So... what's the actual order of play? 

[hatefueled]

not tellin!  mwahahaha

[metalhawk]

to many gigs!!! i thought the metal nights were going to be every second?

oh well...divide between pat hogen, cutting edge and this gig?...good luck 2 everyone!!!

[IFRC]

Yeah double booking is one thing that i guess is unavoidable from time to time, but triple booking    in a city as small as Perth? forget about it. why don't you put another gig on IronGuirdian, theres not enough on this date

[hatefueled]

The castle does metal gigs every Saturday night no matter what all the pubs are doing. it'd be stupid closing for the night just because there's another gig on in Perth that night.

I put on one once a month myself, but the Castle still opens up every other weekend. Most of the time their Saturday nights go under the radar, but Paula has started to get the hang of putting decent bands on the line-ups.

and Rowland seems to have gotten the hang of being a smart ass. subtle one, but a smart ass. *shakes fist in air at him* ha ha. im booking the 22nd n 29th too.

[Sheriff Cunt]

gogo set times so i can plan my night 

[hatefueled]

Subtle is best.

I have to agree, to many gigs on the same night gets a poor turnout. Ironguardian has one on the 8th, then there's the 15th, now apparently the 22nd & 29th, 19th of September also (all at The Castle) and I'm sure another few will pop up...

While these promoters are doing a great job, it seems a band wanting to put on a show themselves has to contact these guys to avoid a clash which I think really sux because most promoters take there cut of the cash. The bands get paid fuck all as it is and it leaves them less for the recordings etc

I organised a gig at The Castle about 7 months ago, didn't take any cash for myself just divided the money evenly between the four bands and they got $280 each band for a 40 minute set. Comments were "are you sure, we've never got that much here before"

While I like The Castle and often defend it, I think these regular gigs need to be fewer...

Once or twice a month is sweet, twice a week (which it sometimes is) is ridiculous...

It sux for sure to play a gig on the same night as other bands, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.  I mean, we found ourselves gigging in competition with Psycroptic last time they hit town, you can imagine the turnout, probably no more than 40 people there and we considered that a positive outcome. 

I don't think you can have too much metal going on, but I think that different venues need to pay more attention to what is going on.  There has to be a point where venues will reject metal as a gigging option because of overbooking and competition.  The more centralised locations like the Rocket Room and Amps won't suffer on numbers because of the amount of random blow-ins that will wash up on the shore, but the othr venues are less likely to pull random crowds and rely heavily on scene support. 

I think Iron Guardian has hit the nail there, the quality of the lineup is gonna be the big breaker here.  Enforce and Nexus vs Pathogen Vs Mhorgl, you would think that the hydie will get the numbers there.

Whichever way it goes, I think the Castle should be commended for making Metal its biggest food group.  It shows a lot of faith in us and we should support it whenever we can.

Well like I said the castle does metal every saturday. I've been told to book metal on saturdays and not to mess with that because then metal heads will turn up on a saturday wondering whats going on if they find a rock line up on the stage.  and yeah, the random crowds are turning up to those other venues no matter whats on the stage because they're a bar with a lil stage, the castle is a stage with a lil bar. People come for the bands not the booze.

[DamoESP]

Its been like this for years and although the odd occasions you might get a crappy turn out when there are 3/4 gigs on the same night....the good nights far outwiegh the bad.

Just roll with it, fans of the band will still go to the gig of the band they want to see, and each venue has its regulars that go to the venue no matter what is on. Obviously you try your best to make sure that you dont have ngihts double/triple booked etc, but sometimes it can't be help, and so be it, just roll with it, and have a good night

haha piss off, I didn't get anything banned from The Castle thankyou very much

[hatefueled]

Its jack Daniels with tequila and coke. Apparently theres a cocktail made pretty much the same, an american one, called gasoline, and I figured since my username on lots o sites is hatefueled and i like tequila and LOVE jack n coke, I decided to adopt it as my own lil cocktail. So far its been a lil too strong for most people who've tried it though.

[Sheriff Cunt]

I will try one this Saturday methinks 

[Mago_Haydz]

I'll have a hate fueled.....  minus the tequilla
