Todd's sister, April, was the drummer for 100 Proof at the time and often assisted Todd in his duties as manager. When 100 Proof disbanded in 1989, April was asked by local Dallas band Pulp Society to use her music industry expertise to aid them in obtaining employment at local clubs. President, April Samuels, has since attended several seminars, exhibits, and music industry functions through the
Dallas Songwriters Association, Austin Songwriters Group, South by Southwest, the Sony R&B Workshop and Rock 'n Roll Fantasy Camp. During April's career, she has booked over 50 different regional acts - handling as many bands as 13 at one time. April has also worked for Planet Dallas Studios (Dallas, TX) in the Publishing Department, worked as a salesperson for Texas Beat Magazine (Austin, TX), and was the assistant booking agent for the former club, The Basement (Dallas, TX). April is the owner of 100 Proof Entertainment, a member of ASCAP, a drum set instructor, endorsed by Stick-Flip, Grover Pro and Silverfox Percussion, and a drummer for hire. April is also a breast cancer survivor. She speaks on occasion regarding her experience at both private and public functions, discussing the trials and tribulations of her journey, and how early detection saved her life. Because of her bout with cancer, April is actively involved in Komen for the Cure events and benefit concerts, and is also on the committee for Swim Across America - Making Waves in the Fight Against Cancer.
