Laura:
Please tell us a little about yourself, Mr. Jaques.
Wes:
I am an introvert, very quiet guy who loooooooves music. I have much to say but usually, I keep my opinions to myself because they would not be approved of by many. Instead of being bothered with it, I just stay quiet.
I played in bands, guitar, bass, and drums. I’ve been in the recording studio, on the road and I have a broadcasting degree. I love radio, long walks on the beach, and Drew Barrymore?
I don’t know really what to say. I’m a dude that Iives in Oklahoma City with my family, my dogs, and my ever-growing music memorabilia collection.
Laura:
How long have you been working in the music scene?
Wes:
I guess if you include the bands I’ve played in since I was 16, it’s been a while. Being in a band does not constitute one in the biz. Very unpopular statement there. I do not know if I am in the biz, am I?
What I do is so anti biz, the biz has torches and pitchforks out for me. I started in radio to go against the grain to be like no other DJ and well, that was not well accepted.
I started writing music reviews for The Metal Observer, which at the time 2001-ish was still located in Germany and only did reviews in German, well until me. I started The American Office of TMO and a few years later ended up at Wacken with full press credentials lol, it was hella cool.
So, I guess it was 2001 when I got stamped with being “IN” The Biz.
Laura:
Do you have a favorite music genre?
Wes:
Yep! Jazz, I am a total jazz nerd. When I’m not grinding like a cracked out mad person listening to Discordance Axis, I enjoy Count Basie, Glenn Miller, and the likes.
Laura:
Your support of the music scene is very much appreciated! What’s coming up for the rest of 2020?
Wes:
It’s s good to hear that. It is a lonely thankless job. So thank you.
That is a good question. If I am blessed enough to have the business to keep me busy. Metal Coffee will continue to deliver killer PR! I’ve also launched Incipio Records 2 and bands are now recording. First bands are hush, hush right now. Wink, wink.
Laura:
