January 29, 2009 4:30pm
We're back! Happy New Years everyone! I've been
busy trying to catch up on everything. I was out of
town for a few weeks and was too sick to be on the
computer for a few weeks after that. Sorry about that
everyone.
If you haven't noticed I added a bunch of albums of
photos to the site not too long ago. We were lucky
enough to get to check out Dead By Sunrise (Chester
Bennington, Ryan Shuck & Amir Derakh's new band) at
The Roxy in Hollywood and the All American Rejects at
the Roxy.

feature on the front page. =]

On Wednesday evening AntiProduct was asked to
drop off the show with Wednesday 13 this Sunday
night at the Penny Arcade in Rochester, NY.
Wednesday 13 is refusing to play with the band for
reasons unknown. Here is the official statement
released from AntiProduct:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, AntiProduct will
NOT be performing at the Penny Arcade in Rochester on
March 2. We are hugely disappointed at this
developement and have it on good advice that the
promoters of Sunday's event were personally contacted
by Wednesday 13's management that if former touring
partners AntiProduct were on the bill Wednesday 13
would not perform.
You can make your own deductions from this
information, as we're sure many of you will, but we find it
very selfish if not cowardly for an established artist like
Wednesday 13's management to resort to these sort of
bullying tactics, depriving both AntiProducuct's new
Rochester fans as well as his own long time fans of what
could have been a very, very special night of rock 'n' roll.
After all, it's the kids who are the boss in the equation
and deserve only everything that an artist can provide.
This does not include threats and scare tactics, at least in
the world of AntiProduct.
We will make this up to you in no uncertain terms and
kick your ass twice as hard when we do!
The lineup for Sunday's show is Wednesday 13, the
AKAs, Creature Feature, The Vincent Black Shadows
and others.
January 29, 2008 1:55pm

Allister have just announced that they will be going on
"indefinite hiatus". Here is the message bassist Scott
Murphy posted on MySpace today:
"Before we left for this last Japanese tour in October, Tim
got the news that he was going to become a father. We
had the whole 3 months in Japan to discuss what would
become of Allister, and in the end Tim made the
responsible decision to start a job that wouldn’t take him
out of the country for months at a time. He wanted to be
home with his girlfriend during the pregnancy, and
throughout the upbringing of their child. We had already
confirmed a Japanese tour for March, and since Tim has
already entered the work force, we have asked his
brother Chris to join us overseas. We will be booking a
show in Chicago, which for all intents and purposes will
be billed as our last show. I’ll post the info when it comes.
Allister has been trucking along for a good 10 years now,
and in that time we’ve been fortunate enough to travel
around the world playing music that we love. We’ve met
so many amazing people, and I feel really fortunate to
have been a part of this band… Before I get too sappy, I
just want to say thanks to everyone who supported us
over the years. Who knows what the future will hold, but
for the time being this is just the beginning of a new
chapter…
Scott Murphy and Allister"
Scott along with guitarist Kyle Lewis, ex-Mest drummer
Nick Gigler and ex-members of Homegrown and
Showoff have started a new band called The Get Go.

On Wednesday evening AntiProduct was asked to
drop off the show with Wednesday 13 this Sunday
night at the Penny Arcade in Rochester, NY.
Wednesday 13 is refusing to play with the band for
reasons unknown. Here is the official statement
released from AntiProduct:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, AntiProduct will
NOT be performing at the Penny Arcade in Rochester on
March 2. We are hugely disappointed at this
developement and have it on good advice that the
promoters of Sunday's event were personally contacted
by Wednesday 13's management that if former touring
partners AntiProduct were on the bill Wednesday 13
would not perform.
You can make your own deductions from this
information, as we're sure many of you will, but we find it
very selfish if not cowardly for an established artist like
Wednesday 13's management to resort to these sort of
bullying tactics, depriving both AntiProducuct's new
Rochester fans as well as his own long time fans of what
could have been a very, very special night of rock 'n' roll.
After all, it's the kids who are the boss in the equation
and deserve only everything that an artist can provide.
This does not include threats and scare tactics, at least in
the world of AntiProduct.
We will make this up to you in no uncertain terms and
kick your ass twice as hard when we do!
The lineup for Sunday's show is Wednesday 13, the
AKAs, Creature Feature, The Vincent Black Shadows
and others.
January 29, 2008 1:55pm

Allister have just announced that they will be going on
"indefinite hiatus". Here is the message bassist Scott
Murphy posted on MySpace today:
"Before we left for this last Japanese tour in October, Tim
got the news that he was going to become a father. We
had the whole 3 months in Japan to discuss what would
become of Allister, and in the end Tim made the
responsible decision to start a job that wouldn’t take him
out of the country for months at a time. He wanted to be
home with his girlfriend during the pregnancy, and
throughout the upbringing of their child. We had already
confirmed a Japanese tour for March, and since Tim has
already entered the work force, we have asked his
brother Chris to join us overseas. We will be booking a
show in Chicago, which for all intents and purposes will
be billed as our last show. I’ll post the info when it comes.
Allister has been trucking along for a good 10 years now,
and in that time we’ve been fortunate enough to travel
around the world playing music that we love. We’ve met
so many amazing people, and I feel really fortunate to
have been a part of this band… Before I get too sappy, I
just want to say thanks to everyone who supported us
over the years. Who knows what the future will hold, but
for the time being this is just the beginning of a new
chapter…
Scott Murphy and Allister"
Scott along with guitarist Kyle Lewis, ex-Mest drummer
Nick Gigler and ex-members of Homegrown and
Showoff have started a new band called The Get Go.
