Year Zero was around from 1994 until 1996. James Dunn played the guitar. Brandon McDearis played the drums. Heather McIntosh played the bass on tracks 1 through 10. Matt Ciccarelli played the bass on 11 through 17. I “sang.”
We attempted to tour once and half of our shows fell through. We ended up playing at: A club in Richmond (I forget which, but the guy who set up the show was nice); Eric Wareheim’s (Elements of Need, I Am Heaven, etc.) apt. in Philly (Some guy kept talking on his cel phone while we were playing); Georgetown U with Make-Up and Meltdown; Knoxville at Landspeed Records (We played our first song to about ten teenage kids that I deliberately mislead by telling them we sounded like Pantera. They walked out after the first song and we played the rest of our set to the other band).
Live July 16, 1996.

Choking Set The Clock Burn UnlimitedThis show was at a place called BLT’s which closed up a few months later. I had negotiated a certain cut of the door for the touring bands, The Warmers, and Make-Up, with someone who claimed to represent the place. That night, some douchebag who looked like a coked up Kenny Rogers showed up. Allegedly, he was the owner. He took almost all the money. His employees and the bands were arguing with him.
I remember a serene combination of anger and poise on Steve Gamboa’s face while he argued with the guy. It was like even when dealing with a total fuck he accepted the transaction as part of some larger chess game that anyone could play. I just felt weak and embarrassed that this guy was ripping the bands off. I didn’t really know what to do. I swore never to book another band’s show after that. I still haven’t. I don’t want to feel like a powerless intermediary with no recourse.
The Warmers were amazing.
