state of music. I can tell you with musicians like this, the state of music is well-based, well- grounded and full of talent. JP: So, it’s a good time right now for you guys? Thane Farace: Yes, we feel proud to be part of these networking families. JP: HIGHVOL MUSIC…working at putting you on the road? Thane: BILL CHAVIS is a great guy. I’ve been wanting to work with him for years and finally got the opportunity with this band. I spoke with him first and came to these guys (band members) and told them about him and they said, “We trust you. Do it.” JP: You’ve been playing the PA and Maryland circuit--what else do you have going? RA: We have some stuff in Virginia, West Virginia, working with RESISTANCE and we should be going out to California and also the NAMM Show. Been working with a promoter, STEVEN WALTERS, from JUGGERNAUT PRODUCTIONS in Ohio…called me the other day, so we’re gonna be playing Columbus, OH, October 30th--and we’re going down to Louisville, Kentucky to play October 31st, Halloween. They wanted a Horror Metal band. JP: What club are you playing in Columbus? RA: Columbus…the venue, I don’t remember. Louisville, Kentucky is THE WAREHOUSE, which is supposed to be a big deal. We have a headlining show coming up at BALTIMORE SOUNDSTAGE. ZACH OHLER has been great to us, hooked us up with a lot of great shows. JOHN HOVANEC has been great to us. MATT BURNS just put us on “The Slasher Fest” with PAIN. We’ve been playing with them a lot. We’re actually going to be playing at THE APOLLO THEATRE in Martinsburg (WV). We feel honored to be going into that historic place. JP: You’re getting publicity from the CD and especially the video (for the song “I Hate”).
