[QUOTE="armageddonday:142601"]I really only know the RI scene better, cause that's where I book shows. It's pretty sick (aka Rattus show last Friday) most of the time, but we need to work hard for it, it just doesn't happen that way. Most of you guys must hate my guts cause I haven't book your band yet, but the fact is that RI only has one all ages venue (and I refuse to book a 18+ or 21+ show whatsoever). That leave us with very little dates open. Again, I'm not the only one putting shows together here. Most of the shows we book are touring punk/hardcore bands (80's style not metalcore or NYHC), most of the time from overseas, and most of these bands have politics and all, and for me to put a metal band in one of these shows, first I have to see them, and then I have to be sure that I'm not going to hear anything about faggots, rape, and pro war/Bush crap. I'm not being PC here but if I want to mix both scenes, then I have to be sure it's going to work out and not end up in negativity/fights whatever. As far as bands, if someone put you on a show, you should promote it and not expect the promoter to do all the show by him/herself. That's how it used to work in the 80's and I don't understand why it stopped. I defenitely know a lot of bands who only show up at their shows (or their buddies shows), and won't make to effort to go to other shows, that sucks but what can you do? You cant force people to go at shows. Bottom line. RI is tough with bands they don't know, and sometimes, people won't move and will listen and clap, but that's tough when you play, and it takes a few time for the crowd to warm up here. [/QUOTE]
