Braindead's Record Release

While I continue to wait for Vimeo to make the first move and rework their policies (see below), I've decided to share my footage of Braindead's record release. This was going to be part of a larger update with other local bands, but I'm unable to do so because of new restrictions on my Vimeo account. My BMX and "official" music videos have been taken down in order to make room for Braindead's set. While it sorta sucks for me, I figured it was my only option since I wanted to update the site. I'm hoping to resolve all the nonsense with Vimeo as soon as possible so I can focus on sharing my footage (and not have to make silly sacrifices). Anyway, enjoy.

Fees and more fees

It seems as though the file-hosting problem was only the beginning. All of my videos are hosted on Vimeo for many reasons: the ease of use and the great encoding/quality ratio. Their recent decision to add a pay account has left me with few options. The functionality of this site requires a basic feature that, while once free, has now been bundled with the pay account. I don't mind supporting Vimeo, but I cannot justify paying $60/year for such a small feature. The costs to maintain my operation are definitely adding up and I'd like to avoid turning into a business in order to stay afloat.

If you would like to help, please consider donating anything you can to help offset the costs.

Downloading...

The site hasn't been up for even a day and the server has been bogged down by the download requests. I'm psyched that people are watching the videos, but it's taking a huge toll on the server. Download links will not be immediately available for the time being. If there's a full set you want, please contact me and I will provide a link for you via e-mail.

Ideally, I'd like to get webspace somewhere to host the files. I don't have the money to do so right now, so I've decided to take the e-mail request route. Any money generated through donations will first go towards solving the file hosting issue. Again, my goal is to make these videos as accessible as humanly possible. I appreciate your understanding and apologize for the inconvenience.

Site launch!

Welcome to HATE5SIX.COM! This site serves as a central hub for all my videos. To celebrate the launch, I've put up full live sets by: Have Heart, Killing Time, Paint it Black, The First Step (the last show), The Hope Conspiracy, and Verse. You will find links to download each of these videos in its entirety.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or difficulties with the site. Be sure to check back frequently; I will constantly be adding new (and old) live footage.
