Afterhours Sets
Night three got off to a bit of a slow start. Dave Richards was up against Skillet and boy did they draw a crowd. Fortunately immediately after Skillet left the stage, Afterhours was the next hottest place to be. By the end of Dave’s set the house was packed and primed for Greg “Stryke” Chin. {enclose ah2010_night2_dave_richards.mp3}

Dave Richards now hosts a new monthly podcast on Tastyfresh.com called FreshBeats which features some of the latest music on the market today.
In addition to this, Dave is the stage manager for the Afterhours Dance Club at the Cornerstone Music Festival. The festival itself is over 25 years old and has had an EDM stage since at least 1997. In 2007, the stage manager’s mantle was passed on to Dave.

Currently, Dave works as the label manager for MK837 with his partners in crime deeflash and Kevin Oneel. World domination through “Jelly Doughnut” diplomacy is sure to follow.
