Moon Riders
This is probably my favorite record I have ever been apart of in 13 years of playing in bands. This record came together in such an odd way. Hercules moved out of The Party Plex in April of 2008 (one of the worst decisions we never made) and went on tour for a month on the west coast and Hawaii. We wrote 3 songs for Moon Riders the previous year and had released them on a 4 song demo along with a...
This Is Killing You
Really I have been working on this record since 2007. If you never heard of Koizumi, it’s a pop punk / emo whatever you want to call it band I’ve been doing in Nebraska since the summer of 2006. It’s been a really strange project over the last 4 and a half years. I think in that amount of time including full band and acoustic shows Koizumi has probably only played between 15...
Mad Ave
Yesterday we had a meeting with the department of Building & Safety for the second time. Pretty much the same stuffy meeting as the first one. As of right now we are getting floor plans made up to show building and safety how many square feet of standing room we will have in our 1,006 ft2 building. That will determine our maximum capacity which in turn will determine how many bathrooms we...

An old love
I had a serious crush on Olympic gymnast Dominique Moceanu when I was little. Took me pretty much until now to remember her name. I definitely loved her a lot more when I was 6 years old.
Snow day
I once loved days like today. Now I just feel like this kid. Except I’m a grown man and instead of a parent looking on, my girlfriend, Lindsay and Dani are inside sipping hot chocolate under piles of blankets while watching Desperate Housewives. Harsh reality.

Zuver's Gym
Article taken from The Blonde Bomber himself, Dave Draper.
“You wouldn’t believe it,” said one of them, “it’s the most incredible thing I ever saw.” Hmm, that got my attention so I strained to hear more.
“The place has more weight than I’ve ever seen in my life,” he continued, “and the apparatus defies description.”
That did it.
“What are you talking about?” I asked.
“Zuver’s gym.”

Mad Ave
Up late stressing out about Mad Ave.
Mad Ave is a DIY venue me and buddies have been trying to open up in Lincoln for the last 5 months. It’s been the most stressful thing I’ve ever had to deal with.
In October we planned to have our first show. We were there every night for a week getting everything together. After 7 sleepless nights the venue was looking great and we were ready for...
