please come early so you can see us. I think we're first, which is always the toughest spot to handle. There's plenty of "cold ones" for you, and I think there's eateries nearby, so you can eat if you get hungry, drink if you want drinky, meet new people, and have a blast on the cheap.

[Aug 30,2004 4:51pm - Josh_hates_you ""]
earth crisis? SWEET. every band on this site stole their riffs and breakdowns then made fun of them cause apparently that is the metal thing to do.

ATTN: BLUE BABY

[Aug 30,2004 5:04pm - RustedAngel ""]

Earth Crisis are responsible for hardcore.

Hooker said:Earth Crisis are responsible for hardcore.
metal core. hardcore was around way before victory records changed the definaition of what hardcore was supposed to be. SSD. negative approach. cromags.

Thanks. Jesus christ how's everyone's grasp on sarcasm on this board?
Oh broken?
Get that checked out.
[Aug 30,2004 5:24pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
yeah I almost want to write Mike and be like: Hey can this be $8 for the first 35 people? so that way people show up early.
and make some prize that you get if you stick around till the end...like a contest or something?
let's advertise the shit out of this so the first two bands aren't playing for nobody, and so the last two bands have people stick around.
and RK rips.
[Aug 30,2004 8:54pm - Rich Horror NLI ""]

[Aug 31,2004 11:36am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
fun times for all. fun times! fun times!
[Aug 31,2004 8:01pm - Rich Horror NLI ""]
IWEIPH isn't playing this now. Our drummer cowardly took his shit out of our space earlier today before practice. We aren't doing anything until September 30th at the New Wave with our new drummer, Justin.
[Aug 31,2004 8:47pm - dirteecrayon ""]

[Aug 31,2004 10:04pm - blue nli ""]

[Sep 1,2004 12:56am - Josh_hates_you ""]
systematic chaos broke up as well...............
[Sep 1,2004 9:02am - blue nli ""]
nice, all the bands are dropping off. this is gonna be a sweet show!
[Sep 1,2004 9:13am - succubus ""]
does that mean we get there on time and wait 3 hours for it to start?
[Sep 1,2004 9:16am - Siberia ""]
Isn't that usually how these things work Carina????
The first one didn't kick off 'til closer to 4:30.
[Sep 1,2004 9:19am - RustedAngel ""]
how gay is it that these bands got themselves on the bill and drop of less than a week before the show... How can they not play one last show? We're talkin like 3 or 4 bands that did this. W T F ?
ANY DEATH METAL BANDS WANT TO PLAY THIS LAST MINUTE, E-MAIL: skinsuit69@yahoo.com ASAP.
[Sep 1,2004 9:21am - blue nli ""]
play. play. play.
[Sep 1,2004 9:21am - succubus ""]
5 minutes hate should play again!!!
[Sep 1,2004 9:21am - blue nli ""]
yeah.
[Sep 1,2004 9:23am - succubus ""]
oh blue...i was talking to sarah last night and looks like my 17-55 is coming today! so i'll have it for saturday..we can do some more promo shots if you guys want...
[Sep 1,2004 9:39am - subjugate shn ""]
the club holds 700
the guy called me last nite said the frirst one didn't have a good draw and if this one dosent there won't be more shows like this there
[Sep 1,2004 9:56am - Siberia ""]
Naw, if they promote this one like they promoted the first one there's no chance for us to drive all the way down there to play for all the bands again. Besides, you've all seen us before anyway. The funny thing, I saw someone hanging a flyer for this show outside the club last saturday. All the rest of the flyers at the club are for like Lynard Skynard cover bands, ACDC Cover bands, Country Bands, etc. Not the crowd that would attend a killfest.
It really bothers me that clubs feel like they're 'taking a chance' putting on these shows and then they do nothing to promote them other than post them on their site. Web promotion is such a tiny piece of getting people into shows. But what can you do? What can I do? I'm 3+ hours from these venues and I work 8 hours, 5 days a week with an hour commute each way (yeah work consumes a ton of my time). Not like I can take a day off to flyer Leominster/Worcester area for these shows.
I feel that any club putting on a show should do everything they can to get people in. Spend a little to make a lot. There are plenty of small newspapers, radio shows, print zines, etc.
[Sep 1,2004 10:28am - subjugate shn ""]
i agree
he was telling me
if every band brings in at least 50 people it should be a decent show
[Sep 1,2004 11:42am - Siberia ""]
I'm surprised he didn't have us all sell tickets. He's a really nice guy though, I'm not bashing him, just clubs in general.
[Sep 1,2004 11:46am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
we've been promoting the huge dick and hairy ballls out of this.
I even went around flyering cambridge (the harvard area, anyway...I mean, there's always ManRay if someone wants to go there tonight and hand out flyers :D )
[Sep 1,2004 11:47am - subjugate shn ""]
he said he dosen't wanna have to make bands do that cause he hates having to do that
yea he was pretty cool on the phone
[Sep 1,2004 11:47am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
I agree, though, that promoters need to do their job, which is promoter. I can't speak on this situation, cause i don't know how much Mike or the club has done, but so many shows these days are under the freakin' radar.
[Sep 1,2004 12:09pm - Siberia ""]
So, you're flyering in Boston/Cambridge for a show in Leominster? Why not flyer Leominster/Fitchburg/Lowell/Worcester area instead. Isn't it a 45-60 minute drive to Leominster from Boston?
[Sep 1,2004 12:13pm - RustedAngel ""]
what's wrong with flyering boston?
[Sep 1,2004 12:20pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
Siberia said:Isn't it a 45-60 minute drive to Leominster from Boston?
I think you just answered your own question :P
we can't drive for 2hrs round trip to flyer for something on less than a week's notice, with no compensation (no gas money for the show), but what we can do is try and get a crowd that is more homebase to us to go and work on this area because promoters and other bands probably are having trouble getting into boston to do what is easy for us to do. That's why it's vital that clubs and promoters do their fair share of the legwork, for situations as stated.
truth be told, at least 3 of the bands on the bill (though slightly off-tilt because IWEIPH dropped off and I have been pushing them, too) have a boston interest, and i can make use of that to get people from the area to schlep out to see them.
the trick is that if every band on that bill flyered their home area, this would be canvasing the eastern half of the state and part of NH. Even 100 flyers per band (or less...we did 2 up flyers, so we got 2 for every copy we made) is cheap and will get at least 20 people.
Plus elicitng a Leominster scene might, comparably, take more work than just getting bar-hopping Greater Boston people, with cars, to go.
Is Liquid on the T? That will help the club a good deal.
[Sep 1,2004 12:21pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
For our NH stuff, we have made a deal with ourselves we will now drive up to flyer, since it's not quite the same as an MA-proper show.
[Sep 1,2004 12:22pm - Siberia ""]
It just doesn't make sense for a show that's an hour away. But it doesn't appear that there's any shows in Boston that night so I guess it's not a completely lost cause. I don't know, I'm just offering my suggestions.
[Sep 1,2004 12:25pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
well like I said, I haven't read any scene reviews of Leominster but I question how big the metal scene is there.
the tactful flyerer learns to bring people to him, and the people that like metal are around Boston/Cambridge/Worcester.
I can't stake my claim in Worcester as even knowing where to flyer there, but I can say that I definitely know the Boston area well enough to do that.
[Sep 1,2004 12:36pm - Siberia ""]
Cool, like I said I'm just offering suggestions.
[Sep 1,2004 12:58pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
you were making fun of me!!! I COULD TELL!!!
But lucky for me I am so quick I picked up on it immediately and defeated you with one fell swoop!!
ah ha ha ha!!!
Try and swashbuckle me now, will yee?!?!?!
:D
[Sep 1,2004 1:09pm - Siberia ""]
I still have yet to see any metal scene in Boston!
Will that work? My aims usually high and to the right so if I miss I'll likely hit whoever's sitting behind you!

i have seen a bunch of flyers in worcester and surrounding towns. there was one on the window of newbury comics in shrewsbury yesterday.
[Sep 1,2004 1:17pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
that is awesome, these are good things to know, especially cause i am trying to set some stuff up in Woostah
Siberia - There's a metal scene, and they are all either A) lazy pricks b) snobby c) goth d) under 21 e) only into "power metal" like maiden, manowar, etc. f) only into "metal" like FATA g)all of the above h) elitist
[Sep 1,2004 3:59pm - blue nli ""]
im g and h.
[Sep 1,2004 4:00pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
I'm "c"

It's hard to play one last show without a drummer.
