Massachusetts venue needed for DEVOURMENT show on Saturday August 16th.

[Jun 17,2008 4:16pm - Jimmy Justice aka revenge ""]
Hey guys, Mike from Devourment asked me to book a MA date for them on Saturday August 16th. He has his heart set on playing IN Boston, however, I told him that getting a show in Boston, especially for metal is nearly impossible. Allston area would probably be closest....
However, after several attempts at trying to book this on my own and coming up empty handed, I need some help.
I don't want the venue to be in NH. Only MA...and as close to the Boston area as I can. I will accept the North Shore area, and lastly South shore area as a last resort.
Can any of you guys help me find a venue for this?
I have a few bands I plan on asking to play this show...so I'm pretty much all set with bands...just need help with the venue.
Again, your help and expertise is appreciated. Thanks.

do it where Defeated Sanity played. the sound was nice.

jimmy you are forgetting vital information.
THEY WANT AN ALL AGES VENUE. that is the crux of this whole thing...
and I was under the impression Josh (BSV) was booking this.

"Saturday "
"IN Boston"
"THEY WANT AN ALL AGES VENUE."
Good fucking luck. Even Allston, Cambridge, or Somerville (all practically Boston) would be ridiculously hard to do.
[Jun 17,2008 4:50pm - thegreatspaldino ""]
i mean... i want a Porsche GT3 with a blow job machine in my driveway... that isnt so much to ask for right? its probably more probable than getting an all ages venue in boston on saturday that will allow heavy music.
[Jun 17,2008 4:53pm - joeycobra ""]
Jim call me...maybe have a place right outside of Boston

brockton might have a few places. problem is, you might need to put boobie traps around the joint and have sentry guns because brockton is the land of crime nowadays.

dude, I used to work in Brockton. Our work truck got cut off and a bunch of black dudes came out of the car with baseball bats and chains because they thought we owed them dope money.

Yeah I don't know why they're being so particular; no matter where the show is, just as long as there's basic promotion, it will be fucking packed.

Allston is part of Boston. It's in Boston. You must all be from the suburbs or something because you have no idea what you're taking about.

If they had a brain the south shore would be their first choice, since that's where the majority of Devourment's MA fanbase lives.
[Jun 17,2008 6:53pm - Jimmy Revenge ""]
Great scotts is a no go...they were my first choice.
Anyone have a contact number for O'briens? 18+ is probably the best we can do if I don't book it at a VFW
[Jun 17,2008 6:53pm - archaeon ""]
O'briens is way to small for this show and 21+.
CLUB HELL FTW
[Jun 17,2008 6:54pm - corpus_colostomy ""]
O'b's just doesnt make sense. you cant fit 6 people and rich horror in there at the same time.

what are palladium prices upstairs (obv)....?
[Jun 17,2008 6:56pm - DomesticTerror ""]
yeah, club hell would be the best possible venue. it's a no brainer.
[Jun 17,2008 6:56pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""]
I'd say booking a hall is the best bet for this. It sucks paying to rent it, but look at this show...goddamn...you'd easily be able to at least break even after all is said and done.
[Jun 17,2008 6:57pm - fleshfries ""]
If you guys do find a venue, shoot for 18+ instead of 21+...I NEED to see Devourment.
[Jun 17,2008 6:57pm - Jimmy Revenge ""]
Mike specifically asked me not to book it in providence or else I would.
[Jun 17,2008 7:14pm - DomesticTerror ""]
that sucks. have you tried the middle east yet? is ralph's still around?
[Jun 17,2008 7:14pm - fishcakes ""]
I will ask the new wave in mass. but I don't think the 18+ will float.
[Jun 17,2008 7:21pm - archaeon ""]
I'm pretty sure devourment will sell out all the venue names being thrown out there. THINK OF ME, ALL AGES.
[Jun 17,2008 7:28pm - Pires ""]
why would you not want to play Providence? Club Hell will be great for this show. Tell them to stop being stupid, and pull up their panties and go to fucking RI. This show would be much better at Hell than half of the other venues being thrown around.
[Jun 17,2008 7:29pm - MetalThursday ""]
DomesticTerror said:that sucks. have you tried the middle east yet? is ralph's still around?
Ralph's is 21+
[Jun 17,2008 7:40pm - RichHorror ""]
Yeah, if you're gonna go for a club in Boston Middle East, Church and Great Scott are the only ones worth looking into. A hall would be best for this, though.
[Jun 17,2008 7:41pm - Jimmy Revenge ""]
I never would have guessed that the hardest part about booking a Devourment show in Mass would be finding the venue.
[Jun 17,2008 7:42pm - corpus_colostomy ""]
well considering the major stipulation its not: ALL AGES.
[Jun 17,2008 7:42pm - Jimmy Revenge ""]
I have the perfect VFW in mind for this...I'm calling them tomorrow morning. Lets keep our fingers crossed.
This show is happening regardless....even if I have to go to jail over it. It will happen.

The only thing we could offer them was a matinée show at club he'll. Mike said no. The only real option would be a hall, and since this is a week after NEDF and dysentery will be on tour, I will have nothing to throw into this.
Jimmy, if you do manage to take care of this, please consider dysentery & distorted impalement for this show. We are supposed to be making this show our Boston date for the tour.

I realize how big this show is to everyone, and I would like to help every band out and put them on the show, but we all know that can't happen.
I'm gonna try to keep this at 4 locals max with Malignancy and Devourment headlining.
Any more turns into a snore fest.
Sorry in advance to all the bands who won't be able to play!

I already tried all these venues weeks ago. I offered a Club Hell matinee (which is the only thing they can do) but they don't want it.
I mailed Jewski about a hall show but he never wrote back. Cambridge elks is pratically a matinee anyways.
I don't know what else to do. Wish Jewski would have at least hit me back.
[Jun 17,2008 9:47pm - RichHorror ""]
I wouldn't advise anyone to try for the Cambridge Elks. They got flaky.

I've been prepared to rent a hall outside of Boston but it appears they want nothing to do with that.

They're very cool about it, and it's not surrounded by alot (besides 2 T stops within walking distance and the Beachmont School), so you won't have to worry about noise complaints.

Talk to the bassist of Derek of Hivesmasher, see if he could do something at Fox Hall in Lowell. I mean, it would probably be a free show so you'd have to pay the guarantees out of pocket, but if they let it be a paid show then you'd be all set.

By the way, if they end up wanting to do something in NH let me know and I'll get it done asap. Ask them if they can get over it and try getting into NH. Guaranteed I can get something for them within two days.

It's important that Dysentery and Distorted Impalement end up on this, since they already cancelled a gig to be here for the date. Why Malignancy? They're playing here the week before. I was talking to Saprogenic-would be cool if at least a non-regional band that's never been here comes for a one off.

dude, you cant be telling me that my concern is not warranted?
i get messages from jewski saying he needs help AGAIN for this show, saying you basically dropped the show it cus you couldnt do the hall. i messaged you almost a week ago asking what was up, you dont get back to me at all. me and josh have been scrambling to find a new venue, and then you pop up all of a sudden saying you have it taken care of again. i dont know what is up and what is down.
jimmy you know i have no problem with you whatsoever, but were down til a month before we go on tour and we dont want gaps in it like this in the schedule. sincere apologies, but i legitimately got the distinct impression that you flaked. which i thought was really weird considering you are not the kind of person to do that.
should we bother getting the new venue squared away, or do you really have it taken care of?
