John Joseph (Bloodclot/Cro-Mags) is Doing a Spoken Word Show at Webster Hall

Cro-Mags/FVK/Bloodclot (and occasional Bad Brains) frontman John Joseph is kicking off a spoken word tour next week. The NYC show is at The Studio @ Webster Hall on Saturday, Feb. 21st. Admission is $10 and the show starts at 7PM.

For anyone who (correctly) thinks that Rollins' spoken word tours get lamer by year, John is still the real deal. I saw him read from his book, "Evolution of a Cro-Magnon", last summer and he still knows how to hold the attention of everyone in the room.



Here are the upcoming spoken word tour dates:
Fri/​Feb-​20 - Phila​delph​ia,​ PA @ THE KHYBE​R.​
Doors​ @ 7:​00/​SHOW 8:00

Sat/​Feb-​21 - New York,​ NY @ WEBST​ER HALL(​THE STUDI​O)​ .

John Joseph: Book Release Party Interview, NYC, 6/19/08 (Cro-Mags, F.V.K., Bloodclot)

Last Thursday, John Joseph, vocalist for many of the great NYHC bands (Cro-Mags, F.V.K., Bad Brains, Bloodclot, etc.), had a book release party for his new book at The Delancey. John's new book is an autobiography entitled "The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon" and is available from www.punkhouse.org.

I had a chance to catch up with John at the beginning of the night and talked with him about the new book, his new band Bloodclot, his views on the current musical and cultural scene and his plans for the future.



John also did a book reading this night (second video to follow) and played a full Cro-Mags set.

More Dirty Laundry Aired on MySpace (Harley Flanagan vs John Joseph)

MySpace is getting interesting with the public slams between current and former band members. First, Axl slams Tracii Guns, yesterday Taime Downe went after Brent Muscat and now Bloodclot (John Joseph's new band) broadcast the following message yesterday.

Don't look for a Cro-Mags reunion anytime soon...

The Great Harley Flanagan who has not only Robbed other Bands, but wanted Half of OHC-MMA without putting one DIME into it is a sponge.

He wanted Half of a company for use of his picture and when asked to contribute he screamed, and yelled and threatened but never came through HE IS A USER OF PEOPLE and once he gets what he wants or doesn't he shits all over you, and does posts to harm you

Harley straight up you re-nigged on everything you gave nothing, and used me until it did'nt suit your needs YOU ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL HARDCORE MMA, and YOU ARE THE RIP OFF ARTIST.

You are no Purple Belt, and you can't pummel you fucked up the Cro-Mags , and USE everyone around you. THOSE ARE THE FACTS. If anyone wants to delete us please do so, but know that Harley Flanagan is NOT WHAT EVERYONE THINKS HE IS.
1. You Steal From Sony
2. You Steal From Your Friends
3. You Steal From The State
4. You Stole from Paris
5. You Stole from John
6. YOU ARE NO PURPLE BELT Lets ask Renzo.
7. You drove the Cro-Mags apart

You threaten to hurt people when you don't get your way.... Grow up and stop being bitter...Just move on with your Life.
