| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | It does suck that a lot of venues don't allow kids underage, it especially bothers me when your band is playing that venue but you can't stay to even check out the other bands. A lot of places do it because they make a lot of money selling alcohol, which they usually can't do at all age venues. Some places have worked around it making people provide ID at the bar which I think isn't a bad idea, I just more places would follow that example. - Mon, 28 Aug 2006 10:15pm | ||
| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | I just wish more places would follow that example.* that makes more sense - Mon, 28 Aug 2006 10:19pm | ||
| Peter Gardner User Info... | laws have changed now, and most places don't have the licenses to allow that - Mon, 28 Aug 2006 10:21pm | ||
| DTjackson User Info... | We did a gig at Logan's with The Perfect Trend and only the singer was of age. They had the other two sit at a table on stage the whole time. Surely there must be some way to monitor the band members instead of keeping them in the corner for, like, an hour. I just feel sorry for them they can't even get in front of the stage. - Mon, 28 Aug 2006 10:29pm | ||
| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | this is a big part of why I started putting on shows in the first place... One day if we work hard all vic shows will be all ages (at leats punk and metal) and we will have 2 good shows a week... thats the goal. One day I plan to open an anarchist center and info shop/drop inn, and it will have space for bands to play free, and for bands to practice, and 100% all ages. Just have a long ways to go first. - Tue, 29 Aug 2006 1:07am | ||

| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | I been planning to do a NNB fundraiser fer a while now too, but I been donating the money made off my shows to FNB, or not been making money and giving any money straight to the bands. I was thinking if I could get the money I would like to buy 4 mics and stands, a PA system, and create a $1000 float for renting venues and band garantees so I could bring more out of town bands more often. I just got me a shit job at subway for the next month, or maybe two... the money I earn will largly be gouing into NNB, at least most of it. - Tue, 29 Aug 2006 7:09pm | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | This also pisses me off as well. Like I get fucking mad when I read something and say "oh hey so-and-so's playing! I'm definitely going." and then I read "NO MINORS". It's like your heart leaps up then falls of a cliff and splatters everywhere. Also, it's much worse the night that band's playing. You know, just thinking that if only you were a year older you could go.... sucks!! I'm starting a countdown.... 372 days until I'm not a minor... Man that seems like an eternity but I know it's much worse for those who are about 14 and stuff.... anyways now I'm mad... - Tue, 29 Aug 2006 7:27pm | ||
| Livevic Scott User Info... | As someone pointed out its not the clubs making the decision, BC liquor laws don't allow clubs to have an AA/Bar with ID setup. The only time that can happen is when a non profit organization (such as The Ska Society who do Skafest, Jazz Society who do JazzFest, ICA doing FolkFest). Many other states/proviences in North America can do this with wristbands etc but our provincial government hasn't addressed this issue yet. If I could, I would make all shows AA/19+, but until some of the laws are amended its really not possible, plus we just don't have a proper space to do this in the city. The existing venues for AA are fine for what they're doing but anytime you have a tour that requires any sort of production values its completely impossible. a 500 capacity venue w/ option of 200-300 capacity balcony would be ideal for the city. Bar up top, you could keep the balcony as a bar for smaller shows, maybe an indoor skate park below, run smaller bar shows during the week and when larger acts come though open up the floor and make it AA ... something like that would allow the building to keep profitable while allowing for some of these larger tours to be put forth to all ages. - Wed, 30 Aug 2006 10:39am | ||
| tyler of wp User Info... | i just think it makes sense to have all ages show..with a bar with id...like ska/when bad relgion came/noise not bombs shows..it juse seems like the most logical idea but i do understand that venues such as sugar,lucky,legends have to obey the bc liquor laws..we shoudl just do as d.c did..put FAT x's on our hands to show the bartender not to serve us alchol..but ona seriouls note..being 16 has just been shit ive hgad to miss,the misfits!,d.o.a,against me!,snfu,the hoseeogw,CELTIC FROST/1349,new pornographers...we just need a venue like the croation cultural center in van..the venue is suberb..its medium to large size...ALL AGES..nice area and tons of bans play there(alexisonfire,messugah,etc..) but that may take...a long time...and alot of money for that to happen, but think for the long road....soo many friking good shows...whatever..thats just a dream..rock on..we shall keep striving(spelling?) to keep our local all ages scene strong! ...september 18th victoria events center all ages the hoosegow,wayne powerman,mind between the lines,bitchfork,suspended animation..10 bucks rock on ..setpemebr 23rd wayne powerman,diy,rotten fiends,delinquant solution..and...THE DAYGLOW ABORTIONS!!!!!!ALLAGES!!!!!sunset room - Wed, 30 Aug 2006 11:38am | ||
| jeff User Info... | by the way that daglows show probably isnt happening, ive talked to jesus bonehead and he knows nothing about it... - Wed, 30 Aug 2006 12:50pm | ||
| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | Personally if I could do it I would make all shows all ages no booze. When I was growing up no one drank at all agers, and they shows had no problems... But it is hartd to pay the bands, and keep ticket prices down, when you dish out $200 for the venue, $150 for each out of town bands, plus mics, and a pa rental... Many touring bands could play a bar and an all ager in the same night or over 2 days, but most don't even try. In defense of smaller bands though, many can not even get one show in a town in Canada, and thus take what they can get, but for bigger acts there is no excuse. I say we just say fuck it to those bands all togeather. ps. dayglo are all sexist, often saying they refuse to do an encore untill they see tits, and often cause huge problems at shows, and give beer to underage girls for showing their tits, I know cause I have seen them, and leper even wrote a song about this on their new album "embarrassed to be human" the song is called "I'm a stupid fucking moron" and was written after TBA (with members of leper) played a show with Dayglo. Many dayglo lyrics are verry degrading some even verge on racist, or homophobic, well the rest are just sexist. "We need some women up here, so we can spray you all down with beer... ...We don't do this for the money honey we do it for the titties and a little bit of cunny." --Dayglo Abortions-- -Release the Hostiges- "suck and fuck and fuck and suck and sit on my face" -Dream Date Of the 90s- - Wed, 30 Aug 2006 2:36pm | ||
| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | ps. if you have got dayglo I will have nothing more to do with this show, and I can pretty much garantee wolf will refuse to help too... - Wed, 30 Aug 2006 2:37pm | ||
| jeff User Info... | dude, a lot of the dayglo lyrics are jokes man, just like MOD/SOD I listen to music because i like it, and if its something like the dayglos i take it as a joke and nothing more. - Wed, 30 Aug 2006 2:48pm | ||
| Livevic Scott User Info... | Hey NNB, first off most bands want AA shows when they come here, they just don't lower their guarentee's to play a show that costs more to put on, thats why most bands play bars. And you can't REALLY blame them for it, I mean they gotta eat too, you can't play for $150 bux a night forever. ... where do you do your AA/licenced shows?? - Wed, 30 Aug 2006 10:54pm | ||
| ScumFuckBondage User Info... | due who cares the dayglos rule. they're funny and kick ass and great guys. - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 12:27am | ||
| ScumFuckBondage User Info... | dayglos show is going down, i've tlaked to jesus and cretien about it. - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 12:33am | ||
| Clinttoresrex User Info... | Stiltskins would like to play on the 23. Is ther any room left? Sounds like a kickass show - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 12:09pm | ||
| jeff User Info... | MBL already asked. and there isnt room unless you pay $30... - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 12:16pm | ||
| Clinttoresrex User Info... | No room. well shit. Please keep us in mind next time. we are always looking for weekend shows in vic. All ages, old ages, or any ages. Thanks http://www.myspace.com/stiltskins66 - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 12:25pm | ||
| NOISE NOT BOMBS User Info... | your charging local bands to play? WTF? - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 5:44pm | ||
| jeff User Info... | no, what cordell said was, if we(MBL) wants to play that show we have to give him $30 to cover the cost of an other hour, and we arent playing the show, its kinda stupid paying to get your band on the bill - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 8:28pm | ||
| tyler User Info... | yeah dude fuck that wats the money form this show bing put to...like the on e the 18th is it so we can pout more shows on? - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 11:34pm Edited: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 11:34pm | ||
| ScumFuckBondage User Info... | yo dude its not that we charge ANYONE to play shows, its just we have NO MONEY AT ALL, and we are in debt by puting this on, and if we were to add another band we'd need more money for time. just had to clear that up. - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 11:41pm | ||
| ScumFuckBondage User Info... | If anything we'd give the bands money. ps: if we get profit from the da show then we'll hand some over to you jeff, cause i know how much event centre costs. - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 11:42pm | ||
| jeff User Info... | THE DAYGLOS ARENT PLAYING THAT SHOW, I TALKED TO JESUS BONEHEAD AND HE ISNT PLAYING ANY SHOWS ANYTIME SOON - Fri, 1 Sep 2006 7:04pm | ||
| Anonymous User Info... | happens in every city! its just the way things go. most of the time drinks pay for the show. if there was more kids going out to show then maybe thered be more shows.. its all supply and demand haha. - Fri, 1 Sep 2006 8:35pm | ||
| tyler User Info... | well anonymous SHOW YOUR FACE the reason there arent tons of kids at every show is becuase there afriad to go to shows.,well at leats thats my theory everyone is so concerned with what scene there in they cant enjoy other types of music that victoria has to offer who wants to help me sneak into sugar so i can see celtic frost and 1349/how hard is it to get in their? - Mon, 4 Sep 2006 10:12am | ||
| darcy User Info... | My theory is that we only have a bunch of shitty bands...and we live on an island...and we suck..mostly..yeah Oh, and I am thinking that making a post on a public forum (with a picture in your profile) isn't the first great step towards sneaking into anything. Cheers. - Mon, 4 Sep 2006 10:38am | ||
| ScumFuckBondage User Info... | Hey tyler i snuck into sugar for the misfits, I can try and help you its kinda tough. You gotta go through the top bakc door if your gonna get in. - Mon, 4 Sep 2006 11:01am | ||
| Andrew User Info... | well anonymous SHOW YOUR FACE the reason there arent tons of kids at every show is becuase there afriad to go to shows.,well at leats thats my theory everyone is so concerned with what scene there in they cant enjoy other types of music that victoria has to offer ------- well if you dont look like you fit into said scene, people judge u. i guess it is natural, but kinda fucked up. Especialy when a lot of the local bands are all about peace. - Wed, 13 Sep 2006 4:43pm | ||
| Andrew User Info... | and cordell, why dont you just do it like this if a band wants to play...they lend you 30 until the first three or four people come through the door, and then you pay them back. Simple. - Wed, 13 Sep 2006 4:44pm | ||
| ScumFuckBondage User Info... | That was the plan! - Sat, 16 Sep 2006 12:51am | ||
| Andrew User Info... | oh well i guess it was all too good to be true with the dayglos. I never would have thought this would happen. :) - Sun, 17 Sep 2006 10:35am | ||
| harry/catasrophica User Info... | Kill the white man. - Mon, 18 Sep 2006 10:34am Edited: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 10:34am | ||
