Suggestions for Improvements to Next Club Oasis Extravaganza[views:35214][posts:288]___________________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 12:47pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Since the last show went over so well I'm gonna try to book another for March/April. Any ideas for improvement would be great. Keep in mind the more realistic the suggestion the better. 3 2 1 ...GO! |

| ______________________________ [Feb 2,2009 12:49pm - BSV ""] 4 bands MAX |
| ______________________________ [Feb 2,2009 12:51pm - BSV ""] what's the contact for the club? i'm going to book something. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 12:53pm - boblovesmusic ""] oh also, not on the same night as twenty other shows! |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:06pm - sacreligion ""] in all seriousness though, you should convince that fucker to sell canned pbr at a reasonable price. he could've sold em for a buck each and made a profit. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:08pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] ya it was like pulling teeth just to get him to get that set up in the first place. dude is beyond stupid. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:10pm - ouchdrummer ""] BSV said:4 bands MAX Actually i thought that the lineup worked great. People shared gear, people got on and off quick, and i don't think the turnout would've been as good with all the bands. It seemed to me that every band that played had people come just to see them, and most of them stuck around for the rest. So while i usually agree that 8 is too many, in this situation it worked well. Especially with all the room that the bands had for their equipment, without that space it would've been much harder. As far as improvements, i don't have anything realistic to offer. I thought the night went over really well, and while there is always room for improvement, there was nothing that jumped out at me as needing to change. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:11pm - ouchdrummer ""] yeah, the whole 3bucks a can for PBR was nuts. Maybe offer to pick up 10 cases of PBR/Naraggansett for him, and see if he'll sell em for 2. |

| _____________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:14pm - BSV ""] fuck that. that's a waste to do fucking 8 band shows there and only have 1 person book the joint. spread the love kid. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:14pm - sacreligion ""] a smaller touring band would be good for the next show. i don't know who you should get or even who's coming around in that time frame. maybe you could snag one of the better nemhf bands depending on when you book it. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:15pm - ouchdrummer ""] wait, but i thought you didn't want more than 4 bands? Or are you saying that you would be cool with 8, as long as you could book it? |

I was under the impression you were just to worn out to come? Or was it that you were cheating with some different band?? I was worn out from a 10 hour work day (which in retrospect I should've asked for off) and I had to be at a family party thing (which was lame) and there was another thing I had to be at (which I skipped). By the time I was done with the family party thing I was just tired enough that driving there and back would've been a bad move (I have a tendency to fall asleep at the wheel). I almost cheated on you with Revocation, but parking around there was impossible. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:21pm - BSV ""] no I would NEVER book 8 bands, at a venue like that. I'm never cool with 8 bands, it think it's hack and gives half assed bands an excuse to whore themselves out while not worrying about doing any promotion. that sucks the big cheese there won't let anyone else book the club. fuck that place, sucks cause it coulda been cool. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:21pm - blue ""] 1 MICROPHONES.....good god i cant stress this enough 2 Max 6 bands per show 3 Lights for the merch tables...i know we were trying to solve that all night long |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:22pm - sacreligion ""] you don't know he won't let anyone else book it, i'm just saying the guy's a tool and doesn't know what he's doing. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:23pm - BSV ""] why you guys getting all hard and not giving contact info? |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:28pm - ouchdrummer ""] blue said: 2 Max 6 bands per show Not that I'm disagreeing, but it just seemed to me like everything went great with 8 bands. I know that the headlining bands usaully don't like that many because people will get sick of the show and leave before them, but It seemed like there were just as many people for DYSENTERY as there was for anyone else. So why no more than 6? Like i said, not disagreeing, i just wanna know where your coming from. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:28pm - sacreligion ""] the sole reason i have interest in this place is because of its location. god damn i miss the e bar too. |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:30pm - sacreligion ""] if anything i'd say the attendance increased throughout the night. incorporate moar karaoke, btw. i missed dave's version of dio but my buddy chris and i did like the best versions of the righteous bros. and dr. dre and snoop dogg. word. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:32pm - reimroc ""] 1.) 6-8 Bands. Seemed to work well this round. Try to book the same or most of the same ones. Maybe add a couple more to draw in more people. 2.) Try your best to chose a day that wont conflict with any other big shows going on. 3.) Announce early and often to build the suspense. have fun rawk hard |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:33pm - ouchdrummer ""] the only real downside i could see from so many bands was that the money got split a lot of ways... but if you had this many again you could always do the "Who are you here to see" thing. And if bands don't bring people: 1.they get paid less 2.they won't get to play again that way "half-ass" bands can't "whore" themselves out and nor promote. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:33pm - BSV ""] i dunno, if this venue was serious about making shit happen they'd take the time to talk. clear sign that he is unmotivated to do things right and that booking there is probably way to much work than what it's worth. there really shouldn't be more than 2 shows a year there. it's basically a vfw with expensive beer and a big stage. i doubt i'll go there if there is more than 6 bands playing. they charging you for the room too? |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:37pm - ouchdrummer ""] wow, i was just saying that was the only downside i saw, i could give a fuckless about money. Your the one saying that bands could "whore themselves" and not promote. Just trying to give a suggestion to avoid that. Your whinney. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:38pm - sacreligion ""] that's why the door guy does it. check marks are literally the most fair way to determine draw and pay, if you want to do it that way. if a band from out of town brings 25 people and a worcester band brought like 5, why should they get paid the same for working harder? |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:39pm - ouchdrummer ""] well, you just ask when they pay and make a checkmark next to a bands name on a sheet. Real easy. But like i said, i don't care about the money, just trying to suggest a solution to BSV's stated issue. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:39pm - sacreligion ""] the next show needs moar slam |

And if bands don't bring people: 1.they get paid less 2.they won't get to play again that way "half-ass" bands can't "whore" themselves out and nor promote. I've heard people try this in Albany, it usually ends up with the promoter back pedaling so that any bands will do shows with him again, truth is almost no one (at least here) will go to a show without there being at least 2 or 3 bands they want to see, like me for instance, as far as I'm concerned there wasn't a band that played that I didn't want to see, and I'm sure that many other people there were in the same boat but as has already been said, money shouldn't be an issue, I think the major argument is length of the show and people getting bored, but with all of the ludicrousness of the last one I don't think that was an issue to most people, but I could definitely see where at certain shows it could be I think the show was awesome, I think the venue was awesome (how many venues would put up with the utter decimation of computer accessories?), more shows should happen there, as many bands as are necessary should play, more shenanigans are always appreciated I say naked pudding wrestling and an eazy cheeze eat off, DO IT YOU WONT |

| _________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 2:44pm - Dankill ""] I'd say 4-5 band max. I know some people wanna do the whole idea of getting your bang for your buck, but seriously, too many shows with too many bands can be a drag. If you line up a solid show from the opener to the closer with 4-5 bands, it rules. People don't have to pick and choose so much of what bands to watcvh and not watch, it leaves less chance of some bands that aren't that good filling up space, and by the end of the show half the crowd isn't totally dragging ass and tired by the time the headliner hits the stage. Every show doesn't need to be a minifest. Otherwise, I'd have to go with Blue. Lights for the merch tables would have been nice and you can never have too many mics. The beer prices were def high, but what can you do? $3 for a PBR can? I paid the extra dollar for better beer. |

Unless it's a 'festival' which are starting to get old....4 bands MAX. 30 mins or less from each band otherwise people start leaving and no one wants to headline to an empty room. Multiple mics are key. Most bands have at least one other guy doing some backup vocals yet most shows at smaller 'venues' have one mic and one mic stand. and PBR tall boys for $2 are key ...otherwise...BOYCOT. |

| ______________________________ [Feb 3,2009 12:47am - blue ""] alright alright. 1.) bring enough microphones. i have no clue if you had prior knowledge about what was available for the show mic-wise, but make sure next time you have at least 2 vocal mics with stands, and a kick mic wouldn't hurt. if you want i can bring my mics (guitar/vocal/drum) for the next next show and do the sound (for some reason everyone thinks eliot did the sound). take in mind the PA there is super underpowered so i don't even think it'd be able to do much more than vocals, guitar and kick. 2.) maximum 6 bands per show. why do i say this you ask? because of a few reasons. no one wants to get to a show before 8 o clock. why have bands play that early? its downright mean and hurts my feelings. the only reason this show ended in time is because composted had no setup time and their 'set' was 20 minutes. had they actually set up and played a full set, dysentery wouldnt have had time for a full set. this show ended 2 hours behind schedule according to the original plan. it'd be way easier to have 2 less bands, not shaft the openers with smaller crowds and not worry so much about going way behind schedule. 3.) backline equipment the right way. yes, bands did share cabs but this wasnt done efficiently at all. there was too much confusion getting stuff on and off the stage. first two/three bands should set up their guitar and bass cabs behind one another so that all that needs to be done is take cabs off and switch kits. and bands that are sharing entire set ups should play back to back (ie horrifying/boarcorpse shouldve played one after the other). this helps immensely. this is my two (possibly three) cents. |

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 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 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. |

| _______________________________________ [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 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. |
