Thanks for the correction Seth. We did not play last night, I just wanted to make sure you and your readers understood that it was an impostor. This is like the first time our name has been in print in a while, even if it wasn’t for our band, so I’ll chalk it up to professional development! Cheers!

Hey Aaron. This was totally my fuck-up, so I apologize. I would also add that you should be annoyed at the mistake and there was nothing about your comment that sounded elitist. I’ve made the correction on the blog post and will do the same on the website on Monday. I hope you saw that I was poking fun at the L.A. scene and not saying that you should go check out the band because of it. I hate the fact that so many bands and musicians, once they get a little buzz going here in San Diego, decide to move to L.A. or S.F. or wherever the fuck, to try and get a break. I appreciate what you guys do and for sticking it out in the S.D. scene. I like to think that I have “local know-how,” as you put it, but even the best of us make mistakes. It won’t happen again my friend.

Hey there, dude. San Diego’s ONLY Widows have been playing in town for coming on four years, and are made up of myself, Max Bristol, Chris Bieck, and Cody Young – not whoever this dude is, who our fair city supposedly molded the talents of. Then again, the commercial support of real underground music is by nature hard to come by, and contradictory to its roots, so I guess I apologize if I am coming off as annoyed, or elitist. I simply am writing to you with the hopes that you will take note of the fact that the real Widows have two records out, on Green Door Records, and have been kicking people’s asses across the stage for twice as long as Drew Barrymore’s supposed favorite new band. You want to know who likes our band? Obviously not anyone more famous than some local low-bro dirt bag, but at least we do not seek credibility through the dated, impotent so-called LA music industry. Please do your research before promoting shows, especially when you want to sound like you have local know-how.
