Suggestions for Improvements to Next Club Oasis Extravaganza[views:37844][posts:288]________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 8:56am - RustyPS ""] To actually add something constructive to this thread for once, and I don't think anyone brought this up yet, but you might want to make it a little more structured as far set times go. Hashing out at least a rough schedule (I know you had an order, but having a rough estimate of times, especially for an 8 band show, helps alot) can help avoid alot of confusion about who's playing where, how long they have, etc. Saturday ended up going pretty smoothly, don't get me wrong, but to avoid any confusion in the future, that might be something to consider. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 8:58am - ouchdrummer ""] ^^^^Absolutely^^^^ (There were set times that were emailed to all the bands. (or at least to us)... I think the whole show kicked off rather late though, so those were kinda out the window....) But yes, set times help a lot. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 9:01am - RustyPS ""] I didn't get that e-mail, but doing that does help. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 9:03am - ouchdrummer ""] I totally agree... Rusty, i met you near the beginning of the night.. right? |
| ________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 9:07am - RustyPS ""] Yea, we had brief discussions throughout the night. We'll definitely brodown more in the future though, I thought you guys were very good. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 9:43am - FuckIsMySignature ""] The sound situation proved the most difficult to deal with. I had thought the soundguy I brought had all the equipment necessary but that ended up not being the case (also Tam's set up was in worse shape than i thought)... also he split after 2 bands and left me to run the sound and the show. As for the reason there was 8 bands - it was originally gonna be 6 but MFR sold me on HC and Boarcorpse since everyone was in eachothers bands, could share equipt and play shorter sets to fit everything in. I had no intention of doing another 8 band show but thought it would be nice if the first one was more like a festival type set up. Thanks for all the constructive criticism. It's highly appreciated and I respect alot of your opinions. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 3,2009 9:49am - ohai ""] For me the bands sounded fine from where I was, which was everywhere. You did a fine job FIMS. |
| ______________________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 11:00am - DogbiteDaveHumphreys ""] I thought this was an awesome show, but if I were to change anything, it would be that bands obey the Metal Law that states that if a band plays a Slayer song as its last song, that song shalt be Raining Blood, right? |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 11:13am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i prefer to break the law sir. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 11:21am - dreadkill ""] i hope i never have to see another metal band cover raining blood again. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 3,2009 12:06pm - blue ""] THIS SHOW SUCKED CAN MY BAND PLAY THE NEXT ONE OR YOU ARE A PUSSY |
| ________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 12:10pm - Kevord ""] Raining Blood is what they call in the buisness a cheap pop. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 1:05pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Here's my 18.5 cents: cheap beer drum/kick mic (snare mic?) mic stands - 2-3 boom, 1 straight less bands not the same bands keep the shows either a) tastefully varied or b) strongly themed (i.e., either a good mix like the other night or an all-out [slam/DM/BM/polka/whatever] night, but don't have 3 pizza party thrash bands and 1 wigger slam band or whatever.) hardcore bands can go to roman's the aforementioned merch lights emergency vag sand remover on-site (it's like an eyewash station but upside down) also signs pointing to where the hell it is - I spent enough years wandering around those halls looking for the Espresso Bar, thx If anyone disagrees with any of these points you're ruining the scene. |

I don't disagree with anything besides different bands... I WANNA PLAY IT AGAIN!! but no seriously, your got good points, i went to the ebar at least 50 times, and still those halls are confusing. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 1:11pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] I'm saying just not 3/4 of the same lineup - that gets old fast. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 1:14pm - Dave_Maggot ""] i wandered the halls in a drunken stupor, with a full bladder. i ended up in some strange empty hall far away listening to dance instructors though the walls. i thought i was gonna get offed by a machete jason vorhees style haha. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 3,2009 1:23pm - Yeti ""] hahaha i came across you videotaping yourself in a Bass Ale mirror. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 1:23pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] funny you say that cause someone was killed with a machete the night before a couple miles away. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 1:24pm - ouchdrummer ""] machetes are SERIOUS brutality. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 1:28pm - Martins ""] Definitely switch up some of the line up. I would love to see Boarcorpse again, and I was pleasantly surprised by HYEO and Hivesmasher. Dysentery always kills but I always get killed at Dysentery shows. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 1:30pm - Dave_Maggot ""] oh shit! so there was a possibillity of me actually really being macheted to death??? holy fuck. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 1:32pm - Dave_Maggot ""] i probably wouldnt have felt it though. i'd just be walking around with a machete sticking out of my skull. haha |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 3,2009 1:36pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i'm gonna get a couple friday and satuday dates this week and start settin some shit up. BSV - still waiting on an email from you. Actually also wanted to try to book your band on one of these shows. i'm definitely up for discussing booking opportunities and such. |

That was funny. Bands show up and play at set times. In order to share equipment, ask around or bring your own shit. I know this is alot to wrap all our heads around, but I know you guys can pull it off at the second metal show in MA. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 3,2009 1:36pm - BSV ""] you guys are throwing hissy fits! stop being negative! |

| ________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 4:49pm - brodown ""] The show was awesome. I usually like less bands, but it worked OK...obviously fixing the set times and starting on time would have helped, but hindsight is 20/20. It also would have helped if I didn't (literally) have to resort to throwing things to get the bartender/owner's attention to buy overpriced beer. Hivesmasher will come back anytime. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 4:51pm - dreadkill ""] i want to play at this place, if my band makes sense with the other bands playing that night. |

I totally understand, but i have a solution... When i wanted a drink, what i did was i put both my arms up in the air as if i wanted to be called on... twice!! and they always came over when they were finished with whatever they were doing. I guess it won't work if there are too many people doing it, but if it were only piters than i think it would work. |
