Bassist JOEY VERA: 'Being Your Own Record Company Is A Bitch!'

November 6, 2006

Bassist Joey Vera (ARMORED SAINT, FATES WARNING, ANTHRAX) has posted the following message on his official web site:

"Being your own record company is a bitch! But who's complaining?!

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you who've contacted me with regard to my new CD. The response has been overwhelming and I really appreciate the great comments! I've been getting nothing but great responses from all of you who've given it a listen and I've even gotten a few reviews printed from online and print magazines. You can see a couple on the 'A Chinese Firedrill' page here on this site.

"I've just shipped a load of CD's over to Germany to be sold at the mail-order company Just For Kicks and the sales at CDBaby.com are going very well also. I'm doing what I can to get the word out there but having all of you use the 'word of mouth' tactic has been great. Thank you!

"The MySpace thing is growing at an alarming rate also. If only I could lose body fat that quickly! Seriously, it's definitely a great way to connect with people from all over the world. I've even run into a few friends in distant lands that I haven't spoken to in ages. Come on by a visit if you're 'space curious,' www.myspace.com/joeyvera. Come on in and join, it don't cost ya nothin'!

"More stuff is on the horizon, so until a few weeks from now, adios!"
