pony up them duckets turdburglar!
you need to learn to read what i write dawg. i said made duckets, nothing about mad duckets. and none of those nerds will deny it.
buffalo sucks. i'll agree with you there.
but i've booked in 6 cities for 14 years, had a promotion company name for two years, and that was as a joke for a warehouse we hooked up. it was more a venue name than a promotion name. you knew thise promotion, you knew the venue. see for the most part the bands know my name. so they know I'M legit. no need for a promotion name. thats how the standard worked for years. a booking agent would call me or email me and say they got some bands that need shows, and i'd book them. with out some stupid moniker. or i'd call said booking agency and try to get a show. still didn't need a stupid moniker. see that? now silly little promotion name needed. just good ole my name.
I've been on all three ends. listener, booker, and performer (i'll stand by not calling myself a musician. i'm ok with that) i've worked with clubs and for clubs on those levels also. I've worked with promoters booking fucking journey. yeah not steven perry but you know, it still kinda counts. and that venue held a little more than 350 people. I don't like hardcore for the most part. it's stale and ruined by soulless copies cats and boring breakdowns. I've performed in pretentious avant garde noise projects. i get it. you think that the terrible "independent" music scene is great and viable. it's garbage. and thats coming from a guy who admits his projects are pretentious. so i know garbage.
it's an unfortunate truth that "scene points" do exist, and kids try to catch em all. thats why music in the rust belt sucks like it does. kids instead of trying to play incredible songs for friends across the country saw that these kids, playing with conviction started selling records on thier own so they figured they could be diy rockstars themselves, flooded a market full of stale generic pop punk, bro'd out hardcore, generic whatever core, some blast beats and stupid haircuts and boom there you have it. the new line up of AP.
i like small venues, because bigger venues are full of bigger douche bags. from security to promoters to bands to attendees.
also, i don't even listen to music. it's like you struck out on every fucking at bat you took there cupcake. please rock philosopher, tell me more.
