On April 4TH the band Mushroomhead returned to the Fort and returned to Grade A Tattoos, for some ink. When they are in town, we are really happy to see their tour bus, pull in into Piere's parking lot, because we get to visit and catch up, on everything. WE also get to meet the new Bands that are with them.

Jeffery Nothing was the first in the door, wanting a rather large tattoo on his stomach, and spent most of the day, while Och worked on him. It is still hard to believe that he has this tattoo done one hour before he had to get into his costume and perform on that hot stage.  I bet it was just a little ouchey!!! Coming into see us this year was Psyclon Nine, and Human Abstract.

Mushroomhead is an eight person Nu-Metal / Alernative Metal band based in Cleveland Ohio.  They formed in 1993; the band can be described as an electric blend of alternative heavy metal, hip hop and industrial influences. The various members of Mushroomhead have identified themselves by each adopting masks or facial disguises as well as individual pseudonyms. They are known to give people shows they do not forget, as they think people deserve a show along with music, They will never be a band that just stands there and sings in their jeans and t-shirts. They are very different before masking up, these guys are really great guys and we certainly enjoyed spending the day with them.

 
Little Dan is back with Mushroomhead on the drums, last time we saw him, he was with Dope, and he gave us a drum head and a symbol, and some drums sticks, that we put on wall in our lobby, and he was shocked see them in the lobby, along with our Mushroomhead Mask, and our signed guitar from Three Days Grace.   This is a picture of Little Dan and his shrine.

Little Dan also got some work done on this fingers from Och, along with Kroger, from Human Abstract.
