I don't think we have any more copies of the first Whoreculture CD, but would be more than happy to burn one(a CD that is) and send it to you. What is the best way to get hold of you? Todd in Iraq,

I'm now in the Army and currently in Iraq. There are many bands from Gainesville that are more famous, but none have stuck in my brain like Whoreculture. My favorite venue to watch them at was the Dish. I absolutely loved standing next to the speakers on the stage and feeling the music just as much as I was hearing it, then leaving that place with my ears ringing, having just listened to a bunch of guys play loud ass music with seemingly relentless energy and passion. It was motivating then and it's motivating for me now. I have Whoreculture on my laptop and was just listening to it today on my iPod at the gym here at our security station. I just wish I could have purchased their first CD. I have the others but I was never fortunate enough to find the first one for sale. I don't mean to rag on other bands but I never understood how Sister Hazel and some other groups 'went big' but Whoreculture did not. Their music is great. I couldn't understand how the rest of the nation wasn't hearing what I was hearing. I don't know how their drummers or whoever stacked up against other musicians, but as a band, their music just sounds great and it has a primal, basic appeal. I put 'Rest Assured' on repeat today and just felt awesome. I know times have changed....but I have to say it....get back together guys! At the very least, perhaps I can find their first cd. Wow, what a trip down memory lane. I hope the members of Whoreculture feel good about the music they created and the enjoyment it brought/brings, even today. You guys have made a great impact in a lot of peoples' lives and I hope you feel good about that - you certainly should.

Damn I miss that event. I tromped through that entire place with my camera and got some amazing images. I was there for several years, the last one being when James Brown headlined. Speaking of the Gainesville music scene, does anyone besides me remember PasteEater with crazy-assed Ken Volkman on drums? He and I were pretty tight for a while but parted poorly, which I still feel bad about. Last I knew he went up to NYC where he had family, but never heard anything after that. I was sifting through old posters the other day and found, perfectly preserved, two posters from the AMH. I am looking forward to professionally framing them.

I saw Aleka's Attic play somewhere or another back around '87 or '88 maybe. I traveled up from Orlando helping a friends band (Tactile Cinema) and they were playing a show with Aleka's. Without meaning to be disprespectful, River seemed awfully pretentious, kind of acting like he was trying to be low-key and yet somehow managing to attract attention to himself at the same time. Like walking around holding a bandanna over his face all the time as if that didn't cause even more people to look at him. Naomi's Hair was one of my favorite bands back then, although I seem to recall they were from Orlando and not G'ville, could be wrong though. Cool to recall all these bands from back when.
