Thanks for the effort man!
The biggest problem is i cant uncirculate the material and I cant detach the connection to this asshole that will forever be drawn from google keywords. The primary problem is a local one, this guy cant get booked off his lackluster, shit band so he is riding my dick to try to tap the dubstep market.
Id be satisfied with him stopping with the damage he has already done though. He needs to fix his facebook name and stop circulating other peoples material. If he would present things he's done legitimately with his band, there would be no problem.
But turning 'Basick Sickness' into 'Basick A.' to cover up for the tags and handing out my shit to try to tap a new market. Not gonna fly.

I am friends with several promoters from there and I couldn't imagine any of them booking fakers.
Do you know Wes (DVS) or Tall?
Yeah, both great people. It wasnt a major gig, one of the ones that get brushed under the carpet on lolli, fact of the matter though.
Im going to pm you the link, Id like to avoid this turning into a promotional thread for this asshole... Any chance you guys could take down the youtube vid? Please?

Contact the venues he's playing at. I'm sure there's flyers. Also let local promoters know.

My tweet -- "don't use other artists material to land gigs, you'll lose cred"
his reply was "Jokes? I don't know the other artist. but im glad hes following me on twitter. and out [sic] genres dont mix"
I can't understand what that means, maybe hes saying you don't even play the same genre, and he doesnt know you. So ur alleging that he used your mix to land gigs and has sneakily added the "A" in case a promoter gets curious about tags that are embedded on the files?
cuz that's beyond asking for it... that's like demanding a beating.

And he claims he doesnt know me, while talking to me on facebook, using my name, circulating my shit, and ect.
And I dont have twitter to follow him.

Well, we can all just hope that in the end it will all backfire. He will get to the gig and not perform nearly anything close to what people expected, and end up losing all cred.
Until then.... I have no problem spamming his facebook/twitter.
Organization is key here. Lots will be willing to support the cause. If we all spend a few hours spamming him at once, he will probably give in. (Atleast it worked on a "friend of mine's" band who was stealing music.)

He's pretty devout that hes not fixing things, regardless of if it effects him or his band mates... Which is a shame, to do this and make it reflect on his friends... but as it is.
however, any help spamming his inbox with 'Stop using Basic A. shizz' is encouraged until he stops.
I made the promise if he stopped Id have these these threads removed. Lets hope he caves on that eventually.
