THERE ARE GOING TO BE THINGS SAID HERE THAT YOU MAY NOT LIKE ... You have been warned:
Nick, WE do know that is why Dave booked it, and to be completely honest as much as I really like him, COME ON GUYS could you REALLY EXPECT ANYTHING LESS? THATS DAVE!!!! Adrien YOU out of ALL PEOPLE should know that! I honestly find it humorous! Then again my sense of humor is very twisted as well...
SO FOR THE RECORD HERE IT IS IN WRITING!
Reasons 31Goings is Not playing:
-Sage you told me VERBATIM "31 is THE draw out there because it most of your's home town"
-Sage you ALSO told me VERBATIM "CTMP is co-headlining and they REFUSE to sell tickets for me anymore"
-SOOOOO... Why are we going to do all this work, Bust OUR ass to sell a FIFTEEN DOLLAR TICKET, to an ARCADE SHOW, to our FRIENDS, so that we can get back seat to a band who "refuses" to do any work? Yes promoting and having fans "attending on facebook" is great but ask any promoter, having money in hand and tickets sold with a REALISTIC head count is WAY BETTER!
-Adrien I have never had any bad encounters with you mate nor do I want to! You're a good dood and I'll admit it, your band is GREAT! However you are always talking about building the scene up, helping other bands, and making Rochester what it should be! When in retrospective, I hear you REFUSE (that was the word I was told) REFUSE to sell tickets! How is that helping any other bands man? How is that building up the scene? To me and everyone else in my band (minus ricky I guess) that looks like you making all the other bands do all the work as you reap from their/our efforts. Your own band member stated: "i mean at least sirens and such gold earned there way to the top" This is a FACT! and another FACT, NO BAND in Rochester or outside, is at the point where they are able to not sell tickets! Name any band you like, I GUARANTEE you can find their tickets for sale online somewhere. Is it different, of course, but tickets are tickets no matter what way you look at them. "national bands" don't have the ability to "pre-sale" actual tickets hand to hand to their fans because they are not in that town for but a few hours. However they do have others ways to get tickets out to people. But a home town band, "refusing" to sell tickets, contorts my mind. This is Not the first time I have heard that CMTP refuses to sell tickets. You guys are a great band dood and I'm saying that honestly, Im just stating what I HAVE BEEN TOLD.
-Sage I love you to death, but this is not the first time you asked us to play a show and I said "I think so but let me double check" and you put us on the flyer. Then when we realize we can't do it and its made out like we "dropped it" when we never really confirmed it man. We LOVE playing shows with you mang, Its ALWAYS A GOOD TIME but I'll get back to you means just that. We are getting a lot of shit, for "dropping" this show when we never officially were playing it."
and Playing "dave's show" over "dave's old band's show" doesnt help
THEIR BEEF IS BETWEEN THEM! Not 31Goings, Not CMTP, Not Sage or any one else, so getting dragged into it in the first place is BS!!!
-Dave DID ASK US to play this show back at Ragefest, then again at the Young Blood's C.D. release, the date was never announced but we did actually confirm it. THE DATE WAS ALL DAVE what can I say, Thats Dave....did this REALLY surprise any of you? Also not that it matter, but I am currently filling in for another band and they happen to have gotten asked to play that night at Winter Sucks, I can't physically be in two places at once. We are fully aware of that we are getting an early time slot, but at least we will get what we earned...
