Union and Metro podcast
Bands such as Blink 182 ,Agent 51, Sprung Monkey , Unwritten Law started at the San Diego, CA music venue called SOMA . SOMA was an all ages club with a heavy emphasis on local bands.This is where many bands grew up and became national touring bands by starting off on the smaller stage and then growing their audience to get to the main stage and open for national acts as well as headline their own shows . Jerm booked bands and ran the club from November 1989 until 1997 .Jer took over running the club and eventually opened the latest version with Scott Raynor years later . We helped grow the scene and bands such as Blink 182 ,Agent 51, Sprung Monkey , Unwritten Law ,Ghoulspoon ,Slightly Stoopid , P.O.D. ,Buck-O-Nine , and many many others as well as National acts such as Green Day , No Doubt , KORN who had become regulars as far as main stage acts . Jerm & Jer talk with band members , production friends and patrons about the scene and shows .Union and Metro is recorded at Jerm's house , headquarters for Red Rum Skates ( skateboard company ) . The club is now owned by a corporation and has a whole new crew working there .
Jerm also is known from the bands : P.O.U.R. , Tribe of Fallen Dreams , Cockroach ! , MEAT, Urine , Sin Sin77 , The Graveyard Dogs , Enclosure of Blood , Flinch , Off With Your Head , Weird Al Queda , Reberth, Deathiosaurus and currently The Left Outs .Logo artwork provided by : Chris Armes : Green Ribcage Graphics ;greenribcage@gmail.com .Recorded at Red Rum Skates headquarters in San Diego CA 92103Music for intro and outro courtesy of Break Anchor From Detroit spinach dip provided by the lovely Miss V- .facebook : https:/www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071150805517 @jermaddams (instagram & facebook )@redrumskates (instagram )@redrumskates/witchboards ( facebook )
