You're Hip Hop Cable Access Stars...

Just got back from the CRAZIEST show I've ever had to do. We unveiled the new Deface Family on stage, with NES, emcee lb, and the returning Dr. Espling, to a resounding success. And had a blast with all of our friends, No Clue, MCK, Basick Sickness, Broken Wingz, Trigga, Legally Insane, and all the fans just hanging out. But we'll have plenty of footage from that in the coming weeks...

Right now, here's the debut of CRAP performing a TV friendly version of "Monkey Flings Poo" on the Ripple Effect. This should be airing on PCTV (local to Pittsburgh, PA) in September. Peep it...

I've had to sit on this a couple weeks, but here is my conversation with Jered from hed pe a couple of weeks ago. And don't forget to head over to the hed pe Myspace page and scope the first single, "Suffa"

'Tis the Season...

...to do shows! I love this! I'm looking at doing a CRAP show, or watching/performing wrestling every weekend for a while now.

For a while now, this is what I live for. I love getting on stage/in the ring and performing in front of people. I don't think anything else can beat the feeling. It's deffinately like a drug. An addiction, if you will. We got CRAP in East Liverpool, OH; Sykesville, PA; Lisbon, OH; Sorgstock in Jamestown, PA; and the NES CD Release Party right on the southside of Pittsburgh. And, you know who willing, a trip out east for a pretty big show, if all goes well. Hell, maybe more than one...

And of course, we'll be doing some RWF wrestling action at SauceStorm and Sorgstock. There's definitely an itch there. Even though I don't expect to be real good at it. And of course, the grandaddy of New Media, Podcamp Pittsburgh 2 in August. Aparently the Wrestling Mayhem Show's reputation has preceded it.

And to think all of this started with band, choir, and musicals back in the day...

Serenity Prayer

Whether you are regious or not. It's some piece of mind that I'd forgotten about until recently. Sometihng to keep in mind...

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Dr. Espling interview....

What does it all mean? Who's in? What's going on? Dr. Espling sits down and tells us what all of this Deface Marketing stuff means...

And be sure to stay tuned, as early next week, we'll be posting my talk with Jered from (hed) pe from a couple weeks ago.

Cable Access CRAP TV Stars!!!

Tonight, CRAP had a great oppurtunity to head over to Pittsburgh's North Side and perform for the cameras for "The Ripple Effect" with DaButtonPusha. We got to meet and greet with some of Pittsburgh's hip hop faces. I'll be sure to throw up some links as soon as I get the info and DVD in a few weeks. And look forward to CRAP sharing the airwaves on PCTV 21 in September, from what I hear.

But in the meantime, we had a chance to sit down with DaButtonPusha and talk about everything she's got going on in the 'burgh.




Scope out all of the action and details at the JPB Inc Myspace site...

A new beginning

After all the ups and downs. After all the planning, plotting, booking, recording, it's finally out of the bag. We are effectively relaunching Deface Marketing. With, of course, Dr. Espling at the helm, yours truely as VP, and Missy as, um, legal booking-type person (ok, we're still figuring out her title. But she can do a lot of awesome things on the phone. And, of course, we're bringing upstarts, Nerdz Eating Shroomz, and emcee lb into the fold. These guys are new to the game, but we already have them on a couple bookings. All three of those guys are already proving to be hard working and trying to make their mark on the music world. We now have no less than a team of 8 individuals making time for this venture in some capacity.

And on top of all of this, we have the joining of WesternPAJuggalos.com and the Wrestling Mayhem Show into the Deface fold. Now, with all of this together, it gives all the entities just a little more stroke.

I've had a couple people tell me over the course of a few months, from the New Media community, I have plenty going on, I just need to brand them all together. Well, now, I've been able to team with a branding that's got a foothold in the entertainment industry in Deface, and help enhance that brand, in the process.

We're all learning from everything we've done over the years, and it finally feels like it's taking form into something tangible, with this venture.
