It was exactly 18 years ago today this Numbskull show operation was born. The place a dilapitated Mexican discotheque called El Tapatio located smack dab in the middle of seedy downtown Oxnard. Nardcore legends Agression and fellow Mystic Records label mates Habeas Corpus kicked off the very first ever Numbskull show to a mixed bag of homeless punks, latin farmboys, nazi skinheads, surf rats, and whatever riff raff that happened to stumble across a flyer. Fists flew, bottles broke, the 4 channel PA buzzed incessantly and three cars got broken into. The exasperated crowd, all 74 of them were the sacrificial lambs of our debut offering and despite the usual misgivings that accompany such inexperienced DIY affairs, they came back in full force the next show...and the next show, and the next. You just can't keep a good fan down.

3,143 shows later that commitment to live music stands stronger than ever. Not just with us, but in all of you as well...and for that we are very grateful.

Hey, we are in the midst of compiling a somewhat comprehensive Picture Gallery of past Numbskull show highlights for our Photo section...So if you have any nifty print worthy show related pics from the last decade and a half please send em over for inclusion. They don't have to be of just bands, if it's a hot shot and scene related by all means send it in...and of course you will get full credit and bragging rights.

We are always looking for Street Team so if your down for spreading the love please get in touch.

We are still looking for forward-thinking, progressive, open-minded activists out there to help jump start and educate the show going masses. Especially in the Red-State like Antelope Valley, Kern & Fresno Counties and SLO. Please get in touch if you want to table shows and positively make a difference...plus you get in FREE!

Much love and gratitude to all of you for making 2005 our busiest and most successful year ever. We are nothing without your support. Thank you so very much.
