Page 4 of 4 About St. Louis music, was there a hole that you saw that needed to be filled?The only hole was that we needed to be filled was a place where we could play. Seriously. There were some other options in places that we looked at. Big warehouses we could portion off, small bar, dingy, red lights, permanent PA that would always be on. A place were bands could just get up and play. That’s what we started looking at. Not filling a hole. Filling a hole in the St. Louis music scene would be like trying to plug Swiss cheese. You know what I mean? There’s a lot of holes there. The clubs are just not supported. What could change that?People aren’t able to open the businesses that they want to open because it’s too expensive. There are a lot of good minds out there that could do places that would be as cool as shit. But there’s no help. If you could do it for $30,000, there’s a lot of people who could get that. But if your unproven, not too many can get approved for $180,000. Luckily I had two partners who could do that. you couldn’t do that with strangers, luckily I got to do it with my friends, Tim Layman and Steve Kennealy. And the families have been very supportive of it all. My partners are my friends.
