my name's russ
<p>I'm not really sure what to put here, I feel like I am on a dating site or something but here goes</p> <p> </p> <p>15 years ago I started allaboutrecords, it was a label started to help some friends in a band get a record made. Then we needed someone to set up the record release show, so I did that and started booking shows.I have book shows for some bands you may have heard of, back when they still toured in vans and slept on floors.</p> <p>about 10 years ago I opened a record store / all ages venue, we were able to stay open for a little over 2 years before being forced to shut down due to our proximity to some apartments, the residents did not like having kids in their building.</p> <p>after we closed I decided to go back to school, I continued running the label,booking shows and tours in the US and UK. I recently graduated and decided it was time to open a new space, this space would be exactly what we wanted the old space to be, a fully functioning art space.</p>
