Chris Ring has been booking shows and concerts for over 20 years. He has booked thousands of shows in that time. I initially had planned to interview him for a small business episode but I realized while preparing the questions that it would be easier for me to give him a full episode. Our conversation covers a variety of topics mostly revolving around being a promoter.

Episode 9- Chris Ring (After Dark Entertainment)

When I first got into hardcore I witnessed some pretty wild events. There were fights with skinheads, suburban dudes acting as "crews," countless stage dives, a full scale riot, black eyes, a broken nose, and a broken window at a gig in a second story loft courtesy of a guitar amp. There was also the time we all had to wait it out because someone pulled a gun out in the parking lot. This all transpired within my first two years in the scene. Needless to say I was hooked. This podcast will serve as not only a memory of all of those events, but also a look into the future.
