Rootless Coffee Presents:

Dossier - Mike "Mikey" Elfers (Guitar/Multi-instramentalist in Vempire, Journalist) grew up in the heartland of the U.S., avoiding the violence of rednecks and sloughing off the top 40 C&W that the Nashville machine pumped into the lower 48 in favor of Punk Rock and New Wave. His background and interests are made self evident with the music of Vempire.

Mikey did not grow up a believer in the Other, it found him in a hotel room, and made itself evident in the most flagrant and intimate of manners. His experience was shared by multiple people, and is documented here by your 3:33 AM agents Nathaniel and Peter. Our overlords at Rootless Coffee fired scalding black magma down our gullets and we loved every second of it. If that's an appealing come on, tie on a serious caffein bender with our very own coupon code, SHADOW20 at https://www.rootlesscoffee.com! It's in a bag! Seriously!

Dossier - Cris 'Crude" Taylor is an artist and vocalist (Pg.99, Pygmy Lush...). He has been witness to myriad examples of otherness, traveled great swaths of this land (in vans not unlike the one this conversation had taken place within), and has experienced life as more than a mere observer. Chris has a rare and fascinating point of view, and taps into the commonalities and synchronistic nature of all beings in the universe, especially the people involved in this conversation. This is an excerpt of a much more expansive dialogue.

Rootless Coffee Presents:

Dossier - Case #003: Sean Ingram, Vocalist of Hardcore-Punk/Noise Rock giants Coalesce, Miasis, and Restrain, as well as founder of companies Blue Collar Press, Fixcraft, and Merchtable.

Sean discusses his youth in the midwestern skateboarding counterculture, discovering music via skate videos, finding Hardcore, the X-Files, living in a music vacuum, and becoming a musician. He touches upon the incidents that made Coalesce as infamous as they are "famous", the lasting impact of their musical output, and what the future holds for them as well as his new musical venture. We discuss the home he had shared with his wife that carried both a historical as well as spiritual significance, and his first public recounting of having coming face to face with the ghost of the home's former lady of the house. We also dig into the validity of UAP sightings, father's that are Veterans of the Vietnam war, and much more.
