Juice Bruns

Rapper Juice Bruns received airplay all across the country with his song Crossroads during a nation wide campaign with Howard Rosen and associates in Los Angeles. The record was on a national college radio promotion for over 10 weeks. It was played at many college stations across the country. The Music Director of the top college station in the country, WTBU, raved about the song and everyone is looking forward to see what this young performer’s next move is.

Locally, this young rapper is making a splash as well. Juice headlined an appearance at Loyola University this past April, and plans to do many more college shows this year.

Psykotic Melody is a terrible band. Met them at otto bar and they have the worst attitudes I have ever seen. Big big heads and think there mega stars. Would not want to see them again

Jeff,
I apologize , although if this was a couple of months ago, they have since gotten new members, so that offending member may be gone. If recently, well , sometimes people can be pricks.

Please don.t judge all our bands, by one bad apple.I invite you to go friend "Noble Animals", they are much nicer. : )

Sincerely,
Manta Mike
P.S - It was Bobby Hammer right?

Thank you Mike, I'm not sure who it was in the band. He was the drummer,don't know any of their names. He was a major asshole though.Wouldn't even take the time to say hi but when my girlfriend walked up to us he sure paid her alot of attention. As if he was going to get with her right in front of me. Very laughable. It was the monday night show a week or two ago at the noise in the basement show. He seems to be a veey stuck up person. Thinks he is Mr rockstar. Bigger and more popular than he really is. You know. A wanna be. But I will check out the other band. Thank you

Hey Jeff I am Bobby Hammer I gotta admit I am very sorry for my actions that night. To be completely honest I try to not be that way!! That being said a few beers and the adrenaline playing can make anyone a ass sometimes!! But still that does not make it right!!! I would certainly not want this to affect or not like Manta Ray Mike the band or any of people who support the band the band!!! Jeff I would like to offer you 2 tickets to our next show! I would also like to buy you a beer and apologize to in person as I did act like a ass!!!
