From drumming in Apathy to running Bands for Bands Entertainment, Elan Schwartz has made the leap from the stage to the promoter's chair. He’s booked everything from unknown locals to big-name nationals—and seen all the rookie mistakes along the way. We talk about what bands need to get booked, why most don’t have an EPK, and what really makes a promoter take notice. If you're trying to get shows, don’t skip this one.

Christian “Pito” Petersen is a veteran of extreme music with deep roots in the Metal underground. With over ten bands and 35 years under his belt—including the horror-laced assault of Zombie Hate Brigade, the punishing heaviness of Adnauseam, and the raw power of Legion of Death—Pito’s story is one of relentless creativity and scene loyalty.

In this episode, we talk band history, old-school horror influences, chaotic shows, studio experiences, and what it means to keep pushing forward after decades in the game.
