From Slovenia, this Industrial powerhouse band was out to support their 'Anthems' Cd. We had a little communication problem, but we got along just fine!! - and their show was CrAzY!!! They had a film crew with them for a DVD they were shooting "A Film from Slovenia – Occupied Europe NATO Tour 1994-95" - but we didn't make the cut... i think it was a language barrier issue
Nataša Regovec, she played these huge military style drums at the show.. she was pretty quiet at the shop, but a wild thing on stage! Here she is rocking Underground "slayers' , she wore them on stage too!
"Victory Not Vengeance" - Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson from VNV Nation came in back in 2004, Great guys!! We talked one of our shoe companies ( TUK ) to set them up with some killer black buckle shoes! - funny.. they chose the same pair :)
We asked VNV Nation to autograph the wall. Mark Jackson & Ronan Harris were psyched and asked if they could sign next to Lemmy's signature
The was the first of what turns out to be many times we have had the pleasure of the boys from Ministry at FashioNation. They all came in during the 'Evil Doer Tour', the show was at The Ogden. They blast American Industrial Metal better than anyone!
Al Jourgensen wanted Big boot and he got Big boots! They don't go any taller than 30 eyes. We set him up with Underground Boots from the UK. All the guys were Rocking our footwear that night, Gripfast, TUK, Doc's - I always say "rockstars have to get their gear somewhere" and we're definitely one of those places! Where did you get YOUR boots...?
Al's blasted my ears & lit my dance floors on fire in every club i've been a part of. Huge fan, i've loved him since i saw him at the Rainbow in '83 - he's crazy over the top nuts, friendly and fun - everything you dream about in a Rock Star
As with so many Ministry fans, I got started with the band back in 83 with this - With Sympathy (aka Work for Love) this particular record is the UK import version (different title, same songs, different order). I asked Al about it.. he said "he sold out before he sold anything..." he wasn't very proud of it. it was cool he signed it up for me, it's a treasure in my collection
Surprise visit! - Skinny Puppy at the shop! Ogre's been in a few times before, but this was our first time meeting the incredible cEvin Key! He's been involved in so many bad ass industrial bands, Download, Cyberaktif, Tear Garden. We set the band up with Dr. Martens this time, cEvin getting a sweet pair of 14 eyes.
"A view so cruel" .. I don't think so, just some sweet autographs from one of our favorite bands ever to come through our doors! Ogre & cEvin, "is it safe?" well... cEvin almost fell off the ladder! ;)
