I has a great interview with Corey Fox on Friday. Cory is the owner and manager of Velour, a live music gallery in Provo. Corey began managing local bands in the early nineties. His ventures in local music eventually led him to Wrapsody, a venue he managed from '96-'00. He also managed Muse Music from '02-'05, before opening his own venue. He spoke of promoting shows during the ska craze in Utah county. "Swim Herschel Swim shows were a thousand people [in attendance]. That's unheard of these days."Cory was also kind enough to dig up some old promotional posters, flyers, concert tickets and newspaper articles. I was able to scan the lot of them.
I like the shot. Great backdrop.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he had a lot of great insight, considering all that he was there for as the ska scene developed.
