THE RAT-Boston 1993-94

………………………………. ADULT MATERIAL- MATURE VIEWING ONLY ……………………………

By JOHN ZEWIZZ -(8/26/23)-

Many ov Inner-X-Musick Videos have been Removed-(Deleted)- by Facebook and U-Tube over the past 11+ years. We have most ov them. But Not all ov them. Az you will notice some are R-Rated at Best. They have actually Viewed all the SLEEPCHAMBER videos checking for “Extreme Sexual Content”. (Community Standards Policy). To a degree I can understand how some videos may bother the U-Tube teams, but the last Deletion ov a Channel THE OFFICIAL SLEEPCHAMBER FAN PAGE waz an overreaction based on Nothing. I Personally checked the uploads to avoid such an issue and can honestly say … there waz “NO EXTREME SEXUAL CONTENT”. And we all know that theze Networks always have The Last Say in theze matters. On the other hand I will admit that there haz been SLEEPCHAMBER Videos that could be considered az pushing the line. But THE OFFICIAL SLEEPCHAMBER FAN PAGE contained No Such videos. There were No Strikes and waz uploaded in 2014 with No Problems. Until recently. With No New Videos being added since 2014. Its at the point where I’m so tired ov Censorship Issues that I refuse to continue getting Deleted and BANNED for Life. This Private Website will have to be the location ov much ov the Live & Erotick Burlesque performances. You know when U-Tube deletes almost 100 uploads-(Songs & Video)- that google haz to go behind them and repair all the Info on Videos & Songs they emotionally were Angry by and Remove the google Info that haz listed them in the search engines and remove all the posting and info ov Musick that haz been established by google alga rhythms for over 8-years. Some still listed. When you try to LINK them you get the below post:

YOU TUBE Makes SLEEPCHAMBER the #1 Most Banned Musick on The Internet

At one point in time both Facebook and U-Tube were attaching an ADULT BLOCK to Sign In on with your Facebook account to prove you were over 18 years ov age. No Problem. It advanced to a degree where you had to SIGN IN and the upload contained No Video !! It waz not a well thought out concept. It waz based on The Cover Artwork. Famous and historical erotick images were offensive or disturbing they decieded. At first it waz very puzzling. Because you could already see the Image. I waz expecting a sexual video or something. Yet, it waz only a Song. No footage or video ?? Just a Photo. Now, they have stepped up the game and Blur any images they deem too sexual. Which iz fine. At least it makes sense. Yet, the damage waz done. In Fear ov having their Channels deleted many Musick fans began to show the back covers to CDs and vinyl LPs. (pictured below) Actual upload ov a SLEEPCHAMBER Back-Cover to avoid un needed drama. We suggest that when uploading a SLEEPCHAMBER piece ov Musick you avoid chances that may cause you deletion or loss ov your Channel -(Songs only-Not Videos)-

That iz called “Loosing the Concept ov the Project”. But I understand. Admirers who support or like SLEEPCHAMBER want to upload Musick they respect or enjoy. At the same time they understand Censorship penalties are costly. So, they instinctively adapt to the rules ov the Engagement. Making SLEEPCHAMBER Product much more respected and admired. I agree that underage minors should not have access to Adult and mature concepts. Its known az Common Decency. I am not a fan ov decadence or corruption. I will not post anymore erotick or sexual videos to theze networks. For a few reasons. I will respect their confusing Community Standards and offer my artist expressionism Privately. Here. I have always told you that I will never beg for LIKES, SUBSCRIPTIONS or DONATIONS. I am quite fixed in my philosophy in life. I have evolved into a simple and happy life. I have fought all the battles I care to fight. I have had a Great adventurous Lifestyle. Better than most. I Died and returned back to this existence -(another story-another time). From a combination ov experience, Insight and blessings I have survived everything from decades ov addiction, sexual obsessions, Occult adventures and enlightenment. Even the investigations into a poor girl I never knew yet waz a suspect in her horrific murder. I have lost Soul-mates and close SLEEPCHAMBER collaborators. The many Souls that have kum and gone in my life iz astonishing.

While the current society strives to be ‘Special’ …Important … and Influential they Fail to reach the Nexus ov enlightenment. Your Ego iz your worst enemy. It haz a way ov building up notions that to matter, you must prove your concept ov the culture and how you are above all the others in the herd. Our New Culture encourages group insight. To establish a false sense ov power and control. You have always herd us claim to be THE ULTIMATE MINORITY. Do you understand this ? Truly ? Or reject your Destiny, Only to accept Fate az your final surrender to Fear. Only THE INDIVIDUAL reflects the true concepts ov existence. .. “There iz No Security in Existence … We are All Subject to the Natural Order” .(Jonathan Briley / John Zewizz). 1987 / / / “You are who You have Made Yourself”. (Zewizz/Briley 1988) …. “Reality iz brutal … Survival depends on the instinct and reverence ov The True Will “.(Briley/Zewizz 1989) / / /”Everything iz a Lie … and that’s The Truth”.(Zewizz 2021). “Salvation iz the understanding ov all Souls”.-(Zewizz 2019) /// “With our Loss ov Innocence kums the Corruption ov our Reality … Any Corruption ov Innocence iz unacceptable. It iz the Ultimate Failure to Existence” …(Zewizz 2019). / / “Alphas are born from a natural cosmic balance that requires leadership and instinctive trust” -(Briley/Zewizz 1990)-.

EXCLUSIVE Videos

THE RAT SHOWS … 10/23/1993 and

…5/28/1994 (Part # 1)

Many ov theze videos were deleted along with other Rare and hard to find Historic parts ov SLEEPCHAMBER History. You may not like some ov them like Me. I found the above RAT CLUB Performance to go against my concept ov erotica. It may be shocking, but that’s eazy. Putting on a true erotic burlesque performance iz very difficult. When you got a crew ov 25+ people-(Dancers, Band, Sound, Video, Roadies, etc) it gets overwhelming very quickly. I had to hire ‘Blockers’ to keep my whole pride ov members away from me here. I had the worst anxiety. Plus local Rock Cable TV waz filming. You got to check the Fog machine, TV Monitors, Incense, Industrial fan, Monitor mix, Mics, Set list, making sure each BARBITCHUETTE knows what song she iz in, Lights, Feathers, Security, Drinks, and much more. And everyone wants to talk to you. Shiiittttttt…….. You really can not depend on anyone. The band iz too buzy with soundcheck. The Soundman Sucks …he haz been there 21 years and fights with everyone. The Sound sucked and We had a new guitarist who waz good on “Monkeyman” but shitty on all other songs he failed to practice. He thought he could improvise. MONKEYMAN waz my favorite piece ov the complete set. THE BARBITCHUETTES got way out ov control and were disciplined for the S&M Overkill the next day by Me. MONKEYMAN-(Below)-

THE RATHSKELLAR- (aKa- THE RAT)- Waz one ov Boston’s most Punk underground Shitholes. Yet, it waz Home to many unsigned and underground Boston bands. SLEEPCHAMBER started playing there in 1984 and played more than 12 Shows up until its closing and the passing ov owner “Mitch’. We delt with many ov the staff including New owner ‘Jim” and Pissy house soundman ‘Granny’. It waz always a nightmare. But the owner always paid my request ov $2500. no matter if he made it at the door sales or not. SLEEP CHAMBER Always SOLD OUT. They always Requested a ‘Toned Down Show’ …and the night ov the Performance it waz requested to be “Full On’. Well, one ov our final Performances iz posted here. I let THE BARBITCHUETTES off their leach. A Mistake. I Had a new guitarist that did fine in the opening “MONKEYMAN” but waz lost through the whole set. My fault for No Rehearsal’s. I waz lazy that way. I assumed improv would work az it did in the past. Well, once in awhile it shits the bed. Performance waz Crazy and band waz lost. I waz unhappy with the extreme acts that I never depend on. Like whipping a New BARBITCHUETTE through 3-Songs. I gave them plenty ov shit for being out-ov-Control. I wanted Eroticka, Not shock ~

BAND :

SLEEPCHAMBER Line-UP for RAT SHOW-Boston 10/23/ 1993 Included : ASHLEY SWANSON-Guitar, JAY KEEGAN-Drums, (Unknown Guitarist #2), ARTHUR WOZNIC-Keyboards, JOHN ZEWIZZ-Vocals.

SET LIST : (1993 Show)

POSTER / Handbill 1993 show

SLEEPCHAMBER had just lost ELAINE WALKER in the band. After releasing the SIAMESE SUCCUBI Release Elaine did some shows in 1992 to early 1993. Then moved on. Last Song we did together waz “DREAMS NEVER KUM TRUE”. There waz another track “THE GREAT & SECRET SHOW” which waz released az an ‘0fficial video’ on the SEDUCTION VHS Tape. And she started some backing trax for “SINGING IN THE RAIN”. Which waz done az an opening track during SLEEPCHAMBERS ‘Cockwork Orange’ Halloween show in 1991 I think. Then I dumped it. The song waz impossible to arrange. I kinda could not sing it. We did not rehearse it and it needed to be rehearsed. (What a mess)-

I waz drafting out ov odd-lots for members. Between 1993-1994 it waz slim pickens for Individuals that would fit in the Pride ov musicians. The ones that are capable ov existing in the ranks ov kaos and lunacy within the rules and lifestyle ov a SLEEPCHAMBER ‘0fficial member’. There have been many guitarist especially that last a show or two. Most leave. I had only two forced out because ov not understanding who iz the Alpha and just how things work. I can’t even remember their names. ARTHUR WOZNIC took ELAINE WALKERS Place just before we did the 1992 SLEEP CHAMBER LEATHER & LUST TOUR ov California. No, Elaine did Not go on the tour. EUGENE DIFRANCISCO waz an ‘0fficial member’ but remained fluid. Hiz best input waz Studio work. Even though he had done many live shows, he hated touring. Most married members do. Like JONATHAN BRILEY. It does not adapt well-(being married) when it kums to spending time on the road.

SORRY THIS PAGE WENT ON LONGER THAN PLANNED …. Watch For VIDEOS #2 (Update) on Exclusive Video not allowed on U-Tube or other Networks. I got confused with some ov THE RAT Performances-(Many)- A “RAT PAGE” iz needed. SLEEPCHAMBER played there over 10 times. And we got some Great history on this Venue. From Video, Photos, Flyers, etc. Not next but will slowly be constructed. I know I have the Master RAT Performance when SLEEPCHAMBER First played there in 1985. Suggestions in Comment section. I have about seven Pages in current ongoing production. SHOUT US OUT !!
