Colorado on the Roxx
This month we will see two rock clubs in Colorado stop rockin’ – the Sportsfield Roxx in Denver, and The Chief in Pueblo.
So what’s the deal? We’re not quite sure yet.
According to Brandun, Fomofuiab’s Manager, “The Chief has been losing money since they re-opened. The owner Kelvin just decided to shut it down and sell it from what I understand they are asking 200,000 for the whole club including the last beer glass.”
Fomofuiab played their final show at Sportsfield last Friday, and will be playing their last show at The Chief this Saturday, February 22 with Tripcage, Comostyle, Koyld and Spinedown.
Here’s what bassist Mike Krening has to say about their love on the Roxx last week:
We played our first show ever as a band at the Sportsfield and it has turned into a hub for us bands. It’s always been a place for people to network in the scene because you always knew there were good bands playing.
It sucks that the Sportsfield is closing its doors to metal shows; one less venue is never good. But the cycle will continue and new ones will appear and disappear.
But we personally (FOMOFUIAB) will miss the Sportsfield and the people there! Chris and Dave and all the bartenders over our short carreer have been some of our biggest supporters and Im sure a lot of other bands in town will say the same!!
For sure, the last metal show there was bad ass! Mazzard, Fomofuiab, Blister 66, and Sickbox…one hell of a lineup. All of the bands kicked ass and made sure that it left an impression, if not a scar on everyone. It was good to see the support of our fans and it was a great night.
Maris The Great showed up to do his casket giveaway. He had a casket full of local band stuff like CD’s, shirts, magazines and what not. It was pretty cool of him to put that contest on. The winner of course was our own Ty Fury, who wrote 50 colorful words on how to kill Maris with the utmost creativity.
We played our asses off that night and had as much fun as we’ve ever had there. Too bad its not going to be around anymore…but at least Jerry (of Tyfoid Mary) made it out of there with the “NO MOSHING” sign. HELL YEAH BROTHER!!
Stay tuned next week when we’ll have news of a new club opening in Colorado that plans to rock your arse…

Gamits Lose Drummer, But They’re Still Kickin’
This just in from Virgil at Suburban Home Records:
I am sure word is already traveling so I figured I should clear things
up. NO, THE GAMITS ARE NOT BREAKING UP. What has happened is that Forrest (the Gamits drummer) has decided that he no longer wants to play in the Gamits. We are really bummed because Forrest has been in the Gamits for a long time and we had to cancel their European Tour in March. As much as this really sucks, all Chris can do is keep chugging along.
Chris is working on songs that will comprise a new album and in my opinion are some of his best songs ever. When the Gamits release their next album, they will tour Europe, Japan, and all over the United States. Big things are planned for their new album.
Check the Gamits site soon as he will have more info. He will eventually be looking for new members to make up the rest of the band and when that happens, we will give you all the information. The Gamits in their current lineup will be playing 3 shows in March with Adventures of Jet. These 3 shows will be great and we recommend you attend as many of them as you can to see The Gamits with Forrest as they will not be playing together again. I will have more info as it develops.
