WA Gigs / Re: Burn The Mass - RTR Critical Mass Fundraiser w\ Suffer, Eleventh @ Civic March 6

^ its not about that...
i definitely dont give a crap about "brutal" or "true" metal...
and i wouldve attended this gig.

All I'm saying is fair enough to expect people not to double/triple/quadruple-book metal gigs, but I wouldn't call this strictly a metal gig, in that I can see it drawing a very different crowd to the other stuff that's on that night

Dude I'd say the people who had these shows booked had them book for awhile but didn't post anything until thing were all sorted, after this thread was started. After the next month or so when promotors have to book more venues I'd like to see things start working out and multiple booking started to be ironed out. Promotors have to work together.

I suggest an admin only section on wf for anyone who is a promotor so they can do an unofficial gig post as soon as they have a date booked, if one is already posted then don't book one on that day. That was the masses cant see it until its fully legit and ready to be promoted.

Also international gigs and days of interest would be good to throw in.

A promotors only section that is organised with daz to get another password, maybe a certain criteria is need to be classed as a promotor and not a whistleblower for international gigs etc, etc.

Doesn't really solve the issue of every saturday of the year being booked out by one person though, does it.

"New Post:

I book every saturday of the year. You have been totally warned.

lolthanks."

Constructive criticism will be ignored!!
You should be grateful there is a gig at all!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

i thought this thread was here for some fucking good reasons, but apparently not - after mentioning the double / triple booking gigs - fucktards STILL organised a 3rd bloody motherfucking show on the same day (March 6th)
and i wouldve attended that fucking show if i wasnt already playing a fucking show.
see the dilemma?!?!

WHY ARE PEOPLE BLIND!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? im fucking sick of this!!!!!!

Oh no!! A Suffer gig that clashes with a metal gig!

STOP THE PRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Now you also have to choose between Grim Fandango and a metal gig. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They're all so similar I can't decide!!$%@#%$$@

There should only be one gig on in Perth for each night of the week, regardless of genre!!!!!

I dunno; this gig isn't exactly a tribute to "brutal metal" or "true metal' or whatever you wanna call it, so surely it's reaching out to a different audience.
I'd expect this to pull a much mpre punk crowd, so your metal gigs are pretty safe

p.s. Brenton, I'm in!

I don't think it's about voting for "friends" as much as it's voting for people who make music that you go for. So play more grind, and if it's not half-assed, I'll vote for you. Easy.

as for the punk/rock gigs on saturdays we already do plenty of those every other night, we'd just be saturating another genre.

With the close of the Hydie, I'm sure another venue stepping up and holding Saturday night punk shows wouldn't exactly be the end of the world

What are the costs of the occasional license? From what I'm reading if under 250 people are anticipated, it's only $50? The website is really confusing though

Sometimes the appeal of a local gig is because it's a value-added night at the pub. You can go and see your mates at the bar, while there's a half-decent band playing.

So yes, this is why the venue itself and the price of drinks is a factor at a regular weekend gig (i.e. not a launch, not a festival, not an international band). It should be a place you actually want to go to. Some venues even Maxi P would have a hard time saving.

The Hydie was always fun to hang out at even if the bands weren't the greatest, because it just plain had a good vibe.

^I agree with this RE: the venue choice

I think I've been focusing too heavily on how to make gigs at The Castle more appealing, because yeah, I'm already pretty much down with the other venues if the band is right.

I can't hear anyone over the sound of my heart bleeding for bar owners paying all those damn taxes while driving $100000 cars.

tax is not a such a dirty word after all.

just an evil concept

Yeah, local gigs and heavy drinking go hand in hand!

I agree that a line-up has to be fucking amazing to justify expensive drinks.
There should be more drink specials.

No. Profit Margin is pretty important.

yeah, but profit margin on beer is meant to be pretty high, right?
like the cost price is sfa?

if making your middies $1 cheaper doubles your customers, then surely it's a good move?
