Ed Gein signs with Black Market Activities
We are extremely proud to announce the official addition of the
Syracuse, NY power-trio, Ed Gein to the Black Market Activities roster.
Lambgoat beat us to it, but the deal was finally solidified within the
last few days after extended negotiations over the last six months. As
you may have heard, the band had a catastrophic incident recently where
their van, trailer and thousands of dollars in merch, equipment, $2500
in cash & personal belongings were stolen from a Walmart parking lot.
To bring everyone up to speed, the van, trailer and several pieces of
equipment were recovered. However, the damages sustained to the vehicle
have rendered it unusable and the unrecovered belongings still total in
the tens of thousands. We are in the process of organizing a benefit
for the band where folks can buy a packet with pins, stickers & a shirt
commemorating the van fiasco to help raise money. All proceeds will go
directly to the band and this packet should be available at the Mass
Metal & Hardcore Festival if not prior.
