Gauging Interest: a RTTP band night @ Skybar in Somerville?[views:6881][posts:69]____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:48am - Othniel77 ""] Greetings, all! This is Anderson Mar, booking agent for the Skybar in Somerville, MA: http://skybar.us We've had several very successful metal shows at my venue in the past. Currently, we generally don't have live music on Sunday nights. I would like to change that. Would any bands (who can draw, and not with a crayon, either!) be interested in playing on an early 3-band bill(doors at 7 PM, bands on at 8, 9, 10 PM, respectively, each doing 45 minute sets)? Everything would be over and done with by 11 PM, getting everyone out the door and home in time to be well-rested for dayjobhell the next day. Since the Chopping Block closed 2-3 years ago, and rumor has it that O'Briens is "closed for renovations", the Boston area needs a home for metal. I want to be the catalyst for this by offering my venue for weekly Sunday night metal shows. Any takers?

| __________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 11:06am - mcmahon ""] I'd be down for that. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 11:09am - Othniel77 ""] Mid afternoon? How early are we talking? It's been my experience that it's hard to get fans out on a Sunday a/n (sports games, family schtuff, etc). |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 11:12am - DreamingInExile ""] the mid-afternoon thing should depend on what time the Pats game is on HAHAHA |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 11:12am - watchmaker666 ""] I propose a Masshole Elite show Watchmaker Abhorred Hirudinea but none of us can draw, well Brian is pretty good but thats it |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 11:17am - dreadkill ""] i want to do this. it would rule. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 11:28am - Othniel77 ""] Do you guys from DS want to set one of them up? I'd like start in January. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 11:31am - dreadkill ""] we would love to set one up. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 11:33am - Othniel77 ""] Shoot me an email and we'll get that underway. Let me know what Sun in Jan. you want. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 11:36am - dreadkill ""] ok, we'll talk it over and get back to you. |

| _____________________________ [Dec 12,2006 3:55pm - pam ""] I think it's a great idea, Anderson. The more venues actively supporting metal the better. I wouldn't do it earlier, either...no one goes to early shows. I'd LOVE to set one up if you'd be willing to let me. I think I could put together a really good draw/lineup. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 4:01pm - DrewBlood@Work ""] Great idea, the skybar is about a 15 minute walk from my house and it would give more bands a place to play. What kind of cover are you thinking if any? |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 4:12pm - HostileTakeoverdod ""] Hostile Takeover would be intrested! |
| ______________________________ [Dec 12,2006 4:22pm - awol ""] I'm sure Devil's Champion would be willing to grace everyone with our presence |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 4:52pm - RichHorror ""] I can't wait to see this RTTP show filled with bands that rarely/never post on RTTP. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 4:54pm - dreadkill ""] crimson blade should headline one of these shows |
| _________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 4:54pm - mcmahon ""] when you gonna play up this way, richard? |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 4:54pm - RichHorror ""] When someone asks me to. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 4:58pm - mcmahon ""] I'm asking you to. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 5:01pm - RichHorror ""] I accept. Especially if it's the Brickhouse and they still have that deal with drinks for bands. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 7:19pm - Todd NLI ""] Rich should play at mMilly's |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 7:20pm - RichHorror ""] Ok, set it up. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 7:21pm - Dwellingsickness ""] except it would be the Milly's with 1 "M". damn not being logged in and able to edit shit |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 8:06pm - Dwellingsickness ""] Maybe I can set something up with Jimbo, we definitely should book a show together |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 8:40pm - RichHorror ""] I'm into it. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:00pm - KeithMutiny ""] Throwing Shrapnel Rich Horror and the Screaming Nervous Breakdowns Anomalous now theres a bill to start a bitchfest... |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:02pm - hungtableed ""] burn my remains needs shows check out the new site (which is still under construction) http://home.comcast.net/~burnmyremains |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:03pm - RichHorror ""] Fuck. I clicked on this thread to say basically the same thing. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:03pm - RichHorror ""] I mean, what Keith said. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:10pm - KeithMutiny ""] beat ya too it. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:11pm - RichHorror ""] Someone make this happen. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:16pm - KeithMutiny ""] that bill would be a better draw than 90% of shows i see posted on here. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:19pm - RichHorror ""] Do it up, Keefer. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:20pm - W3 nli ""] yeah but put Burn My Remains on it too |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:20pm - RichHorror ""] There's a show. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:24pm - RichHorror ""] Sean forgot the SCREAMING. :( |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:31pm - KeithMutiny ""] hey now, those arent bottom of the barrel bands. not all of them. most of them, yes, but not ALL of them. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:31pm - W3 nli ""] i am a horrible person and shouldnt be allowed to drink milkshakes for a whole day |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:32pm - RichHorror ""] I WANT MILKSHAKE |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:33pm - dreadkill ""] i had a milkshake earlier. it wasn't very good and it was a ripoff. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:34pm - RichHorror ""] If the Skybar can't do it, this lineup should take place somewhere. RI would be cool. The last time I played there kids pigpiled on me for a song they totally didn't know the words to and showered me with beer. I would like to have that happen again. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:35pm - KeithMutiny ""] [img] NO MILKSHAKE FOR YOU! |

I'd like to see this show, But booking it up here in NH would probably be a bad idea.Cuz everyone knows people from Mass don't like to come to NH for a show. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:51pm - RichHorror ""] Sad but true. But you should do this-- Goreality for one show, since they probably would draw alone. Us and TS for a show. Anomalous and BMR for a show. Contemporize, maaaaaaaaaaaan. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:54pm - W3 nli ""] yeah but id like to play with BMR at some point |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:55pm - RichHorror ""] Point is, you can do any combo of those bands, and have a steady stream of MA bands playing in NH. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:58pm - W3 nli ""] yeah but weve only played NH four times in two years, NH hates us. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:59pm - hungtableed ""] I certainly wouldn't mind snagging a show with throwing shrapnel either, our first real show was with you guys a few years ago at obrians |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 9:59pm - RichHorror ""] I've only played NH once in three years. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:04pm - DrewBlood@Work ""] If by NH you mean, 'your mom', then I can't even count how many times I've played NH. baaa-zing! |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:04pm - RichHorror ""] My mom died last February. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:06pm - W3 nli ""] hungtableed said:I certainly wouldn't mind snagging a show with throwing shrapnel either, our first real show was with you guys a few years ago at obrians yeah that feb 05 show, that was our first show. goodtimes ten mins 4 songs and two interludes. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:06pm - DrewBlood@Work ""] RichHorror said:My mom died last February. Yeah, I noticed that she was better in bed. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:07pm - RichHorror ""] Um, she actually did die. Ask around. See you at your show in Providence, cunt. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:07pm - W3 nli ""] he'll kill you in a drunken drugged rampage, dont poke the tiger just cause youre on the otherside of the cage. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:10pm - DrewBlood@Work ""] No disrespect, I just though you were joking. I'm sorry for your loss. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:17pm - KeithMutiny ""] ooh, even im uncomfortable after reading this now. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:24pm - RichHorror ""] He apologized and knows powerviolence, so I won't go to your show to get arrested now. Only to get hammered and score drugs. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:25pm - DrewBlood@Work ""] Lets bro down and watch Death Wish III while listening to Infest |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 10:26pm - RichHorror ""] Deal. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 11:07pm - Dankill ""] Make this shit happen |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 11:13pm - Execution_Style ""] The Skybar is about 10 minutes from my house. That would be nifty. I ought to get out of my house more. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 13,2006 7:27am - KeithMutiny ""] if that show happens, you have to make a shitting kittens flyer too. |
