeymoon suite with Rick and curt at the Armory show in Austin! Anybody been put on the ceiling lately? U-Dick rules! Dennis 8/26/2006 7:15:15 PM
Indeed, Curt! That night was a blast. Talk about pulling lyrics out of your ass (no pun intended) or anyone's ass for that matter. Just thinking about those sessions is making me thirsty. I need a new copy of that shit...and a cocktail. Roy 8/26/2006 4:28:23 PM
Thomas, I Am Still Tryin' To Figure out What A Ass Pump Is .... And How You Start SomeOne With It????....LOL, Don't Ask How I Came Up With That Nifty Lyric , Pure Brilliance Thats What I Say, Thanks For Making It One Of Your Funnier Songs P.S. Maybe A mp3 Will Demostrate Our Point?? BIG, dUm, CraZyyy Curtis Lowe 8/26/2006 1:36:24 PM
Don't forget "Flush It". Classics indeed! "Big, Dumb, and Crazy" has to be the funniest song I've ever heard in my life...and I'm not just saying that. I'm just waiting for NoSteve and Rob to send me some info and we'll get it up...literally! Tom Salmon 8/25/2006 7:51:09 PM
Holy Shit!!!!!.......Rats Come Runnin' How in The F@ #k Did We Forget About That Mega Project .... " SUICIDE IS PAINLESS" My Throat Still Hurts From Screaming Those Imortal Words, Get It On The First Take Digre.... Enough Said Yours Truly, BIG , dUmb, AND Always Crazzzzy Curtis Lowe 8/25/2006 1:00:13 PM
Really enjoyed your show last night in St. Paul Joe. You guys sounded REALLY good! And it was good to have a beer with No Steve again! And Ben, it was good seeing you again. A very good time indeed. Tom Salmon 8/24/2006 7:32:34 PM
Start pullin' that muscle, No Steve. I have a Watercolor Sky CARLOS Boys pass in pristine condition! Roy 8/24/2006 3:43:11 PM
Pyro still makes me nervous! But then again, me helping with sound sometimes makes the soundman nervous. Scott 8/24/2006 7:48:26 AM
LISTEN UP MOTHER FUCKERS! Nothing has changed! I will be back soon with some shit that will make DIGREEEEE pull a muscle! Rob Nassif 8/23/2006 6:02:04 PM
If anyone can locate WatercolorSky and the other back-stage passes Rob Nassif and Steve Digre created, I think I would pull a major muscle if I saw those again. Man we worked late hours on those. ALSO, lest we forget RATTS COME A RUNNIN'. I think everyone on this page was involved with that project. Rob even had concepts of free gum and crackers with a cassette tape purchase. Definetly not getting any work done today. Steve Digre 8/23/2006 10:20:45 AM
Okay, this is a trip down memory lane. Smiles and great memories. I remember Kobble-ween - the Kid Whiplash gig at Mayo Civic where Lenny, the budding sound engineer bassist, assisted with various Kobble duties (Kobbling the monitor system) and Lenny missed the entire briefing on when and where the pyro-tech was going off. The look on Lenny's face when he missed the entire briefing. Read James Hetfield in Toronto. Thanks for the sound assistance Lenny. Steve Digre 8/23/2006 10:14:20 AM
Tonis, OUTSTANDING contribution! Great photos of the Randy Williams party on Marion Road! Didn't think there were any of those around. I totally forgot about a couple things you put up until I saw them just now. The Koncept in the Kornfield blew my mind for a minute. I forgot we did that. What a cool shot! And the church talent show deal, I still only vaguely remember that even with the pictures. What songs did we play at that? The "End of Summer" section I have out there was for the show we did at Scott's house on his front porch. It was at the end of August in '83 the last week of summer before school started. Remember? It was a spur of the moment thing where we just decided to do it. That's different than the two at Jim's (although I forgot about the first one at Jim's until you mentioned it). That's right, we did a toga party thing at the first one, then Farm Rock was later on, in September, as I recall. Anyway, great photos. It is so fun to see these ones you've never seen before. Tom Salmon 8/13/2006 10:01:22 AM
OK Yogis, Hefts and Lennys...I've uploaded the great majority of photos that I have from back in the day. There might be one or two more floating around that I have yet to find. Now I need to work on digitizing some of the old cassettes! Tom--Koncept did two shows at Jim's in 83, an "end of school" gig in his front yard, and "Farm Rock" in his back yard. I think you've got a "end of school" photo in the wrong section. Aren't there any more Farm Rock photos?!!?! That was a big party, I hope some more show up. I just remember it being really cold, I could hardly move my fingers, and the bonfire was clear across the backyard.... Cheers! Tony Pucci Tony Pucci 8/13/2006 2:18:26 AM
Added a "Sleepover at Scott's" photo section to the Koncept page. I've got more of these at home, including some of Lenny and Rick Schnieder too, I believe. Actually, I have a bunch of Koncept photos (not so sure about Oasis, but I'll see)...and I have a few photos from (didn't know it was the only one until I just read it now) Wrathchild's only gig out at that party on Marion Road by the Hwy. 52 overpass (whose house was that?!?!). Got a pic or two of Chris Schneider at that gig...I think that was about the biggest party that summer! Tony Pucci 8/12/2006 5:28:25 AM
Added "Psycho Groove" band section. We are looking for your help in locating a photo to use for this band homepage (circa 1992). If anyone has a photo you can share, please upload it to the photo gallery or email it to us at files@rhythmrock.com. Thanks! Tom Salmon 8/8/2006 8:08:23 PM
Oh by the way, Brandon (if you ever read this), I checked out the Gangster Holiday pics and I already knew that you had long hair back in the day but holy shit!!!!!!! Joe Carey 8/5/2006 10:05:43 PM
Scott, Didn't get your reply until now. I had an early gig in Eden Prairie that got done at 9:30, then stopped for a few on the way home. One of these days............... Joe Carey 8/5/2006 10:00:36 PM
Joe - how about an hour from now?? Scott 8/5/2006 8:04:55 PM
Very cool site boys!!! Looking forward to whatever else you put on here. I'm going to try and find some old party photos that you may want to put on here and then mail them to Scott (I know I told you I would do that a long time ago, Tom -- sorry). Hopefully, they'll be of some use to you. Jay Lyngaas 8/5/2006 10:39:51 AM
Scott, When are you coming up to the cities for a fine bottle of Jag? Joe Carey 8/5/2006 10:29:30 AM
Hello Kevin Anderson, are you out there? I wanted to let you know I uploaded the lone two photos that I have of you "back in the day" (i.e. 1984). You'll find them under Koncept in the "Practice" and "Mayo High School Friday Entertainment" sections. Enjoy. Do you have any photos from this era or the later Hot Pink era? Let me know. Tom Salmon 8/5/2006 9:17:42 AM
Fellow former Oasis members: I found some 1982 photos of band practice and added them into the Oasis band section. That's about all I can find for Oasis stuff. I hope some of you guys have some things to add. Take it easy! Tom Salmon 8/5/2006 9:14:41 AM
Good call Joey - Never noticed it before, but it kinda does look like I'm peein on Uncle Daddy Jimmy, Thanks for making making sure everyone can see that. Scott 8/4/2006 11:37:07 PM
Scott and Joe, I updated the Sister Doris homepage with the new photo. Another cool "band in alley" shot. Tom Salmon 8/4/2006 5:46:03 PM
Scott, I uploaded the promo shot that we used for Sister Doris. You know.......the one where it looks like you're taking a piss? Joe Joe Carey 8/4/2006 7:51:02 AM
Schneids! Very cool to hear from you! Also Weez and L.D.S. hopefully you will find some old things to add to the archives! By the way, am uploading some Kid Whiplash video stuff as I write this so anyone interested check it out. Also, if anyone adds material to the site it would be great to leave a message in the guestbook of what you put up so we don't miss anything! Scott 8/1/2006 6:19:03 PM
Tom - Small world, indeed... Brandon and I had known each other for a # of years prior to becoming band mates. We always had an interest in jamming together, although it seemed like the right opportunity never surfaced. Finally a couple years ago my last project disbanded and Brandon was putting Spindrift together. We hooked up and have never looked back since. I'm guessing my Mom has some photo's in her archives. I will see if I can come up with something to post. I know she has some from pre Oasis days - when we used to put on air band shows in Ken Baker's driveway. Chris Schneider 8/1/2006 2:15:23 PM
Hey Schneids! Long time no see! It's a small world (I played with Brandon back in 91-92). I'll definately have to make a trip down to see your band. He mentioned he had a "Chris Schneider" in his band and I figured it must be you. I haven't ran into many from those days either. I spoke with Tony last year (it had been over 10 years since I last spoke with him). He and Ken work together. I know they've been on the site as Tony emailed me last night. I have a picture of you and I together in Cub scouts I'll throw up in the Oasis section. Do you have any old Oasis photos you can contribute to the site? Tom Salmon 8/1/2006 10:31:22 AM
Hi Weez, yes, please put up whatever you have. We don't have much Kid Whiplash stuff. Rick gave us the one we're using on that band page. Somehow, we didn't take many pictures of those days. Looking forward to seeing what you have! Scott, do you have the Mayo Civic show on video? Tom Salmon 8/1/2006 10:26:20 AM
Tom/Scott - Brandon Messmer recently turned me on to your site... Holy balls, I am having flashbacks!!! Not sure if I'll be able to focus on work today. Memories of the Oasis garage band days and all the crazy times we used to have are ringing through my head. I occasionally run into Ernie Nelson here in Roch, and I saw Amy Blee at our class reunion last summer. Otherwise I really haven't run into a soul from this era. Glad to hear you haven't lost touch with your musical roots. My resume isn't as long as yours, but I have played actively over the years. Shoot me an email, I'd love to catch up with you guys. Schneids Chris Schneider 8/1/2006 7:28:54 AM
Great site Tom........I can dig thru and contribute some more Kid Whiplash stuff if you want? I do have a video from the Mayo Civic show...not sure if you want it or not. Let me know. Wow, what memories. Keep it going.. Weezie 8/1/2006 6:12:42 AM
Curtis Lowe! You are not wrong, you should and will be listed. This site is still a work in progress with updates to come. Sorry I didn't get this done before launch, there was just so much to do. You were a part of so many of the bands that I need some help from you. I sent you an email about this. Read it over and check back in. Tom Salmon 8/1/2006 5:35:26 AM
I could have swore i was a part of the crew in a few of these bands, but i guess i could be wrong ?????????? , oh well . so much for the history and the monitor board!!!! L. D. S. 7/31/2006 10:54:20 PM
Oh, my god, how pretty were you boys ???? how much money have you saved on hair spray and eye liner??? love it all makes me smile SHERRIE 7/14/2006 7:59:00 AM
Laughed???? Are you kidding??? Spandex is Cool !!!!! :) Scott 7/6/2006 11:04:49 AM
Well well well, aren't you guys just the hottest guys in the world. Those are some sexy photos. That is how I remember you guys. Thanks for the laugh, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Chasity 7/5/2006 2:28:31 PM
It was a Rob Nassif thing, just the wrong time frame. Steve Digre was involved also. Could be that the CARLOS BOYS name was from Kid Whiplash days but the laminates weren't made until just before the Molly Hatchet show if I remember right. I'm wearing one in one of the Mirage photos. There were CARLOS BOYS crew shirts as well by the time we did Pfaff's R.E.O show at the fairgrounds. I miss my Carlos shirt. (sniff) Roy 7/3/2006 11:28:30 PM
No sh!t! We both thought that was a Rob Nasif thing from Kid Whiplash. Thanks for the correction. Tom Salmon 7/3/2006 11:11:57 PM
Tom, the CARLOS BOYS All Access Passes listed under Kid Whlplash are from the Gangster Holiday era. Carlos Boys was the Road Crew for the Bob Pfaff promoted shows and should almost be treated as a separate group like a band. Still got my pass hanging in the closet :) Roy 7/3/2006 4:25:37 PM
Awesome Roy! Those are some great shots. I don't remember ever seeing those before. Looking forward to seeing the rest. Very cool indeed. Tom Salmon 7/3/2006 11:30:41 AM
Mighty Thomas, Yes, that photo was with Hericane Alice. That was taken at The Pony Express. More to come. Roy 7/2/2006 11:11:31 PM
Roy, was that Hurricane Alice we were warming up for in that photo? Where was that at? North Star, Ryan's, Mirage? Tom Salmon 7/2/2006 9:36:56 PM

HEFT!!!!! Cool runnin' into Tom at Barnes & Noble last week. We indeed need to give Rick Schneider more credit....didn't he and someone else get busted ripping off floodlights for our prehistoric light shows?!!? I feel sooooo guilty, I indeed have many Oasis and Koncept tapes not yet on this site. As I told Tom, I'm working on some of my old solo cassette material (digitizing it, search for "Tony Pucci" at LastFM.com), but after that I'll turn my attention towards this fer y'all! I found my '83 Mount Olive tape the other day, so after blaming Scott for losing it for the last 25 years (haha!), I'll have to now admit publicly that I'm supremely unorganized! YOGI!!!

Hello all. I came across this site while looking up some info on old Rochester bands. I honestly don't think I've heard any of these bands live, and don't believe I've met Tom or Scott. But I seem to know or have met quite a lot of your former bandmates from over the years. This is a great site guys, well done.
Abe
8/4/2008 11:47:01 AM

Ok, I am only a bit disappointed to be left out of so much of the late eighties part of this thing. I was a drummer in a band with Scott and Tony for about two practices when Koncept was on a hiatus. Then Stryker got to gether again and wanted you guys to play and Tom was back in the seat for the rest of the ride. I want some recognition for 'Finding hundreds of flood lost in backyards and schools for the lighting system." I look forward to finding some photos from the chicken hatchery days on hear. Scott, I still can't sleep well after hearing the bass line from Black Sabbath. I'll be back to see what's going on. As for me I working with glass and teaching at the University of South Alabama in Mobile on the gulf coast. Any of you coming down to New Orleans should hit me up. I'm about two hours from there.

6/6/2008 9:57:50 AM

I hope that station can survive through Aug. I haven't had the radio on since KNAC 105.5 Pure Rock died. It would be nice not to have to charge my mp3 player every day while we're there.
Bri
5/14/2008 5:04:30 PM

By the way, Tom, the twin cities' radio situation isn't THAT much better than Rochester's...it's mostly dominated by ultra-pop and pussy rock (the line between them is often blurred) with a LITTLE bit of classic rock (Skynnard every hour) and hard rock (a rotation of about 4-5 bands). Thank god for iPods!! :) Nonetheless...I see your point...so what's the new Rochester station like?

I once attended a wedding where some midget road crew members dressed as pirates showed up. Those motherfuckers are FIERCE!!!! I tried to pet one of them on the head because he was so cute and he nearly bit my balls off!!! Anyway, I'm playing a solo show @ the Break Room this Wed., May 14th...starting @ 9:30 pm...two 60 minute sets...no cover. I had to cancel the last show w/ Brandon Messmer due to illness/loss of voice...oh well, what is a muthafucka to do? Hope to see ya.

Hey, guys! Come down to the Star this Saturday, May 10 to show support for Rochester's new ROCK station,,,ZROCK 107.7. STIR will be hosting the party. The Bud Girls will be there from 8-10 introducing the new Bud Light Lime, there's 50 cent 12 oz. tap beers from 9-10, and cool prizes and giveaways throughout the evening. Unfortunately, I never did line up the midget road crew dressed as pirates. (I was really looking forward to seeing the little showers of sparks as their sword tips dragged across the floor). Guess I'll have to settle for some crazy drunk fuckers instead. I wonder where a guy could find a few of those? Hmmmmm....

The new station does show some promise. They are operating on a shoestring budget at this point, with no commercials for about 2 weeks, and no DJs for the first 2 or 3 months. I'm in the process of organizing a sort of coming out party for the station at our May 10 gig at the Star. Sort of a Rochester's hardest rockin' station at Rochester's hardest rockin' bar with one of Rochester's rockin' bands type deal, with give aways and such. I'm hoping to line up the Jagermeister or Captain Morgan girls to appear (does anybody know where I can get a midget road crew dressed as pirates?). I'll let you know if it all pans out. Shameless plug time: I will be at the Star this fri playing with STIR. Stop in if you're out and about.

Hey guys, Just wanted to let you know that I will be reuniting with former Loft band mate Brandon Badass Messmer for a one-time acoustic performance @ the Break Room in Rochester on Wed., Feb. 27th starting at 9:30 pm...there's no cover. We'll be playing some of my tunes, some of his, a few old Loft songs, and maybe a few funky-ass covers. Our pay is based on a percentage of bar sales...so please come and drink until you throw up!!! Speaking of throwing up...sorry I missed your birthday party, Scott. I played until 11:30 and I just assumed that you had already vomitted your four wine coolers and passed out by then...much like a high school girl!! Maybe next year, Tiger! Later, Joe

Crap, you're turning my own singer against me. You won't push it back two months just for me? Don't you know guitar player trumps rhythm section even if you add a singer? :) There's no way I can come in June. Not even for you guys. Amberlyn is still in school at that time as well and she refuses to fly. Somebody better video tape the whole thing. Scott, Isn't that supposed to be my line? Peavey's aren't as bad as they were back in the day. They finally discovered tubes! I'll stick with Carvin. Bogner Ubershall if you twist my arm. Happy B-day old fart.

Curt, I had forgotten about you not wanting to play Will's. That was the closest thing to a gig we had even though it was closer to what Jim's place was supposed to be. It's a shame Storm never could get all the pieces together at the same time. We were at our best when it ended. Over a grand for The Stuff CD. I wonder what I could get for a pickup used in Rick Stack's guitar:) I wish we had a Kid Whiplash CD. Scott, I'd love to see a KW reunion, especially since I never got to watch the show back in the day. Michelle is still teaching in June. We'll probably be back in mid August.

Hey Brian! Good to hear from you! Yes, you should be listed in the Kid Whiplash area, that would be Tom's area but I am sure he will take care of it when he reads your message. Speaking of Kid Whiplash, I have been talking with Rick and Tom, we are starting to plan a 20 year reunion on or around June 9th of this year, that is 20 years from the first KW show. You should make plans to come back for a visit then!

Hey all, Just stumbled onto this site. Way cool trip down memory lane. I'll need to find time to see it all. Don't I get a crew credit for being Rick's tech for the first three KW shows? It all started when my space brother sent me back home to grab my slide. When I was about to grab just the slide, I got a feeling he'd need the guitar too. Dashed back to the show and after some drama at the door I went to give Curt my slide. I ended up having to fix Rick's guitar that he fell on while heading to the stage. I think it was Dealer he had to play with my Bich while I tuned his backup guitar. Since Storm was over (Jim was sick of metal, and we were all sick of making Curt sandwiches to keep him from quiting) and I was leaving town, I stayed on as Rick's tech for the Austin and 4H shows. I'm just getting back to playing. I'm at the 3 month mark of a possible 6 month wait for my Jackson USA Kelly. I still have the Bich.

Hello to all , wanted to throw something a tad off the wall out there in Rhythm Rock land, for the past few weeks i've been digging through my cd collection wich at this point is getting ridiculous and started noticing all the really cool hard rock and metal cds from the 80's that i've collected over the past few years . I also sarted to notice that a ton of this stuff is getting damn hard to obtain.... so i started thinking , it would be really cool to share this stuff with fellow 80's rockers out there and give you guys in Rhythm Rock land a chance to enjoy these great bands as well.I mean it's not fair for me to boggart all of the killer out of print stuff is it??? well i did pay for it...lol, in the past i've recived requests for copys of some of my stuff and it got me thinking ( wich rarely happens) WHY NOT SHARE!!!!. so if you're intrested in getting copys of anything from the 80's mainstream or a tad deep please send me a e- mail at curtisblock@hmtel.com , i'm thinking a cdr copy or a mp3 through e-mail or msn messenger if you want a cdr copy i will remaster the levels for you ( i.e. bring the levels up to 0db) because some of this 80s stuff sounds good its just quiet. and then mail you the cdr . if you want full cds no problem , a mix cd of your favorite tunes ..no problem maybe just a few songs thats fine aswell . just let me know . Now as far as what i have....i'll put some of the cds i've just gotten in latleyhere on the guest book other wise PlEASE FEEL FREE TO E - MAIL ME. with what you're looking for. i'll keep you guys updated as i get new things in , Thanks To Scott And Tom for keeping this site up and running , i guess this my contribution.

By the way, is that tape the one that was recorded on the North Star video system, kinda goes through 2 differant angles and switches from color to black and white?
Scott
6/18/2007 4:51:14 PM

Are you fuckers getting so damn old that you don't even remember all of the bands you've been in? I found an old VHS tape that Birdy recorded of Scott and Mighty Thomas with Brandon handling the vocals (that's right folks, 3 piece) from Adam's Benefit in a hall closet today. I know damn well I've never seen it before. All I can say is Scott, if you dare wear short shorts Nair with short shorts. Mean Time, people....Mean Time. So who does a guy gotta blow to get this bad boy converted to digital and uploaded? I hope to God it's not Lenny. Then again...... I'm not afraid of him.

Webmaster Thomas has been too damn busy lately. Calendar idea is cool though. I'll put it on the list.
Tom
6/7/2007 6:49:02 PM

Yes and no Joe. I'm working in Rochester during the week for the Government but still living in Coon Rapids for now. Trying to sell the house but the market blows right now so haven't had much luck yet.

Damn. That Koncept reunion stuff isn't half bad. How about a reunion tour boys?
Tom

If anyone knows of a keyboard player and / or lead guitarist that is looking for a band please contact Tom or Scott through this site. Thanks!
Scott

Just added some video from our Koncept reunion last December. Can't believe we remembered as much as we did - it had been 22 years since we last jammed.
Scott
5/9/2007 10:14:42 PM

Thanks Jay! And I agree on the calander idea, that would rock, will have to see what webmaster Thomas has to say.
Scott
5/3/2007 8:48:09 AM

I think it would be cool if this site had a calender to list upcoming gigs, BBQs, parties and any other forms of shameless self promotion. Speaking of shameless self promotion...........I'll be playing at the Star again this fri May 4.

Oh yeah....I'm playing @ the Rockin' Canadian Honker this Saturday 8:30-11:30 if anyone's interested in watching me get drunk and offend old people with inappropriate language. I believe they still serve Jager there.
Joe Carey
4/26/2007 1:20:02 PM

Hey fellas, It's been awhile since I checked out this site. Am I reading into this right, Tom....are you living in Rochester now? And of course congrats Scott...I just sent you an e-mail. Also just found out that Matt moved to Arizona and had another wee tot! Shit....I'm outta the loop! What else is new? Scott...do you still listen to gangster rap?:)
Joe Carey
4/26/2007 1:15:20 PM

Hey guys, if anyone is interested and in town friday my new band Stir will be playing at the Star. I won't be singing much but I will be pretending to play bass and making stupid faces. We'll be playing 93x type shit and, as I said before, we're new, so bring a paper to read, something to throw at us and a healthy hankerin' for alcohol, McDonald's french fries and automatic weapons. My son Cody is playing guitar with.....come check him out if nothing else.
Roy
4/11/2007 1:33:09 PM

Finnaly added some stuff - some video footage of Tazmanian Angel from our one and only gig. Rochester Armory 04/28/89.
Scott
4/7/2007 1:19:37 AM

Yes and no. I had 3 of Rock Centrals JBL wedges on a dolly and the top one fell off about half way down the ramp. The Rock Central dude that stacked the monitors bitched. Then he got bitched at by the owner of the Pony Express for dragging road cases across the newly refinished wood floor. I partied with Molly Hatchet's tour manager Jordan on the bus during the Brief's' and Austin Healey's sets...real cool dude.
Roy
4/6/2007 5:51:39 AM

Speaking of memories of the Pony Express.... Roy, did'nt you drop one of Molly Hatchets monitors off of the truck ramp and get bitched at by their road manager?
Scott
3/28/2007 11:12:19 AM

In other news...the Pony Express/Relay Station burned down the other night. Kinda sad. That place had long run of musical history before any of us were even born.I have lots of memories of going to see bands there when I was young, to working for other bands or playing there myself. Alot of these memories were with alot of you guys...... I remember it was always fun and always one helluva party.
Roy
3/26/2007 9:09:44 PM

Thank you C-Block and Roy! And I hope your guess is correct on the band pages.
Scott
3/25/2007 11:04:37 AM

Indeed. To re-work a quote a wize man (Marty ) once said to me when my last son was born, I'm lucky... I only have to worry about 2 dicks...you have to worry about the rest of 'em. Good luck with that. Welcome home Mighty Thomas. With you and Lenny in the same neck of the woods I have a sneaking suspicion we may see an addition to the Bands section of this site sometime in the future. We must drink! Roy

Awesome site Tom! All the pictures bring back tons of great memories of all the guys & some great times jammin' at my parents house. I've got a ton of pics of Oasis & Koncept that I'll have to get to you. I ran in to Schneids last weekend & he told me about the website. Do me a favor? Fix the spelling of my last name on the Koncept picture from my b-day party!! Hi to Tony, Chad, Jim, Scott if any of you are out there!! :-)

1/18/2007 8:03:31 PM

No Steve - You rock! Did you ever find the beer store?? I also had a deja-vu, is that how you spell it? Just this morning I was on my way to work and Pretty Maids "Future World" came on the Sirius Hair Nation channel - how cool is that??? That was the song that we used to stand on our hands next to the wall and head bang upside down to.....
Scott
1/18/2007 6:28:57 PM

It's 12:20am and I've just dropped my girlfriend off at work - she works the trains - and I'm driving around Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada looking for a beer store. Beer stores are open until 1:00am. Lost in the city, searching for the beacon of saving light "Beer Store", S.O.D. comes on the radio (great radio stations in Winnipeg). Lost, driving, beer hunting I flash back to Curt Block and various other sea-lives head banging at some any-day-of-the-week party to Storm Troopers of Death. I laugh my ass off, smiling and remembering the cranking stereo, I'm sure Lenny was yelling "Hear that low end, that's what a kick drum should sound like." - as he's pounding his chest. I tried banging my head, but pulled a back muscle - the ravages of age.
Steve Digre
1/17/2007 10:38:49 PM

Roy
1/8/2007 9:13:51 PM

Just put up some photos and mp3's from our Koncept reunion last weekend. Koncept was our band in late Jr. high school and early high school, was so cool to see and jam with guys that we have not seen in over 20 years! To the rest of Koncept.... Cheers!

You wouldnt happen to have a pair of elf boots to go with those spandex would you??

Hi Miranda! Glad you like the site. I still have a pair of vintage '86 leopard skin spandex around somewhere if you want to borrow them some time.
Tom Salmon
11/6/2006 6:59:53 PM

Thomas, Had a great time at Kari's B-day party and the N. Star afterwards (at least I think I did from what I remember!!). It was good to see you as always. Don't forget to email those photos to Scott and Horse. I meant to mail them to Scott and remembered to bring them for the party instead. I know he'd at least wanna see them and I know that Horse wanted some of them too. Let me know if and where you posted the pix if you do. Until next time...............

I just watched all five instalments of Kid Whiplash, and could not tell who was talking when. You all sounded the same. What was that accent that you were doing?? You guys still RAWK!! Biff
Biff Malibu
10/30/2006 1:23:57 PM

The video clips that I just put on are the load out - load in - set up - and getting ready the day of our first Kid Whiplash show on June 9th 1988. Had to break it into 5 parts, even that way it takes a little bit to buffer but there are some good clips in there.
Scott
10/27/2006 9:26:15 PM

Now that is the Scott I was waiting to hear from!!!!! I thought Biff was a Rod Stewart look-alike who always showed up everywhere alone and was always way too tan. I don't know. I may have not done my share of the drinking that night but I know you did MORE than your share of the talking. Ha!!! See ya in the alley.........
Joe Carey
10/20/2006 1:37:13 PM

Biff is actually Jay Wells, or at least that is where we heard it from - the deck we where on was Kevins - no, you probably did not do your share of the drinkin - and we can talk about Nascar sometime soon..... maybe this Sat. night? In the alley behind the bar???
Scott
10/19/2006 9:47:28 PM

Touche!!!
Joe Carey
10/19/2006 5:49:20 AM

If you drank all night with Scott and recall a lot of the conversation... ...you weren't doin' your share of the drinkin'.
Roy
10/18/2006 10:55:14 PM

I meant this Saturday, Oct. 21st.......sorry!!!!!!! Oh....and Nascar is STILL for pussies:)
Joe Carey
10/18/2006 4:22:47 PM

Tom and Scott, I just thought of that night we went to the afterbar following a Guys Downstairs gig @ Ed's Attic. Scott, it was the first night I met you. Anyway we drank all night on some dude's deck and then played frisbee golf. But I recall a lot of the conversation that night was about a character named Biff Malibu. What was his story...was he in a band, or just naturally a tool? I don't suppose he has made his way into any photos? By the way I'm doing an acoustic gig @ the Canadian Honker this Sat., Oct. 18th.....oh...and Scott....Nascar is for pussies:)
Joe Carey
10/18/2006 4:19:40 PM

Roy, If your still looking to go on Sat get ahold of me. I will be back from Brainerd early enough to get down to Roch and put a few away with you. To bad Scott's to busy with his Nascar. We could also head down to the NorthStar for some flashbacks.
Dennis
10/8/2006 1:18:29 PM

Will probably not be able to make it that night, have a Nascar night race event going on, will have to see what time that gets over with, could possibly make it out later?

10/3/2006 10:07:55 AM

I downloaded these to my iPod. Boggin sounds awesome cranked on the iPod. I highly recommend it. These songs are better than I remember. I haven't listened to them in a long time. No Steve had nice production on these. And yes, Brandon's leads/riffs/everything sounds mint. We weren't half bad... They hold up nicely. Roy, I would love to join you for cocktails but I play that night also. I'll just have to buy one of Brandon's CDs instead. Brandon, how can I get one?
Tom Salmon
10/1/2006 8:56:55 AM

I love Brandon's leads, especially in "Could Be Wrong". Speaking of originals and Brandon, his band Spindrift is having a cd release party Sat. Oct. 14 at Mickey's Irish Saloon ( by Barlow's in Roch). Anyone care to join me for a couple of cocktails?

The site is very enjoyable I hope it grows. I have many of the fliers for the shows we did as well as press clippings . The six photos for the hhurricaine alice show I took. I actually only recently developed them as I have taken so many show photos thru the years. This group was certainly one of the finest I've worked with. Right up there with LEX LUTHER and THE BLONDES. This group was a serious show to see and hear. may we do it again sometime. Bird

Hey thanks for invited me to the get together in Mpls this past weekend. Christ even Woolman there and he didnt tell me! I wanted to pull a really good memory out of ass and all I could think is how hard I was laughing that night Curt did "big dumb and crazy" you can hear me on the song I fell to the floor and was unable to go on any further. By the way an "asspump" is what you use to remember really funny shit like that!
Rob
8/28/2006 5:29:01 PM

Hate to tell you Roy, It was gone 20 mins after the show started. Scotts brother Matt saw it, we laughed all night because of it! That and the fact that Scott couldn't keep a strait face whenever he looked at you!
Dennis
8/27/2006 2:51:09 PM

I hope there aren't any pics of that night, Dennis. Not only did Lenny's amp blow, my fly blew sometime during the course of the night as well. God only knows how long my zipper was gaping open. I 'spose the only reason Scott didn't tell me about was maybe he was hoping it would attract some chicks!
Roy
8/27/2006 1:19:29 PM

Does anybody have any Pics or video of the show at Schooner's? Was Valentines Day, and the night Lenny blew his amp up! Tom, don't forget to use the underscore!

8/26/2006 7:15:15 PM

Indeed, Curt! That night was a blast. Talk about pulling lyrics out of your ass (no pun intended) or anyone's ass for that matter. Just thinking about those sessions is making me thirsty. I need a new copy of that shit...and a cocktail.
Roy

Curtis Lowe
8/26/2006 1:36:24 PM

Don't forget "Flush It". Classics indeed! "Big, Dumb, and Crazy" has to be the funniest song I've ever heard in my life...and I'm not just saying that. I'm just waiting for NoSteve and Rob to send me some info and we'll get it up...literally!

Rob Nassif
8/23/2006 6:02:04 PM

If anyone can locate WatercolorSky and the other back-stage passes Rob Nassif and Steve Digre created, I think I would pull a major muscle if I saw those again. Man we worked late hours on those. ALSO, lest we forget RATTS COME A RUNNIN'. I think everyone on this page was involved with that project. Rob even had concepts of free gum and crackers with a cassette tape purchase. Definetly not getting any work done today.
Steve Digre
8/23/2006 10:20:45 AM

Okay, this is a trip down memory lane. Smiles and great memories. I remember Kobble-ween - the Kid Whiplash gig at Mayo Civic where Lenny, the budding sound engineer bassist, assisted with various Kobble duties (Kobbling the monitor system) and Lenny missed the entire briefing on when and where the pyro-tech was going off. The look on Lenny's face when he missed the entire briefing. Read James Hetfield in Toronto. Thanks for the sound assistance Lenny.
Steve Digre
8/23/2006 10:14:20 AM

Tonis, OUTSTANDING contribution! Great photos of the Randy Williams party on Marion Road! Didn't think there were any of those around. I totally forgot about a couple things you put up until I saw them just now. The Koncept in the Kornfield blew my mind for a minute. I forgot we did that. What a cool shot! And the church talent show deal, I still only vaguely remember that even with the pictures. What songs did we play at that? The "End of Summer" section I have out there was for the show we did at Scott's house on his front porch. It was at the end of August in '83 the last week of summer before school started. Remember? It was a spur of the moment thing where we just decided to do it. That's different than the two at Jim's (although I forgot about the first one at Jim's until you mentioned it). That's right, we did a toga party thing at the first one, then Farm Rock was later on, in September, as I recall. Anyway, great photos. It is so fun to see these ones you've never seen before.
Tom Salmon
8/13/2006 10:01:22 AM

OK Yogis, Hefts and Lennys...I've uploaded the great majority of photos that I have from back in the day. There might be one or two more floating around that I have yet to find. Now I need to work on digitizing some of the old cassettes! Tom--Koncept did two shows at Jim's in 83, an "end of school" gig in his front yard, and "Farm Rock" in his back yard. I think you've got a "end of school" photo in the wrong section. Aren't there any more Farm Rock photos?!!?! That was a big party, I hope some more show up. I just remember it being really cold, I could hardly move my fingers, and the bonfire was clear across the backyard.... Cheers! Tony Pucci
Tony Pucci
8/13/2006 2:18:26 AM

Added a "Sleepover at Scott's" photo section to the Koncept page. I've got more of these at home, including some of Lenny and Rick Schnieder too, I believe. Actually, I have a bunch of Koncept photos (not so sure about Oasis, but I'll see)...and I have a few photos from (didn't know it was the only one until I just read it now) Wrathchild's only gig out at that party on Marion Road by the Hwy. 52 overpass (whose house was that?!?!). Got a pic or two of Chris Schneider at that gig...I think that was about the biggest party that summer!
Tony Pucci
8/12/2006 5:28:25 AM

Added "Psycho Groove" band section. We are looking for your help in locating a photo to use for this band homepage (circa 1992). If anyone has a photo you can share, please upload it to the photo gallery or email it to us at files@rhythmrock.com. Thanks!

Very cool site boys!!! Looking forward to whatever else you put on here. I'm going to try and find some old party photos that you may want to put on here and then mail them to Scott (I know I told you I would do that a long time ago, Tom -- sorry). Hopefully, they'll be of some use to you.

Hello Kevin Anderson, are you out there? I wanted to let you know I uploaded the lone two photos that I have of you "back in the day" (i.e. 1984). You'll find them under Koncept in the "Practice" and "Mayo High School Friday Entertainment" sections. Enjoy. Do you have any photos from this era or the later Hot Pink era? Let me know.
Tom Salmon
8/5/2006 9:17:42 AM

Fellow former Oasis members: I found some 1982 photos of band practice and added them into the Oasis band section. That's about all I can find for Oasis stuff. I hope some of you guys have some things to add. Take it easy!

Schneids! Very cool to hear from you! Also Weez and L.D.S. hopefully you will find some old things to add to the archives! By the way, am uploading some Kid Whiplash video stuff as I write this so anyone interested check it out. Also, if anyone adds material to the site it would be great to leave a message in the guestbook of what you put up so we don't miss anything!
Scott
8/1/2006 6:19:03 PM

Tom - Small world, indeed... Brandon and I had known each other for a # of years prior to becoming band mates. We always had an interest in jamming together, although it seemed like the right opportunity never surfaced. Finally a couple years ago my last project disbanded and Brandon was putting Spindrift together. We hooked up and have never looked back since. I'm guessing my Mom has some photo's in her archives. I will see if I can come up with something to post. I know she has some from pre Oasis days - when we used to put on air band shows in Ken Baker's driveway.

Hey Schneids! Long time no see! It's a small world (I played with Brandon back in 91-92). I'll definately have to make a trip down to see your band. He mentioned he had a "Chris Schneider" in his band and I figured it must be you. I haven't ran into many from those days either. I spoke with Tony last year (it had been over 10 years since I last spoke with him). He and Ken work together. I know they've been on the site as Tony emailed me last night. I have a picture of you and I together in Cub scouts I'll throw up in the Oasis section. Do you have any old Oasis photos you can contribute to the site?

Hi Weez, yes, please put up whatever you have. We don't have much Kid Whiplash stuff. Rick gave us the one we're using on that band page. Somehow, we didn't take many pictures of those days. Looking forward to seeing what you have! Scott, do you have the Mayo Civic show on video?

Tom/Scott - Brandon Messmer recently turned me on to your site... Holy balls, I am having flashbacks!!! Not sure if I'll be able to focus on work today. Memories of the Oasis garage band days and all the crazy times we used to have are ringing through my head. I occasionally run into Ernie Nelson here in Roch, and I saw Amy Blee at our class reunion last summer. Otherwise I really haven't run into a soul from this era. Glad to hear you haven't lost touch with your musical roots. My resume isn't as long as yours, but I have played actively over the years. Shoot me an email, I'd love to catch up with you guys.

Curtis Lowe! You are not wrong, you should and will be listed. This site is still a work in progress with updates to come. Sorry I didn't get this done before launch, there was just so much to do. You were a part of so many of the bands that I need some help from you. I sent you an email about this. Read it over and check back in.

It was a Rob Nassif thing, just the wrong time frame. Steve Digre was involved also. Could be that the CARLOS BOYS name was from Kid Whiplash days but the laminates weren't made until just before the Molly Hatchet show if I remember right. I'm wearing one in one of the Mirage photos. There were CARLOS BOYS crew shirts as well by the time we did Pfaff's R.E.O show at the fairgrounds. I miss my Carlos shirt. (sniff)

No sh!t! We both thought that was a Rob Nasif thing from Kid Whiplash. Thanks for the correction.

Tom, the CARLOS BOYS All Access Passes listed under Kid Whlplash are from the Gangster Holiday era. Carlos Boys was the Road Crew for the Bob Pfaff promoted shows and should almost be treated as a separate group like a band. Still got my pass hanging in the closet :)

Awesome Roy! Those are some great shots. I don't remember ever seeing those before. Looking forward to seeing the rest. Very cool indeed.

Roy, was that Hurricane Alice we were warming up for in that photo? Where was that at? North Star, Ryan's, Mirage?
