My friend Walt at Underground Wheel Company posted this line filmed by Jimmy Collins. Super hyped they posted it!

Alex Winslow ESNC Ad.

So hyped to have the first ad of 2012 be of my friend Alex Winslow. This Ollie on this shitty brick bump is incredible. Also, ESNC has officially been around for one year. Here's to 2012.

96 Mentality.

This is my part from the ESNC video entitled,96 Mentality. It was filmed in Lawrence, MA and Portland, ME over the spring and summer of 2011. Looking back on it, it's pretty crazy to think I turned 30 while working on this project. And, I have clips in this part that were filmed a week after I fractured my left wrist and right thumb.

Ducky Boys and Hudson Falcons. Geno's 02.04.12

I can't really quantify in words how hyped I was on this show. I have been listening to The Ducky Boys since 1998 when I got my hands on a copy of Dark Days and I have been real into the Hudson Falcons since my friend Jason Hazlett picked up a copy of Desperation and Revolution back in 2001. Jay and I definitely put back many beers in Lowell, MA listening to that album. Sidenote: Jay used to also brew homemade cider in these plastic water containers before we were 21. And I'll tell ya, he used to make a mean fuckin cider. That ghetto-ass homebrew would fuck you up!

So anyway, Lenny Lashley of Darkbuster fame opened the show. I got to Geno's just as he finished so I missed his set. This is par for the course for me with Lenny Lashley performances in Portland. The dude always plays way too fucking early. He's cool as shit though and if ya need a soundtrack to berr drinking check out his musical endeavors.

Moving on, the Hudson Falcons are completely amazing. If there was any justice in the music world they would have the support of a major label and be the nationally recognized ambassador's of the current Jersey Shore Sound. Unfortunately, main stream America is force fed a diet of safe, gentrified, sterile rock consisting of a band whom I will not even name on my webpage.

Playing slide guitar with a fucking beer bottle! So good!

The Ducky Boys headlined the show and it was incredible. As I mentioned earlier I have been listening to them for a long time and it's always great to see them live. They ripped through a lot of classics as well as some new tunes from there recently released album entitled, Chasing the Ghost. Which I highly recommend. Mark Lind has a way of writing songs that anybody can relate to. He basically puts into song exactly what you are feeling. For real, if your going through tough times it's cathartic to listen to Ducky Boys tunes and know somebody went through the same shit.

ESNC Video Premiere in Dover, NH.

My friend Ralph Murphy hooked ESNC up with a video premiere at
Red Alert. It is a skate shop and skate park. The premiere is this upcoming Saturday, February 11 at 5pm. There will be a Best Trick contest. I also put in an order to have some more 96 Mentality Shirts screened with the intent of giving them all away. So, come out next Saturday, skate, chill and get some free shit.
