and more is confirmed?
[Aug 8,2007 8:02am - jrb2971 ""]
still setting up a headliner
[Aug 8,2007 8:47am - sinistas ""]
Revocation & Accursed Friday, Megadeth Saturday. Oh yes.

I'm still thinking of whether to give people 2 free hot dogs (metal weiners) or 2 free slices of pizza. I have a poll on www.metalshowcase.us - so lemme know what you peeps want.
also im' up for ideas.. does rttp or anyone else want to help sponsor? set up tables?
We are giving out tshirts to a handful of people who show up 1st. I'm thinking of some scheme to give out free cds also (oak knoll releases for now). I have some major labels sending me posters, samplers, etc to give out.
I'll help duplicate and put out any band demos, hand outs..
ya... for free.. so get in touch
the only other idea/dream i had was to have someone like Rich Horror do some sets in between sets. He would make an amazing MC and IWEIPH did them most amazing cover of "Take of Me" I've ever seen.. Which I'd love to see at the show (someday). We just have to see if we have another PA for that.
[Aug 8,2007 10:47am - Yeti ""]
definitely free pizza.
[Aug 8,2007 11:23am - jrb2971 ""]
How about the introduction of some metal showcase showgirls?
I think we are entertaining that idea. PG13 of course, but you know how the lovely metal girls love to show up to these things.[Aug 8,2007 12:20pm - theaccursedvokillist ""]
We are trying to get people to actually go to the bandstand. Its a pretty cool place. And we need for this show to go well if we want to have more metal shows there. I am working on a cool headliner as I type this!
[Aug 8,2007 12:23pm - Sinistas ""]
Pizza, for sure.

does this place still draw like shit?? we played one of the first shows they ever did and it was dead even though we played with some of the biggest bands from that area. we just got offered a sept show there, thats why im asking??
[Aug 8,2007 2:09pm - RichHorror ""]
I think it still does draw like shit, which is why Jeremy is trying to do these shows and build up the venue.
[Aug 8,2007 2:43pm - jrb2971 ""]
I'm open to ideas and I'm trying out some of them (free food, etc). Heck I wish they had booze and I could get you all hookers
I think it's going to take some perserverence but I'm going to give it a try. Heck worst case scenario, we can't have another show and i get to keep all the pizza. I'm going to make sure the bands that are coming will get their share of the door (or the deals I work with them) even if it's coming out of my own pocket. Now its up to the fans to help me/us out.
What would it take to get people to come to this show? I have a killer line up, food, freebies.. maybe hot chicks.. want some O'Douls? heh
there is as nice shady bar across the street people can easily walk to, but I don't think you can get back in (esp if yer drunk).
[Aug 13,2007 9:43am - jrb2971 ""]
so we got pizza! and the line up is almost finalized! i'm giving out free cds also.

Should be a good time.

Nice, I live about 5 minutes from this place. Looks like it could be a great venue for metal, they just never really did anything good with this place before hand.

There is only one thing that is going to get people to go, Jeremy.
Promote. A Lot. Like way more than an RTTP thread.
[Sep 12,2007 5:08pm - dreadkill ""]
promote the fuck out of it. blue is right.
[Sep 14,2007 6:41pm - jere nli ""]
bump for revocation, psyched to play with those guys, their demo if fucking sick
[Sep 14,2007 6:46pm - blue ""]
i hope people come out to this. if this does well, this place will have a future for metal shows.
[Sep 14,2007 7:08pm - jrb2971 ""]
we might be starting earlier and adding another band .. due to the club's request.. anyhow, the more the merrier!
[Sep 14,2007 7:11pm - sinistas ""]
we'd be interested if you do, Jeremy.
[Sep 20,2007 7:34am - theaccursedvokillist ""]
this is going to be a cool show
[Sep 20,2007 8:32am - the_reverend ""]
I hope the club isn't requesting a rap-core band.
[Sep 20,2007 9:00am - jrb2971 ""]
sorry, false alarm - 5 bands still but that's still a good amount. free pizza, tshirt and cd giveaways, i have some SOMBRE zines to hand out.. i'm asking bands to bring demo cds to hand out (not just the band playing but anyone that wants to promote metal). everything is on course..
you sure you don't want a rap-core band added? heh!
flyers are up on my site www.metalshowcase.us

[Sep 20,2007 3:19pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""]

[Sep 21,2007 1:45pm - jrb2971 ""]
someone said the bar across the street is pretty scary. although i hear the ladies there are super easy! maybe missing a tooth or two but.. that's what happens when they double as bottle openers.
[Sep 21,2007 3:19pm - kdl ""]
I need bands for 0ct 26th with harl's war. ex cromags.
[Sep 21,2007 3:19pm - kdl ""]

[Sep 21,2007 3:39pm - dreadkill ""]
you might want to start a separate thread for that
[Sep 25,2007 1:16pm - JDDomination ""]
we'll be there with some cds and shit
[Sep 25,2007 1:20pm - jrb2971 ""]
nice, I should have plenty of tables and space for people to hand out , sell stuff. the more the merrier!
I just went to put some flyers at "hot topic" in taunton and they were all boarded up. Can't say I'm not trying to promote this baby!
[Sep 25,2007 1:23pm - sinistas ""]
Word, can't wait for this.

[Sep 27,2007 10:13am - mcmahon nli ""]

[Sep 27,2007 2:14pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""]
My car is getting fixed tomorrow, so I'll be driving my mom's convertible to this, with 4 other people...and all of us are pretty "sizable" dudes I guess you could say. It's going to look like a goddamn clown car.
