[QUOTE="the_taste_of_cigarettes:130907"]I hope it makes some kind of impact. I figure the biggest complaint by people as to why the haven't booked anything or why they beg other people for shows instead of helping to do their own is that they don't know how. I assure the people that read this, though it is still not a myth that there is work involved and skill to doing a show right, the basic route to doing a show is like playing the harmonica: anyone can pick it up and do it off the bat. Maybe you won't be Johnny The Rocking Harmonica Blues Soloist on day one, but you WILL get a sound out of the thing. That said, show booking, via the route above, is 100% possible for anyone. Take a crack at it and help out the "scene", aka the collection of zines, friendships, folklore, bands, websites, etc that relate to metal, hardcore, "extreme" or "brutal" music. This way we get a greater sense of community, a better musical product that has to worry about money less, and shows that have a good, positive vibe. We can also take back what we do from places that force us to sell tickets, "get x # of heads or not play", or even charge us to play! For the same cost as 4 bands BUYING 20 tickets and having to sell them to play at a 21+ club, you could EASILY rent a hall and do your own show. And the PR from this -- the way our scene is not only perceived by outsiders but by each other -- is immeasurable.[/QUOTE]
