biographical info
Kelp founder Jon Bartlett's Rhume is still kicking, slowly chipping away at a new album. Maybe 2010?? Old compadre Jarrett Bartlett is on the bass, 'Ape' Jamie Gullikson trashes skins, Chris Page wields an axe and the littlest-man-that-could John J. Higney Jr. also plays lumberjack.
"A truly amazing night of rock. Rhume more than any other band I've seen at Wavelength turned the Sunday night social into weekend rock bender.
How could the show be topped? For an encore, some burly dude dressed in wrestling tights and a wrestling mask comes out and hammers Bartlett over the head with a steel chair. Bartlett rolls off the stage to the club's floor. Said wrestler follows him down, props him up on two additional chairs, climbs up onto the subwoofer unit stage left. With steel chair in hand he dives off the sub and into Bartlett's chest who gets sandwiched between wrestler/chair and chairs/floor. Rhume forced me to drink."- Brodie, Hammer Rocker
