Big John D energy

 

and a SWEAR WORD?

 

Damn. I missed the part that said Allister is opening on a few dates!? Id be into that

 

The Menzingers, Catbite, bad cop bad cop. AC BEER FEST weekend cancelled due to poor sales. Thats unfortunate

 

Capulet Fest facebook page is gone lol
They said the promoter also deleted their personal profile

 

That reminds me of something…

 

Not sure which thread to put this tweet below but I watched Avril Lavigne's Glastonbury set on the live stream and she should of got moved up to the Pyramid Stage because the stage she was performing at was packed out... over 70,000 people while a few hours later, SZA's Sunday Pyramid Stage set... this post below says it all

 

That was a wild reading the detereation of Capult Fest and getting caught up on this thread.

 

I read a story recently that the same promoter recently approached Lions Lions about a reunion show and co headlining with Emery and a few other NE mainstays, he promises them X dollars, they practice get things going, they get the contract for the show, it’s a show at a different venue smaller capacity, Emery isn’t mentioned, it’s a bunch of smaller local bands the money is less than half what they were originally promised, so obviously it was a fuck off from them. Dude has def been fucking people over with money and promises on a small scale, but realizing he couldn’t get away with it on a larger scale, although one could argue he is gonna get away with it to an extent.

 

I saw about those stories on fb so wild

 

I’ll forever be upset at how many people were talking over The Cure when I saw them last year

 

I went to adjacent last year with my wife, my friend and two of her friends and during midtown my wife’s friend was talking so loud about her job and adjacent the sound wasn’t that loud to begin with. So the guy in front turns around and is like “hey can you talk quieter or move further back” tone of her voice doesn’t change and the dude goes “will you shut the fuck up” my wife is upset, the girls boyfriend is upset. I turn to my buddy and is like “I mean he isn’t wrong”

 

If you aren’t interested in a band take it to the lobby, back of the venue or bar. Don’t ruin it for anyone else because you don’t want to see a band. All of our money is the same color of green.

 

Worst is when the person you are with is trying to talk to YOU during a set you’re attempting to enjoy. Brutal.

 

i know it's different by market, but has anyone seen The Spill Canvas on this run and did they pull a decent crowd? Debating the show in my town but due to a lack of sets filled in on setlist.fm recently, I am sensing that it's perhaps not pulling in many sales.

 

This is my one buddy I go to most shows with. I have to say: “Tom, shut up. People are trying to watch the show.” And he’s also naturally loud. lol. But when I bring it up. He does stfu.

 

Axs tickets is having a red white and 2 for 1 sale this week but I haven’t seen where to actually find a list anywhere yet

 

Haha that's why I prefer going to shows alone.

 

I have a buddy who will always be the first one to say he wants to join me at a show, and every time we go he spends 75% of the show talking or doom scrolling instagram.

I ended up going to Something Corporate alone last week and there were still groups around me that just would not shut the fuck up. I'm like helloooo this band hasnt toured in 15 years and probably wont ever again, why did you spend money and travel all the way here to chitchat???

 

I didn't go to it, but I know they sold out the Buffalo date last week, looks like the venue holds 350.

 

I am firmly in the anti-talking / enjoy the music camp, but I think the answer to why people behave that way is that the show is probably just an excuse to get together and drink and less about the music itself and more about an activity to build a social gathering around. I think as festivals get more and more popular, and attending live music becomes less niche, you're going to get groups of people who treat it as an experience, and a hang out and they're really not there specifically for the music.
