Bands such as Blink 182 ,Agent 51, Sprung Monkey , Unwritten Law started at the San Diego, CA music venue called SOMA . SOMA was an all ages club with a heavy emphasis on local bands.This is where many bands grew up and became national touring bands by starting off on the smaller stage and then growing their audience to get to the main stage and open for national acts as well as headline their own shows . Jerm booked bands and ran the club from November 1989 until 1997 .Jer took over running the club and eventually opened the latest version with Scott Raynor years later . We helped grow the scene and bands such as Blink 182 ,Agent 51, Sprung Monkey , Unwritten Law ,Ghoulspoon ,Slightly Stoopid , P.O.D. ,Buck-O-Nine , and many many others as well as National acts such as Green Day , No Doubt , KORN who had become regulars as far as main stage acts . Jerm & Jer talk with band members , production friends and patrons about the scene and shows .Union and Metro is recorded at Jerm's house , headquarters for Red Rum Skates ( skateboard company ) . The club is now owned by a corporation and has a whole new crew working there .

Having band members in 3 different states , practicing becomes different and touring is basically the way to get everyone together. We chat about international tours as well their live album and enough material for 2 more albums .
Jeff's introduction to playing with G-Spot and replacement drummer on tour with Buck O Nine . John Bell (UnwrittenLaw ) going on tour .
Jeff seems to have a nervous stomach before playing .
Lots of names dropped and lots of history !
