Mayhem! good stuff, that still wont stop us from putting on a mad show. Plenty of nights were gigs collide.
Whats wrong with the Civic? Great Venue and Wicked supporter of the Perth Original Metal scene, say what you will but they have some great shows there.
Looking forward to Bastardfest? organised by the same people who are doing 'Mayhems' Tour and funnily enough its at the Civic
I think you're missing the point.
I would say offhand that the grand majority of Perth's metal scene will be at the Mayhem gig, which is of course on the same night.
Therefore resulting in a more than likely disappointing turnout for this gig.
The venue is irrelevant - the Civic is a great venue, without question. But you either have to be extremely bold or extremely naive organizing a gig for the same night one of extreme metal's biggest bands are playing in town (not to mention a band that don't come here every 3 or 4 years like most others).
