From the Saint Vitus Shop- SAINT VITUS BAR: THE FIRST TEN YEARS, AN ORAL AND VISUAL HISTORY, written and pieced together by esteemed photographer, director and Saint Vitus colleague Nathaniel Shannon, is a massive 350-page deep dive, collaged archive, exploring the first decade of Saint Vitus Bar.

With over 100 contributors, The First Ten Years presents interviews, stories, photographs, posters, essays and tons of other never before seen documents from the bars history, including a foreword by Walter Schreifels from Quicksand, and featuring tidbits from Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Jeff Walker of Carcass, Saint Vitus (band), The Descendents, Anthrax, Against Me! Eyehategod, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Armed, Chuck Klosterman, and many many many more.

Nathaniel Shannon was catapulted into my orbit via my dear friend Damien Moyal. Since our meeting, he and I have become great friends, and together have much in store for the future. In this part 1, we discuss his intro to music, the creation of the book, Hum, The Pixies, Limblifter, aliens fingering their buttholes, his documentary work on Deadguy - Killing Music.... We dig deep. You should too.
