[QUOTE="Rockos:1128375"]I have been holding back for some time about this, But I think it is time to let it out of the bag. I have made it my personal mission to make every single band member and fan of local music in New England aware of his practices. I started working with New England Concerts in Feb of this year, I gave up my company because of the promises this guy told me. I have been booking bands and promoting shows for the last 4 years and at the time New England Concerts offered me a position and I felt like i had hit a dead end. I wanted more than anything to provide a fun, legit venue in NH for everyone to play at. New England Concerts offered me a sweet deal, Yes i took it not because of financial reasons but because of what New England Concerts was promising to do. If my decision would of been based purely on financial gain i would of never taken the job. In the end i was duped, I was scammed by the third largest so called promoter in New England. None of the promises he ever gave me where upheld, None of the tours he promised where ever bought. In fact he passed on a periphery/veil of maya/darkest hour tour because he did not know who they were.... I started feeling like i had made the wrong choice early in June, When the EYEHATEGOD tour was fast approaching. This tour was gonna cost New England Concerts $3000.00, However I was only able to find 2 bands willing to sell the tickets, In the end the week before the show i was forced to cancell the show because bands had only sold 20 tickets. If i had a choice on the matter i would of kept the show, Because thats what a legit promoter does. In this business if your not willing to take risks and man up to your guarantees than you should get out of the business quickly! In july New England Concerts booked the ANTI HERO tour for Nara Park in Acton MA, I was in charge of booking locals at 75 tickets each. I was promised that UNEARTH would be playing along with some other touring bands like Vanna, Our Last Night and etc etc, as the show was coming up, These bands were never confirmed and local bands started to pull out of the show, even though they had been making payments as scheduled for the tickets. Late August I decided to leave New England Concerts and start up my own company again. Bernie ( Who owns NEC ) called me into his office, claiming he had an idea to make this all work. In that meeting he stated, I want to release you from your contract ( even though the contract was void ) , I would like to let you book Rockos as i am trying to pull out of the club scene ( This is what he said, keep in mind he has no authority at Rockos ). At this point he also stated to me that the 5200.00 that was turned into him from local bands playing the ANTI HERO tour at Nara park had been spent by him and that there would be NO WAY to get it back. Wow!....He also stated that the show would be cancelled at Nara Park and if I wanted too i could take over the show. At first i was taken back by this, How could someone spend money that was not his in the first place, How could he keep this money and cancell the show... I took the show because of one reason only. These local bands i was not going to let anyone fuck over, Especially this fat asshole who drives a lexus and has a $750.00 a month payment on it. Some of these locals paid out of pocket so he could feed his fat belly and go to the strip clubs at night. The show was last Saturday and i took about a 2,000 loss, Now I am looking for New England Concerts to cover that cost. I am not looking for any of the other money that he took from the show or any of the money that I am owed from him for shows i worked. Bernie has threatened to sue me, If I don’t do his shows at Rockos that are currently scheduled. I personally don’t care. His shows wont happen. I will make every attempt to keep him out of Manchester and make every one aware of his practices. That is all. Thanks, Dave [/QUOTE]
