If this is an "Annual Event" it's surely the first one as Dynamohum had nothing to do with the "real 1st annual Landshark event" last year. Lst yearl was a Cluster F. Grant Austin Taylor was headlining the bill at 24 street stage. The last minute Budweiser pulled the plug as they found out he was just a boy and this is anchol event. So, Harvey "Big Bird" (Who now is fired fro FM99) suckered a buch of the beach's finest to make a "Jam Band." That Jam Band consited of John Adkins (from Revery) on rythym guitar and main vocals, Eddie Leonetti on vocals and acoustic guitr, the incredible talent of Mike Doyle (Revery). another incredible talent of Carter White (Plastic Eddie & National talent show winner), Jimmy Wiseman and Ross King on bass, Chuck the Intern (from FM99) & Harvey "Big Bird" from FM99 who was killing me during load-in by playing keys for about an hour during load in to show off to him self. Later on that night, The late Walt Redmond showed up as an encore and killed it.

All of these guys except Walt had to rehearse together twice, the 2 nights before as when Harvey found out Grant could not play, he had to throw something together.

After a few months, I kept hearing from my friends, Carter and Mike, that they never got paid for that event. It was funded by Anheiser-Busch so the money was there for Grant Austin Taylor, its Harvey that didnt pay the guys. Jopeomg nobody would complain. So, I wrote to Harvey in the best interests of the guys, and he said "who put you in charge of this?" I replied "I did. it's not fair to have dumped on my friiends when your recieved money and are not distributing it like a good honest and fair person woud do." He was pissed as he is/was a tightwaad but after several attemps, he finally paid the guys. I personally brought Carter's gear and backline earlier that day and switchted vehical's with him as he had to work until 6:00PM and he was not going get setup in time. So, two trips back and forth for me to make Carter happen. It's typical
Virginia Beach cover band b******* and to be honest with you I am sick of it all.

Enjoy the show, make Anheiser-Busch a lot of money!
