SoundGarden is in the process of sorting out some minor details for the launch of our 'Battle Of The Bands' 2003 staring in February (applications TBA this evening) - BUT HELP! - we need a name for this competition!

Email your ideas to [email protected] and the winner will receive a $50. Bar Tab at SoundGarden Nightclub, 1630 Store Street (or if you're underage and/or don't drink alcohol - an equivalent prize will be awarded in place of the bar tab).

Serious entries only thank you ; ) It is important to provide a real name and contact number as well or entries will be deleted.

Applications for this event will be available ONLINE by this evening........... and, at SoundGarden within the next 2 days. - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 10:50am

Negativity Sucks Typically expected from the uninformed.

NOTE: This band'fest' is not produced by Whitney-John Stuart.

If you choose to hold a negative attitude about this event go for it but you're not helping to create an opportunity for up-and-coming bands to get some exposure and play in a great venue like Soundgarden and gain some experience/learn something. It's not about the prizes or who 'wins' it's about the opportunity to play and I think you are one of the few people out there that feel the need to hold a negative attitude. I'm sure the club is open to suggestions so why don't you make some instead of spending your time as you are. You're only going to be drowned out by the bands that want to play and contribute.

Why the sour taste in your mouth? You don't even know the particulars nor the format! That would make your 'message' unfounded/unsupported. You're going on another event that took place last year and was different, produced by someone else. - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 1:42pm

Band comps arent for everyone but they can be good for a band starting out. Meatlocker Seven got thier start in a Battle of the Bands. So if you dont like contests then dont go. but there will be lots of poeple that will go, get drunk, fall down, cheer for their favourite band and have a good time. - Thu, 23 Jan 2003 12:47am

Hello again........

Registration forms/instructions and some further info on this event will be posted on SoundGarden's new website (debuting tomorrow night!)

There will be approximately $10,000 worth of prizes (and in case you're wondering, prizes will NOT be focused on recording time. In addition, there will be something for EVERY band who participates!).

I think it is important to mention that this event is NOT associated with bandFEST. SoundGarden management and staff are planning and organizing this event independently. - Thu, 23 Jan 2003 2:42am

Whats with all the crappy attitiudes all the time? The bar and associates are trying to do something cool for local talent here. Personally I dont think I'll be playing at it, but my bands already have our feet in the door so to speak, and this is more for people who havent had a break yet. For new acts this kind of thing is pretty neat. It'll give some new faces a chance to be heard, and how on earth could that be a bad thing? How can you be hacking it already? Why not give it a shot and if it doesnt work out then you can rip it apart. Personally I like any idea that helps out local artists. - Thu, 23 Jan 2003 10:01pm

Everyone's favorite boardee, Jay has made an excellent point. These "competitions" are and should be vehicles for newer bands to get out playing in front of a larger crowd than they would draw otherwise. A bunch of established bands doing a Battle Of The Bands type thing wouldn't make sense unless it was more of a for fun/charity type thing.
For a new band, some gear prizes or studio time or anything, plus exposure is not a bad thing.
And people entering these contests should realize that things aren't always 100% fair or as fair as you want to perceive them to be. That is a child's way of seeing things. This is real adult life.
Gallows End should be disqualified from entry because Aaron is a relic in Victoria and they will automatically win due to his pull in the "alternative" community.

Curious George Ok here's my piece on it. While I think it's cool that The Soundgarden is putting this on, I don't understand why it needs to be a "competition". New Music West has thrived for years as a "music showcase". Monica, if every band is getting something, why not just have a showcase at Soundgarden, where everyone gets to play and have fun. Why does everyone feel the need to grade each other's playing? It doesn't make sense. You simply cannot put (for example) Gallow's End, King Bong, and Armchair Cynics up on stage and judge who is "better" out of the three! Plus, one of the worst things about BandFEST was that the bands showed up on their night to play in competition mode, and there was a really lame vibe, where certain bands thought they were better than others. (Obviously, not all bands did this, but there were more than a few.) So, in summation, Tamara, Monica, Jay Brown and the rest at Soundgarden, fuck the competition, and hold a showcase for bands to get up there and do their thing, and then send them all home with shit. Have a draw for the prizes, or something like that. Anyways, that's just my two cents. Hope that wasn't too negative or critical. - Fri, 24 Jan 2003 2:31pm

I agree with this too. Being in shitty punker bands forever myself, I've no chance of ever winning anything anyway "competing" against bands that actually try to write songs and get noticed as opposed to us, who only drink and pound blow up our noses, using a "band" as a lame excuse to feel cool doing this. Competitions are for winning huge amounts of dough, or getting free studio time, or airplay, etc... and all I wanna do is just play shows with all my friends' bands and have a good time. I'm sure that's what this'll turn into anyway, as long as we all get that straight from the start. I've been blown off the stage enough to realize that there's no such thing as "better" than someone else, but it's a straight fact that some bands are waaaaay more serious that others (mine), it just goes to show that dudes and chicks who want to get somewhere doing this can still play shows with bands who rreally don't care or don't have the talent or patience (me). But if there's money up for grabs, yer all going down. That goes without saying. Bitches..... - Fri, 24 Jan 2003 2:54pm

A little friendly competition never killed anybody. If someone's true colors (envy, jealousy) come out in this kind of event then they are rightfully ostricized as there is no room for that childish behavior in our growing music community.
If a band is taking a "Battle" like this that seriously, they probably should pack it in and call it a day. This is Victoria and an event like that, while fun and a challenge, has no bearing on whether your band is good or not. It's about who is most on the ball and gets crowd reaction that night.

I don't get it. Battle of the bands has always been something that was fun. I have been to quite a few "battles" where it was quite obvious that the band won cause they were friends with the judges and not because they had any real talent. ( Gallow's End is excluded from this, they fucking rocked the brentwood show and deserved alot more than $150 ) But this is half the fun. No one is playing for $50,000 here, the bands that don't get first aern't getting shafted out of their pay-cheques, just a little prize that they didn't have in the first place. I would rather go watch 3 or more bands in a battle than just a show. Everyone who watches knows who the real winners are, booing at the judges is almost as much fun as cheering in a drunken stuper. Well anyways, Battles of the bands rule, c'mon who wouldn't love to see ML7 vs. Cryptopsy in a BOTB ? I'd buy an overpriced ticket. - Fri, 24 Jan 2003 10:08pm
Curious George "Fuckin' hippies"? Mr. Hell... what the hell are you talking about? The point I was trying to make is that you don't need competition to make a good show. It's pointless, and I think way more people would walk away happy and satisfied if it was a more cooperative event. I think if you took a pole, you'd discover that more people agree with me on this than you think. If Soundgarden really cares about what the public thinks, and not just a few select bands/people, they'll at the very least consider my post. - Fri, 24 Jan 2003 10:21pm

Leave the competition and bad blodd to the turntable clowns. If there is one thing in my 20 years in playing music I have learned it's that MUSIC IS NOT ABOUT COMPETITION. The age old battle of the band concept has always been about "winner" take all and the losers get the shaft. As a rule the "prizes" cost the bar nothing and the bands that compete are encouraged to bring all their friends so that the bar can do good biz. Ofter a decible meter is used to gauge "audience reaction" so whoever brought the most pals often wins. I have never ever heard of a battle of the bands where everybody got paid something; in fact I've never heard of one where the bands even got beer, nor have I ever heard of one where the prizes actually cost the bar actual money. In cases where the winners get money it's usually a lot less than if you simply paid everybody a fair cut. Remember all you musicians out there; the nightclub can only exist if you exist, not the other way around. - Fri, 24 Jan 2003 11:27pm
BandWagon < sarcasn > So then what you're saying ZippGunn is that us bands should start having attitude with clubs, and we should all have our guard up, and that we should basically tell these fucking clubs to fuck off because they're just stealing from us and hurting us and opressing us?

To have the final say, I will say this.
Battle Of The Bands contests will not go away. You can hack them and hate them all you like. Maybe they aren't always the best thing for a music scene. A few rotten apples always spoil the fun for everyone else. It's disappointing that the bands in this town can't all be amicable and get along to some degree. Maybe they can? I would like to think so. Everyone has their opinion. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong.
Don't support something? Then don't support it.
And I think competition pushes people to be better at what they do. It is not a bad thing when done maturely. Competition doesn't always have to be about bad blood.

MWPR This is just a response to Bandwagon, nothing to do with SG's comp (which I have to say has alot more promise than other similar events) anyway... buddy, if you're in a band you spend an insane amount of time rehearsing, doing promo, recording (drinking) and all sorts of things that cost alot of money and take up a huge amount of time. Yeah its fun and that's really why we do it, but when you are in a bar you are working for them. Simple as that. The show wouldn't happen if not for you (and the people you draw and the money they spend). Other bar staff don't work for free and neither should you! Pretty well all of the bars I've played at in this city are pretty damn good at giving the bands what they deserve (most nights!) but the fact remains that for all the time and effort and money you spend you should get some recompence. It's not an us vs them thing at all, in fact it's simply share the wealth and give the bands what they deserve. Having said that, a battle thing is a good opportunity for unknown/new type bands to get seen and have a chance to play. Of course you could always just get in touch with the bars and more experinced bands and ask to open and get the same result... and some coin too. - Sat, 25 Jan 2003 12:42pm

Hippie For one , Mr Hell are you on happy pills, i thought you were some evil dude from this big scary metal band, you sound like a chick!

As for these competitions, after being involved in bandfest, it has left a bad taste in my mouth. some bands had guest lists, most were not allowed. the bars had huge crowds at most of the shows 100-200 people. you cheap promoter bastards can't even flip the band fifty bucks or free picher for christ sakes.. a free fuckin pitcher of beer! it cost us thousands to get there, we spent money on rental gear for the show, we brought in all our friends and many others cause after all it was bandfest.
and you can even give a thristy band that entertained you a fuckin'beer, we felt used.
i like the idea of a showcase.or an audiance voting system, not whitney gay stuart and his crew doing the judging, like we had in bandfest.on one of the nights we had the most people in the audiance, they loved our songs and had the crowd groovin', yet we get punted by some band that cleared the room.


one thing that makes me ponder is, you can't get a gig with most of these bars in town cause you don't have a name for your self and a big enough draw for them. yet you give them twenty dollars and a bio package and they set up a compitition for you, promote it. pack the bar full of people every show. people who have never heard of these bands, since its an 'advertised' event it gets the media involve and each band receives more exsposure than on a regular basis.
My qusetion is why can't the bars promote the local music more often and give unheard bands a chance to play in this town.
nothing agaisnt soundgarden, they're the only ones in town giving bands a real chance to be heard. although they are still cheap bastards. - Sat, 25 Jan 2003 2:06pm

Bandwagon, you don't realize it, but your "sarcastic" response is so right on. Yes, you must have your guard up, always with clubs. 90% are just excuses for assholes to sell coke to hookers, or booze to already drunken louts. I play lots of shows for free, but only because I know that the show made no dough and the club owners treat me with a modicum of respect. The "you're lucky we let you play here" attitute just doesn't wash with this cowboy; if you can find it in your budget to pay your mouth breathing bouncers $100 or so each a night then you can scarf up the door money to pay the band, which, after all, is why the bouncers are needed in the first place. A nightclub in Victoria, properly run, is a licence to print money. I won't play in most of the clubs in town because I know they skim the door and treat the bands like lepers. This is wrong. If Soundgarden is so concerned about introducing up & coming local bands, why don't they have new band showcases with cheap covers on slow nights. Making a new band enter a "contest" just for the chance to play through a good PA is cruel. As for the recording angle, why do you think I built my studio in the first place? I got tired of paying $65/hr (in 1976 dollars, don't forget) to have some coked out cunt tell me my music was "weird" and then do his best to sabotage my work. 2 decades and about $100,000 later I charge less than a quarter of what a plumber with $100 worth of tools charges. This is all about RESPECT. Another thread on this website talks about hotshot producers being abusive and in your face about bands inadequacies as if this abhorrent behavior is justified. I'll tell you one thing, I don't care if it's George Martin, if he punches me or (God help him) spits in my face to prove a point he'll wake up with no teeth in his head!!Nightclubs exist because of musicians, period. It's amazing how many nightclubs forget that. Years ago when I was in the Vinaigrettes we used to pack Harpo's every time we played, even if it was on a Monday or Tuesday. When Harpo's changed hands we went, cap in hand , to see if we could play there, but were told that we were too "noisy" and that they were trying to get a "higher class" clientel, but we might be allowed provided we understood that there would be no money for us. Not surprisingly, Harpo's almost immediately went broke, turned into about 5 other clubs, all DJ oriented, all of which went broke and now Harpo's is trying to rise from the dead yet again. Meanwhile, Carolyn is touring everywhere all the time to great acclaim, and I have had tours all through Europe and Canada, also to great acclaim (not to mention money!). These nitwits never learn. Thursday's is the one club I know in town that treats the bands with respect, pays them fairly without skimming the door for "expenses", feeds them and makes them feel like they're wanted. They also seem to be the club in town with the least amout of frills; no bouncers,fancy bar backdrops (really Soundgarden how much did that horrible unused back bar thing cost?) and, alas, not the best PA in town (but at least sympathetically run). Needless to say I make about 4 times as much there as anywhere else in town. - Sat, 25 Jan 2003 2:15pm
Anonymous Personally my bet is that SG's owners are not rolling in the dough. Ive seen that place as empty as Ive seen it full.. Some nights the door must barely cover the price of the soundguy, not to mention the 3 or 4 staff members.

The way I see it if a bar wants to make money while giving new bands a chance to expose themselves (heheh) then all the power to them. Although it is bad that Bars make a killing off of these events at the expense of bands, I dont exactly see alot of support from "bigger bands" in this city trying to help out new bands. In Gallows End's short existence the only help show-wise from Victoria's heavywieght bands that we got was from Jay Brown and his bands. He saw a 'nobody' band and used their names to help us out. THAT fuckin rips! Sad that it doesnt happen more in this town. Its a fuckin competition for most whether its called one or not. It is a city of plenty when it comes to music fans and bands should be working together rather than against one another. Until then BOTBs will thrive as a way for new bands to get out! - Sat, 25 Jan 2003 3:23pm

Battle of the Bands are very profitable for bars. If they werent they wouldnt have them. If a bar can turn even a small profit putting on shows while paying the bands then they sure as hell will make a profit with a BOTB! Most of the prizes are donated, bands dont get paid, bands do most of the promotion, more people show up to support the bands at these events then regular shows, cover charge goes to the bar as does liquor sales. How would this NOT be profitable. I am not cutting down Soundgarden. Our first show there was a great experience. The Hoosegow and Gallows End brought in a great Wednesday night crowd and we were in turn treated very well by Soundgarden staff and management. - Sat, 25 Jan 2003 4:01pm

It got us our start with some big crowds and the prizes were shit anyway. Yeah they made alot of money off us, but I don't see them around today. Crack is an expensive habit!
Shittty thing is, Victoria, like every other city, has a stupid system for bands where you have to "pay your dues". That means you get the shaft for a while until you have the pull to make it clear in no uncertain terms that you are calling the shots or the bar down the road is getting your show. We got the shaft for years. Hey, sometimes we still do. That's the nature of music business. Sad but trooooo.

Curious George And, to add my two cents into this new conversation that's started up, I personally don't think Thursday's is the BEST place for showing respect to musicians. I have played at every major venue in Victoria except Thursdays, which I can't get a show at to save my life. That leads me to believe that Chris Logan isn't in it to support up-and-coming acts, rather, he's in to supporting established acts. Every time I check out what's going on at Thursdays, it's either an out-of-town act, an established punk/metal band, some Johnny Cash tribute night, or Leeroy Stagger. I'm sure all those bands are being treated very well, but it doesn't mean Thursday's is doing shit for helping new acts out. - Sat, 25 Jan 2003 7:41pm

Yes, back, bottom part of the "computer". Computer being three feet in front of me at any given time and location.
It's there, I swear!
You don't need to explain your sarcasm, george. I ooze as much as anyone else on here. I understand the nature of BB's. Been on them since you were in diapers. - Sat, 25 Jan 2003 7:44pm

It will catch all that rogue piss and shit that uncontrollably falls from your nether region.
It's not a fetish, just a precautionary measure. - Sat, 25 Jan 2003 7:58pm

I didn't read this thread, it looked pretty involved. But, Monica, if you do read this, can I be a judge? - Sat, 25 Jan 2003 11:26pm
