heres a few random thoughts
1.real monitors and better mic's (shure sm48 work real good at half what a sm58 costs it's what doug and i always use) and definantly a drum monitor
2. you can only get some many people to come to a show relying on JUST the bands promoting * the club needs to take out ad's in some of the local music rags and the boston phenoix
3. selling tickets is ok in my opinion as long as it's not counted against the band for future shows (jarrods keeps a computer file like that) the palladium gives the tix to you and say do the best you can(some shows i had no problem selling em others i couldn't have gave em away) in the end i'd rather wory about playing rather than OMG did we sell enough tix(theres a club in haverhill that requirs that when opening for national headliners you sell a mandatory 50 or some stupid# or you can't play*jarrods told me this also* )
4. clean up the stage lose the lights in the box if they arn't serving a purpose why have em there
4. back line all the bands amps in advance and take em off as the bands go along the only thing the should be going on the stage in between bands should be the drums unless there is absolutly no room to do this this should always be done you'd be surprised at how much time this would save
the bomb shelter has great potential of being a top n.e. club just the rough edges need to be ironed out

I also heard about that, and that they take photo's of the girls "lude acts" and put them on "pay for" porno web sites.

Every band that played were excellent, Im glad that they all could come up, esp. Fall of Decrepitude who really impressed me. A simple thank you really goes a long way. Im glad that all bands, including Malignancy were understanding about how bad the turnout for the show was.
It looks like my only hope (unfortunately) is Club Marquee in Worcester for holding another show like this. All clubs in Boston just email me back saying that "they have never heard of these bands" or that they dont know of their sales base. Which is fine, that is how they operate their business. Maybe theres a good venue in Rhode Island that i could get in touch with.
This has been the 3rd failed show in a row that I have set up. I just dont get whats wrong with metal people...the whole "my band isnt playing so i wont go" mentality really has to stop. Obviously im not in it to make a profit, but to help a lazy scene here in NE. THis has only made me angrier and kept me motivated to succeed, and to prove myself wrong.
If anyone knows of a good club, in MA, or RI, that has a sound system, with all ages policies, please let me know, because im not gonna stop until this bullshit ends, and I want to give bands who want exposure a fucking chance.
[Jan 27,2004 1:34pm - litacore ""]
hmm--Terence have you considered some of the local campuses? Granted it's been well over a decade since I put on a concert at Emerson but I remember they were proud moments for me, had decent turnout, and the bands shredded like fuck. Certain pitfalls abound, but if you want I can tell of what I went through--
didn't Seth go to Emerson too? I'll bet some of the guys at WERS would love to have Ascendancy play at the Caf!
if you've already gone this route though please forgive my naivete!
it aint exactly a revenue magnet but win new fans, sell some merch?
[Jan 27,2004 1:35pm - Joe/NotCommon ""]
terence go onto AIM, i need to talk with you
[Jan 27,2004 1:36pm - Terence ""]
joe, give me a few minutes...
[Jan 27,2004 1:47pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
yeah a thousand thanks for putting us on that show Terence. All the bands were awesome. I just wish I could have seen the first 2 bands. I was looking forward to seeing Paul's band too. I keep fucking missing them. :( Doing two shows in one day isn't as bad as I thought it would be though.
And about the scene stuff... It seems like the best shows that I've been to have had nobody there. Fucked up.

Considering this was FOD's first "real" show i'd say it went pretty well minus that piss poor turnout. Other than that it was fun just to play and see Malignancy later on in the night. Ever since the palladium stopped booking death metal tours like death across america and bloodletting, it's really gone downhill for DM shows in the NE region.
[Jan 28,2004 12:53am - dwellingsickness ""]
Sounds like Terrence needs a hug or something,you tried we advertised,flyered,whatever,people around here are just fuckin lame,as far as advertising for something like that on the radio,there is none in this area that play DM except aaron's show, i'm sure he plugged it,although i have not listened to his show in a while, i'm never on that night ,to listen. DM shows never really worked at Chantilly's either if you remember so it's not just you or the bombshelter,its NH in general
[Jan 28,2004 2:09pm - the_reverend ""]
I think it's most places in general.
metal people are fucking lazy!
[Jan 28,2004 2:15pm - the_reverend ""]
actually, people who post here and listen to my show for the most part aren't lazy...
it's all the other people.
so I'm not about to preach to the choir.
[Jan 28,2004 2:17pm - subjugate ""]
i agree
[Jan 28,2004 4:53pm - BornSoVile ""]
it's fucked though, most of the people on here don't even listen to the radio show, as far as I know. I can cut some slack for the Malignancy show because it was a shorter time frame to work with and we didn't flyer any pallidium shows. where bloodletting we flyered several shows and even promoted it on fucking nasty habits with a two live sets (first time they ever did that). if anyone collects flyers like myself I'm sure you have a bloodletting one! oh well. what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
[Jan 28,2004 6:47pm - Terence ""]
BornSoVile said:oh well. what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
More like what doesnt kill me makes me stronger, Im the one taking all the hits Josh. But i know what you mean. I think the fact that the show did so poorly was cause it was in NH, since most of the people who paid to get in where from MA, or even RI.
Whatever though, Im not gonna make bands sell tickets to people for a show they wont even go to. Thats like asking someone for money. I'll probably either get a crappy venue and rent a PA or do a DIY show or something.
[Jan 28,2004 6:56pm - DeOdiumMortis ""]
We basically have two complete medium PAs already. If you get a dirt cheap venue we have enough gear to take care of just about anything, we'll just need to steal a bigger car and maybe a couple mic stands.
[Jan 28,2004 7:05pm - Terence ""]
right, I thought about that actually... we're gonna need longer chords though...and a bigger boat...
[Jan 28,2004 7:55pm - DeOdiumMortis ""]
I have two 100 foot speaker cables if we need em.

dude, trust me, if i lived in that area, i so would have been there. man that shit pisses me off so much. ATTENTION METAL HEADS!!! FAILURE TO ATTEND METAL SHOWS RESULTS IN YOUR FAVORITE BANDS BEING UNABLE TO AFFORD THEIR NEXT STUDIO RECORDING!!!! IF YOU GIVE A SHIT AT ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO, BUY THE BANDS' CDS, AND ATTEND THEIR CONCERTS WHEN THEY COME TO YOUR AREA. THIS IS WHY BACK IN THE MID 90'S PEOPLE SAID METAL WAS DEAD. WELL GET OFF YOUR FAT LAZY ASSES AND BRING IT BACK TO LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

terence i'm in 2 bands, when either one is ready to play out we should talk about playing together, either in NE or NJ. we could get a pretty good turnout in this area, mainly cause my drummer in one band is still in high school and he's been getting word out about the band
[Jan 29,2004 12:34am - succubus ""]
yeah one of your bands is played every damned week on RTTP
[Jan 29,2004 12:34am - Kalopsia ""]
Terence said:On a silly/lighter note this past friday someone told me that they arent going to this show cause they had free pay-per-view on Sundays...go figure.
if i were u, i would have shot him dead right there. the only reasonable excuse for metalheads to not go to a metal show is because you have work, family emergency, or something extremely important that HAD to be taken care of. i'm sick of this "i don't have money" bullshit. you mean to tell me you don't have ten fucking dollars? that's pathetic.
