The whole show in total is six hours if you see all the bands playing plus we are selling these tickets in advance for ten dollars. It's not as unreasonable as you make it out to be. Price won't make a show better or worse really just as long as everyone has a good time.

EDIT: The bands on the poster are

5 Minute Wait
Killer For Sloot
Tawg
Batteryhead
Manifest Dynasty
Jadiam
and more bands to be announced

With a 45 minute set from The Lazy Susans at the end - Fri, 5 Jan 2007 3:13pm Edited: Fri, 5 Jan 2007 3:19pm

Batteryhead wasn't supposed to be on the poster. We won't be there. Our drummer quit a few days ago, so we won't be playing shows for a few weeks. I'm pretty sure we weren't gonna do it anyways though, there were some weird things on the contracts. Contracts freak me out, especially after that episode of Twilight Zone where that guy signs a contract and they cut out his toungue and put it in a jar and it just keeps growing and pulsating and giving birth to little baby tongues. We aren't worth the dollar anyways. - Fri, 5 Jan 2007 7:45pm Edited: Fri, 5 Jan 2007 7:46pm

yea that's true dude...it is just business but It would be easier to sell tickets to this show if it were cheaper... the organizors set the price pretty damn high if ya ask me... and it's not like we'll be seeing any of the money this show makes unless we sell a whole buttload of tickets... perhaps if there was some crazy popular headliner... I hadnt even heard of the Lazy susans before we got on board for this:P regardless, it'll be fun to see if some freakin awesome band springs up as a result of this show... especially if it's ours:P - Sat, 6 Jan 2007 12:40pm

the order and length of each band's set is determined by how many tix they sell:s the list is just to sum up who's playin. The organizors have basically made us the promotors and salesmen and performers all rolled into one, hurra! of course there's no money coming to anyone who can't sell 50 tix (as if)... I dont even like asking friends to pay a tenner for a show... let alone strangers... but whatever, I want at least some people to come:P

I just didn't like the contract thing because it said that if we played in this Battle of the Bands, we couldn't play any other battle of the bands style shows for three weeks before or after this one... And we're playing that one at Legends on the 28th.
btw... everyone come to Legends on the 28th!!! - Sun, 7 Jan 2007 1:57pm

I probably would pay that much if all the bands were ones that I like. Heck, I've shelled out over 100bucks just for four bands, so I think it is more of a quality (taste) thing. Were these all punk, ska, prog, so on bands, I'd be there. - Mon, 8 Jan 2007 12:04am

Manifest man, it wasn't in the fine print. It was all like "yo, I'm right here" up in the foreground. I'm pretty sure the consequence is just like disqualification, which only sucks if you win. - Mon, 8 Jan 2007 9:54pm

Whoever sells the most tickets , aka -(makes them the most money), will probly win

. regardless of talent.

Thats how these things work, haha then you can have a fraction of the money back from the tickets in the way of a few hours of recording in some random studio. - Tue, 9 Jan 2007 5:51pm

"some random studio" is Turtle Studios in Whiterock. Which is actually a really nice studio. But only eight hours of recording, that doesn't cover any of the other costs (of which there are many- if you want the recording to sound good). - Wed, 10 Jan 2007 11:33am

A few things:

1) I can't believe that someone wouldn't read a contract before signing it. Wierd.

2) If you sell all your tickets you get to keep $100 from your sales. Not much but it's something.

3) If you play another battle of the bands you simply won't win. That said, the company that is hosting this show is based outta Toronto, I think. I can't see them checking up on shows in Vic. But you never know.

4) We've sold 50 tickets so far, so selling tickets can't be that hard. Just ask your friends. The average band has 4 members. That's 15 tickets each... I know I have 15 friends.

5) If you were smart, and you win, you'd put your drummer in the studio for the 8 hours and do the rest of your recording elswhere. The drums, I've found, get the rawest deal when it comes to low budget recording.

6) As I understand it, if you win you also get to put a song of yours on a compilation CD that gets distributed acros Canada. That's pretty cool by itself. But the top three bands also get to play a show in Vancouver at the Cultural Center. Which is a KILLER venue.

7) I also am interested in seeing T.A.W.G. They sound awsome on thier demo.

8) We've got tickets too. :o) - Wed, 10 Jan 2007 9:01pm Edited: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 9:07pm
