now and then, someone from the Atlantic City area emails (not calls, not approaches us in the street, emails) us
with trash talk, usually daring us to come out to a show or something where they can mix it up with us. The latest
one came from this character out of Lakewood, NJ named Dave who runs something he called ARS (we assume the "A"
is for Aryan), who kept trying to get us to come to a Call the Paramedics show. This is a band that because of
their associations with the boneheads in the Philly/Atlantic City scene, has been pretty much regulated to playing
venues that have no problem with Nazis in the joint. So it was rather curious that the show that we were being
dared to come out to was one of the more traveled venues in Philly. Apparently Call the Paramedics have kind
of expanded their reach a little, and we are not the only ones to take notice of this. The band is doing what they
can to downplay their neo-Nazi leanings and because of that they have been playing better venues. That's not going
over well with the rest of the scene, and antifa have been doing whatever they can to let people know what kind
of band they are so they are not accommodated. This call came out this weekend, a week after the band was supposed
to play a punk festival in New York City. That was the last straw, and it was a sign that the scene needed to be
cleaned up a bit. Hopefully each one of the shows listed with this call will be taken away from CTP, but if not,
at least it will be that much harder for them to book anything. If anyone feels like sending us emails over this
talking smack, feel free. Something tells us you are going to be pretty damned entertaining.</P>

<P>Call the Paramedics, a band based in Atlantic City with ties to neo-Nazi groups in the area, are now getting
larger shows and playing with national acts. This is a call to alert show attendees, promoters and venues as to
what this group and their members are about and urge all not to patronize or book them. <BR>
<BR>
Call the Paramedics has been around for a number of years but they had stayed particularly underground until recently.
They downplay their racist leanings significantly, painting themselves as merely a group that, likes to shock and
be offensive. One could make the argument that a tattoo on your behind of a unicorn with a Nazi swastika and the
words “White Power” may cross the shock value line, but the drummer Mike Beer has given the standard disclaimer
for that in an interview last year: “For the record, I am not a Nazi — I just like to make fun of everything. People
need to lighten up, and if they don’t like what I’m about? That’s fine with me. Join the rest of the crowd.” <BR>
<BR>
That however does not excuse the real connections the band, and especially the lead singer Shlak, has with the
crew Atlantic City “Skinheads” (ACS). The crew has been around since the 80s, and they saw a bit of press last
year, when an ACS associate named Walter Dille was convicted of killing an African-American woman during a botched
carjacking in a Hamilton Twp., NJ shopping center. The core of Call the Paramedics’ fan base comes from ACS, and
the band has even played a benefit show for ACS member Chris Arlen, who is suffering from Chron’s Disease. <BR>
<BR>
A number of shows from New Jersey to North Carolina have been announced for the band over the summer. On July 23,
they were originally scheduled to play Khyber in Philadelphia, a venue that just recently saw the assault of two
neo-Nazis at a Murphy’s Law show. That show has unexplainably been moved to the North Star Bar. Whether or not
the politics of Call the Paramedics were an issue in the move of the show, the fact remains is that in a multiracial
scene that neo-Nazis attempt to take over and drive people out, Call the Paramedics should be unwelcome. Again
we call on everyone to take issue with this band in our scene.</P>

days (if you do, let us know <A HREF="mailto:antifa-AT-onepeoplesproject.com">here</A>), a guy we believe is someone
named Tommy Turner (you can also help us confirm), Chris Arlen, who suffers from Chron's Disease and had a benefit
for himself with Call the Paramedics playing, and on the other side of Shlak is Scott Huston.</P>

with them is though.
