So awesome to see so many of my old-school SIN 13, KLUB ATOMIX & WAX CLUB crew in one place last night! We might be a bit older & probably have Tinitus & sometimes we wear Blazers, but the good Vibes Remain....

Sept 2015: what can I say about my first of several shows as the direct support for my all time favorite band other than it was amazing. A massive audience loved my set & went crazy for the band’s first visit to San Antonio in nearly 2 decades.

A message from Front 242
Today, we reach out to you, our fans, with a heavy yet hopeful heart to share the news of our final concerts. Now, we are preparing to bring down the curtain on our live performances as FRONT 242, we find ourselves navigating a sea of emotions.

So, we are extending our invitation to you: join us for one last adventure. Let's make these final shows a celebration of the incredible journey we've shared. We promise to deliver performances that capture the heart and soul-of FRONT 242, a fitting farewell to a story we've written together.
