    They did extensive marketing there early in their career due to a dart throw on a mad to see if they could recreate their success in metro Detroit elsewhere.

        They did it around there and Colorado iirc. It’s been decades since I read Violent J’s autobiography. Interesting read, they worked their asses off with promotion.

          People make fun of them but they built their own little empire busting their asses consistently and a little luck. It’s admirable, they never sold out and had creative control the whole time.
