On June 17th it was reported on blabbermouth.net that the band had announced it will not be performing at the festival. The band’s guitarist, Ted Aguilar, stated, "We are NOT playing the Milwaukee Metalfest this year. We NEVER confirmed to play and they just put our name on the bill without us confirming. So don't buy tickets if you're going to see DEATH ANGEL." This is a common practice of Koshick and his Metalfest promotions.

MILWAUKEE, WI - The promoter for Milwaukee Metalfest XVIII, John C. Koshick, doing business
as, Jack Koshick Presents, was served court papers from the band Hell On
Earth on Monday, April 19. ________________________________________________ NEWS: PROMOTER LIES, CHEATS BAND AND USES BAPTIST CHURCH AS SCAPEGOAT PINELLAS PARK, FL – Promoter for the Sun n' Steel Metalfest, Jack Koshick claimed that John LaChance, Pinellas Expo Center’s General Manager, would cancel the entire event due to threats from a Baptist Fundamentalist group if industrial rock band, Hell On Earth was not removed from the line-up. Though an independent investigation, led by band leader, BillY Tourtelot, it was revealed that no Baptists had telephoned the venue nor did LaChance threaten to cancel the event. After telephone calls and face to face conversations with LaChance, it was stated that Hell On Earth was welcomed to play their set and that no threats had ever been made to Koshick in regards to the performance of Hell On Earth. LaChance did say that he received one telephone call from a “Christian extremist” alerting him of the planned Consensual Cannibalism. LaChance conveyed to Koshick that he did not want such an act to be performed at the Pinellas Expo Center and suggested that the band hold the Consensual Cannibalism offsite. When he had learned that Hell On Earth had already done the Consensual Cannibalism from seeing it on the band's website, he was completely at ease with the band. “After all,” he said, “Metalfest is all about the music.” Koshick had signed a contract with Hell On Earth to perform at Metalfest in hopes to generate publicity without hiring a local promoter. Koshick admitted in a conversation with the band's webmaster that he did not hire a publicist or promoter in hopes that word of mouth, internet, and Hell On Earth’s reputation would generate publicity for the show. Koshick was first aware of the potential that the kind of exposure a band like Hell On Earth would generate after last year’s worldwide publicity following the announcement of the now infamous "Suicide Show." Koshick had stated that he was very impressed with Hell On Earth and Tourtelot’s reputation as a performer and he would love for them to perform at Metalfest. But, when it came down to paying the band the money that he owed them, he refused to honor their contract. ________________________________________________________________ THE JACK KOSHICK HALL OF SHAME Hell On Earth’s situation with Jack Koshick is not an isolated incident. He also is the promoter for March Metal Meltdown and Milwaukee Metalfest. Below are some quotes from other bands and music industry professionals who have had dealings with Koshick. "...he's (Jack Koshick) doing nothing but insulting us
and the bands. He must be stopped. Boycott anything he promotes." "What a joke that thing is (Metalfest)...It's just an
unorganized mess." "We did a show for Milwaukee Metalfest though, and it
was really bad. That guy Jack Koshick he does nothing." "Remember when Jack Koshick was more concerned with
putting on a killer show than making a buck? (Milwaukee Money Fest)." "I do not like Jack Koshick and the way he goes about
it. I think he’s a fucking scumbag. I really do. I don’t think he’s good for
the scene. If he thinks he’s helping the scene then he’s got some crazy
ideas. You know about the play to pay thing? Charging even the bands that
get 10 minutes $1000 a pop to play." "I think this festival (Metalfest) is infamous for
incompetence. It's just a question of not dealing with Jack Koshick again." |
