Meet the Manager

Ozzie M.

Manager

Necromancer Productions was conceived in 1994 by the friendly minded Ozzie Mortanis, but Ozzie has been doing shows since the late 80’s, he thought wouldn’t it be so cool that he could take a character of his creation (Necromancer Mortanis) and turn it into a killer company that promotes the local music seen which is way better than the dam radio poo that you hear day in and day out looped, repetitious nonesense! the main premise of Necromancer Productions is to make sure bands have FUN, create more places for bands to play while having a dam good time at it, also keeping shows cheap so people can afford to go to a show! 5 or more bands. @ GUSSY’s Fun and VALUE are our middle name always! lets not forget COZY atmosphere!
