Suggestions for Improvements to Next Club Oasis Extravaganza

[views:38405][posts:288]

Since the last show went over so well I'm gonna try to book another for March/April. Any ideas for improvement would be great. Keep in mind the more realistic the suggestion the better.

tam's the kinda guy you'd probably want to see in person. he can be really fuckin gay about shit sometimes though and i wouldn't be surprised if he said he doesn't need anyone else booking metal shows if tom's already got one in the works. worth a shot though.

in all seriousness though, you should convince that fucker to sell canned pbr at a reasonable price. he could've sold em for a buck each and made a profit.

Actually i thought that the lineup worked great. People shared gear, people got on and off quick, and i don't think the turnout would've been as good with all the bands. It seemed to me that every band that played had people come just to see them, and most of them stuck around for the rest. So while i usually agree that 8 is too many, in this situation it worked well. Especially with all the room that the bands had for their equipment, without that space it would've been much harder.

As far as improvements, i don't have anything realistic to offer. I thought the night went over really well, and while there is always room for improvement, there was nothing that jumped out at me as needing to change.

yeah, the whole 3bucks a can for PBR was nuts. Maybe offer to pick up 10 cases of PBR/Naraggansett for him, and see if he'll sell em for 2.

But wasn't the only reason you didn't come out laziness? I was under the impression you were just to worn out to come? Or was it that you were cheating with some different band??

fuck that. that's a waste to do fucking 8 band shows there and only have 1 person book the joint. spread the love kid.

a smaller touring band would be good for the next show. i don't know who you should get or even who's coming around in that time frame. maybe you could snag one of the better nemhf bands depending on when you book it.

[Feb 2,2009 1:15pm - ouchdrummer ""]
wait, but i thought you didn't want more than 4 bands? Or are you saying that you would be cool with 8, as long as you could book it?

I was worn out from a 10 hour work day (which in retrospect I should've asked for off) and I had to be at a family party thing (which was lame) and there was another thing I had to be at (which I skipped). By the time I was done with the family party thing I was just tired enough that driving there and back would've been a bad move (I have a tendency to fall asleep at the wheel).

I almost cheated on you with Revocation, but parking around there was impossible.

no I would NEVER book 8 bands, at a venue like that. I'm never cool with 8 bands, it think it's hack and gives half assed bands an excuse to whore themselves out while not worrying about doing any promotion.
that sucks the big cheese there won't let anyone else book the club. fuck that place, sucks cause it coulda been cool.

Not that I'm disagreeing, but it just seemed to me like everything went great with 8 bands. I know that the headlining bands usaully don't like that many because people will get sick of the show and leave before them, but It seemed like there were just as many people for DYSENTERY as there was for anyone else. So why no more than 6? Like i said, not disagreeing, i just wanna know where your coming from.

I suggest talking to Tam in person first... he's usually there every night. I dont know how keen he is on giving out his cell number to people.

1.) 6-8 Bands. Seemed to work well this round. Try to book the same or most of the same ones. Maybe add a couple more to draw in more people.

2.) Try your best to chose a day that wont conflict with any other big shows going on.


3.) Announce early and often to build the suspense.


have fun rawk hard

the only real downside i could see from so many bands was that the money got split a lot of ways... but if you had this many again you could always do the "Who are you here to see" thing. And if bands don't bring people:
1.they get paid less
2.they won't get to play again

that way "half-ass" bands can't "whore" themselves out and nor promote.

i dunno, if this venue was serious about making shit happen they'd take the time to talk. clear sign that he is unmotivated to do things right and that booking there is probably way to much work than what it's worth. there really shouldn't be more than 2 shows a year there. it's basically a vfw with expensive beer and a big stage. i doubt i'll go there if there is more than 6 bands playing. they charging you for the room too?

It doesn't HAVE to be at club oasis. Besides no need to throw a hissy-fit over the way some douche runs his place. Move on and help find another, better place ^_^

that's a fucking terrible idea. don't ever put money first in this scene. you missed the boat!

he doesn't care about music as long as he's makin money at the bar, which is virtually impossible to fail at considering how he prices his shit.

I misread your statement. I'm a huge faggot

wow, i was just saying that was the only downside i saw, i could give a fuckless about money. Your the one saying that bands could "whore themselves" and not promote. Just trying to give a suggestion to avoid that. Your whinney.

[Feb 2,2009 1:38pm - sacreligion ""]
that's why the door guy does it. check marks are literally the most fair way to determine draw and pay, if you want to do it that way. if a band from out of town brings 25 people and a worcester band brought like 5, why should they get paid the same for working harder?
 ____________________________________
[Feb 2,2009 1:39pm - ouchdrummer ""]
well, you just ask when they pay and make a checkmark next to a bands name on a sheet. Real easy. But like i said, i don't care about the money, just trying to suggest a solution to BSV's stated issue.
