from John at Cahootenanny's

Saturday - October 23

Come and show your support for the local music scene.This should prove to be one hell of a show.Downbleed continues to acquire new fans every where they go.This will be their first show since taking a much needed break.We have wanted them in Cahootenanny's for quite some time now!If you haven't seen them now is your chance.

Born Again is by far one of the most talented tribute acts to come thru the area in a while.If you saw them at Rockin on the River then you know what these guys are capable of.If you haven't seen them what are you waiting for an invitation from Ozzy himself.I am telling you if Ozzy saw this band he would know for sure he had finally done too much acid!The band is so dead on that he would think he was having an outerbody experience for sure!

Doors open at 8 show starts at 10:30 pm.Come out early and enjoy some of the great food and drink specials Cahootenanny's has to offer!

Former Misfits Member to Perform at Hideaway

By: Amy Annihilation

On Wednesday night, October 13th, Mayhem Productions, in conjunction with Heather’s Hideaway welcome Dr. Chud’s X-Ward to Johnson City. X-Ward will be joined by opening acts, New Disease, and The Impersonators. Tickets to the show are available at the door only, and are $8. Heather’s Hideaway is located at 235 E. Main St. in downtown Johnson City, TN, near Gatsbys.

Dr. Chud, you know his work, drummer/songwriter for The Misfits (1995-2000) and in that time, he released 3 full-length records on 2 major labels (Geffen & Roadrunner Records), toured the world and U.S. extensively, appeared on numerous syndicated television shows, wrestled for World Championship Wrestling (WCW), contributed to punk rock legend Joey Ramone's only solo album "Don't Worry About Me", appeared in George A. Romero's (director of "Night Of The Living Dead") "Bruiser" motion picture as well as other films such as "Animal Room," "Campfire Stories." and "Big Money Husslas." As well as sewing together the group "Graves." But all that was just a build up, amassing thousands of fans world wide Dr. Chud is writing the next chapter in this tale, DR. CHUD'S X-WARD. A brand new project showcasing Chud's vocal-abilities in an all-out-punk rock-slaughter house.

Launching it's first nationwide tour in 2003, Dr. Chud’s X-Ward proved to everyone why Chud is one of the leaders in horror-punk today. His first full-length Multimedia CD "Diagnosis for Death" released in June of 2004, is sure to become a classic. X-Ward is going to bring all of Dr. Chud's past fans in, as well as the fans who are just now finding out about him via his official website, http://www.drchud.com.

Fans of Elvis, rejoice! Deliverance is here, in the form of opening act for this show, The Impersonators. Formed in Nowhere, TN, The Impersonators are one of the best, as well as one of the most unique Elvis acts around. Not your typical Elvis show, as they put their own flair on things, yet still keep it all centered. The King has just entered the building, and adds an element all their own to this very special show.

What do you get when you cross a love for old school punk, catchy hooks, and 3 talented individuals(whom happen to be family members) who know how to write a song together? The answer: Greeneville, TN’s, New Disease. The band comprised of, Joe, Jody, Wes Tarlton, has been causing quite a bit of a buzz in the local scene since their debut. That buzz has only gotten stronger and stronger in the last few months. If you haven’t see New Disease, come and see what the buzz is about, you’ll thank the powers that be’s for New Disease.

Ansley's last show & Sevendust statement

This is the official statement from Ansley Roberts Promostions....."First of all, I apologize for the delay in an official announcment. My wife and I seperated last week, and I don't have access to a computer right now except for the internet cafe. What else could go wrong this year??

It saddens me to announce that Gatsbyspalooza 2004 will be my last show for a while. I am retiring from national shows, but may continue to have smaller shows at Gatsby's next year. If you have enjoyed or appreciated what we have done for the local area, then please come out to celebrate our going away party. The Breakfast Club and Poptart Monkeys always pack the house, so it should be a great weekend to say "goodbye". And as if we had planned it... Saturday (my last show) is also my birthday. Come help me celebrate my birthday and last show on the same night!!

In regards to Sevendust: AC Entertainment and Sevendust moved the show to Knoxville. I had expressed concern with Sevendust ticket sales to AC Entertainment on a phone call after the Tantric show. I had lost money on my last few shows, and tickets sales for Sevendust were under 40 with less than 10 days to the show. However, after discussing several different options with AC Entertainmnement, I committed to having the show as scheduled out of respect for the local fans and AC Entertainment. AC Entertainment asked me to keep the show, as a cancellation would hurt the local scene and maybe damage my future in the business.

I commited to increasing the advertising for the show by more than $1000, and doing everything that I could to make it work. The promotional strategy worked, as tickets were selling fast on the day the move was announced. I felt confident that the show would now do well, and possibly be profitable. I was also asked by AC Entertainment to send Sevendust $1200 in order to assure the show would happen in Johnson City. I wired them $1200 in ticket money, and the show was cancelled by fax the following day. AC sent the fax to all Dad's CDs locations and also to Z-Rock and K-Rock. I had to learn of the fax from the owner of Dad's CDs. The fax included a reason: "due to Ansley Roberts Promotions being unable to fulfill his contractual obligations."

Let me make this very clear... I would have only been in breach of contract if the band had showed up, and then not been paid in full. By failing to show up, Sevendust is the only party who didn't fulfill their contractual obligations. By asking me to send money on one day, and then cancelling the show on the next... it is easy to prove "intent" in court. There are other legal surprises in store, but I would rather keep those unannounced until later. One thing is for sure, all parties will wish that they had been more professional and couteous.

I was later called by AC Entertainment to advise me that the show was being moved, Sevendust was not returning the deposit, and AC Entertainment was dissolving the relationship between themselves and Ansley Roberts Promotions. It was clear that Sevendust and AC had been negotiating the move for several days, while asking me to keep the show in Johnson City and to send Sevendust money.

We are taking legal action to get everyone's ticket money returned. Until then, please have patience. I do not have anyone's money, Sevendust does. Stay tuned for updates.

I have also learned that AC has contacted Rafters ragerding the Saliva show on Novemember 13. There is also reason to believe that AC is trying to add Sevendust to the show for public relations reasons. If the show happens, you can decide whether or not to support the show after each party has shown their true colors. As for me, I know what decision I would make.

Hopefully I can see everyone this weekend at Gatsby's. The Breakfast Club is Friday, Oct 8, and The Poptart Monkeys are Saturday, Oct 9."
