   79 Arthur Shepherd Bar/Venue Owner ( Mind Over Matter - Errortype:Eleven - Primitive Weapons - Wreck Age Records)

   This week’s guest dreamed of having a bar where his favorite bands could play, and he made it happen beyond anyone’s expectations. Saint Vitus in Greenpoint, Brooklyn is not only a popular neighborhood bar, it hosts bands that no other club their size would ever manage to land. In our interview, we talk about Arty's teen years as a metalhead on Long Island, seeing the world in iconic hardcore bands like Mind Over Matter, and what led him to become the proprietor of multiple venues in NYC. We’re ending this series on a high note, so enjoy this episode, and maybe we’ll see you again in the future. Thanks to all of our listeners for a great run.
