Canobliss Becomes Psychothermia for Legal Reasons
Hello Fellow San Diegans, First and foremost best of luck to Psychothermia and their endeavors!!! Secondly, in fact, I was never contacted or given an opportunity to respond or be interviewed concerning these issues by The Reader. By all means, lets set it up! Thirdly, I intend to write a full story for The Reader describing in full detail the scope of the circumstances. The guys clearly DID NOT mention: - Melissa X. McColloch's passing in Dec. of 2009 while we were in the middle of recording our 2010 release. She suffered from breast cancer and as my significant other for 8 years, she required my attention and time above and beyond the bands needs. - Instead of rescheduling some shows and pushing the album date abit, band members committed us to "none paying" shows where extensive travel was required placing the band further in debt. - No mention of how I disapproved of members using hard drugs. Sure they came up with money for their vices but when it was time to invest in the band 3 out of 5 of us had to front 90% of the bill. - how is this one? While on the road band members split from the group to chase tail instead packing up to get to the next gig! Literally, trying to track guys down in a strange town, they have no cell phone, sometimes waiting for hours at a time, it became ridiculous! - Lastly, I am the original founding member, anyone that knows the band personally knows, I did 99% of the work from the get go, I aquired all the musicians to assemble the group, I wrote most of the early music and handle ALL of the business relations until Melissa became and Have to this day maintained all my rights and ownership due to me under U.S. Copyright and Trademark laws. The guys could have easily went on with the name but the problem was they wanted to cut me out completely and NOT pay a dime of what was/and still owed to me. If you re-read the original article you'll see they clearly state they legally would have had to do some future profit-sharing, once again, this is the law not me trying to get over on them, quite the contrary. Thank you to all the canobliss fans past, present and future ! Keep an eye out for new CANOBLISS music due out soon. Keep an eye out for the whole story. Perhaps, I'll do a full personal biographical book ***Psychothermia: The Untold Story*** After all, fans want to know the stories behind the scenes and man there are some great ones!
