Hey guys,
I was a taper from the If This is Hell-Dax,Shane, Lucas, Wynn- and (cough) Tess Era (circa 2001-2005) and I became good friends with Dax. Me and Moonboy (Moon, mikeal moon, etrc) were the opening band for Dax solo shows as well as Dax/Tess shows as "Psychedelic Astronauts (of subconsciouesness) I ran his website for a few years before he just made his myspace his official site. We have lost touch over the last 2-3 years but I still get a call from him when he comes in the area.
I was on the circus as well.
I was looking for the audio bootleg database to download some of Adam's (fellow taper, GOAT, IMO) shows from late ITIFTIL area to catch some of the songs that were never recorded in studio (Wherever Forever Is, Spinning Song, and Evil Hides) and stumbled across a 2010 bootleg matrix of Adam's that is fucking KILLER (ends with Lungs by Townes Van Zandt) on this site. I found the circus was closed before I could rip the entire bootleg section again (all 30+GBs of it). Then I found you guys.
Anyways, Just wanted to stop in and say high, my name is Andrew, and I still love Dax's music more than ever. My most famous taped shows are the soundboard solo shows from 05-2002 (22, 23) at the Sidebar.
