Anon386 | New Music West is a cool event. The bands that are going are some of Victoria's most productive and entertaining. Slaggers are lame. Why bother saying you won't be going to something and talking it down. Big time fucking losers posting to Live Vic as usual. It doesn't matter since the bands appearing at NMW are clearly making something happen for themselves. Almost all bands people like ( including metal and punk ) appear at similar events and use them for their benefit. Losers hate these type of showcases and any other thing that might help them in your musical pursuits. Losers. - Fri, 9 May 2003 7:15pm | ||
Hero of the day | Actually Ive been going hella hard for more than a year.....Am I going to NMW.....NO Why?. I dont have the money nor the time off to go....Yes we have to pay for band shit someway....So no people that arent going , may not have anything to do with being a looser, or not wanting it that much for their band. Lord knows I want more for my band than this, although yes it is very helpfull. - Fri, 9 May 2003 7:24pm | ||

moron User Info... | New Music West is a scam put on by sleazy industry types wanting to get a) free shit b) money out of naive bands thinking that playing New Music West will allow them to "make it". New Music West is evil just like all these industry wank fests are. It's a formal troughing frenzy for sleezy A&R reps, industry hacks and lawyers. The fact that it is Pay To Play should make that pretty damn obvious I would have thought. If you want to get signed (i.e. raped and plundered by corporate interests) get yourself a following by touring hard and then they will come looking for you. Who wants to bet that Hot Hot Heat gets dropped after the first or second album with massive debt owing to the label that owns the rights to their name? - Fri, 9 May 2003 8:12pm | ||

Anon386 | Only a loser would claim that NMW is evil. You are dumb. 100% idiot. The powers that be will find you in the bowels of Victoria because they see how in your mind you have the true great music. How dumb can Live Vic posters be. Get lost. Loser! - Sat, 10 May 2003 3:26am | ||

SweetGrass | Wow! How would you all have responded if Woodstock had been posted on Live Vic??? A little support for musicians playing music and bringing the spotlight on the west . It might even be fun! - Sun, 11 May 2003 2:00am | ||
Mr. Monkey Pants | New Music West is going to be a very important event this year. Because Of SARS,North by Northeast in Toronto was pretty much called off. Therefor all the label reps that would normally go to that will instead be coming to NMW. To the guy who posted that there will be a bunch of blood sucking people who are trying to use bands. You are an idiot! There are a ton of seminars on how to manage your band, contracts, touring, laws, copywrites, how to get signed, indie labels etc. Those are put on by musicians to help musicians. I is a great opportunity to meet other bands, make contacts, showcase and have a good time. I'm not a huge NMW whore but it's about the only time of year when local businesses actually support the music scene. Good luck supporting yourself through music with that attitude. There are a few bad fish but there are many other people that want to rebuild the scene and really love music. Not every one is out to get you. I know this because my band has had a huge amount of help along the way. People did it for free becasue they liked our music not becasue they wanted $. I'm stoked to see some of the best bands in BC playing together. - Sun, 11 May 2003 4:34am | ||
Mr. Monkey Pants | Oh yeah, by the way NMW is not pay to play dipshit! Pay to play is when if you don't get a certain number of people in the bar you owe the bar money. My bands playing NMW and it is not pay to play. I hate it when people rant about things they know nothing about. - Sun, 11 May 2003 4:45am | ||

Jonathon | NMW is not pay to play. Turn off your internet. Go write some good songs. And then maybe all you punk wankers could someday play in a band that is good enough for people to actually "like" or be "totally into the music". Fucking punks. - Sun, 11 May 2003 1:40pm | ||

Torrie User Info... | Well them Moneyshot guys put on high energy shows (and Josh is HOTTT!) so we'll have to be there one way or another and last year I saw Armchair Cynics and they do a rocKING show too. Our only concern is making sure we see Belt though but we're staying for the whole thing. My friend is sooo stupidly in love with their lead singer and the drummer comes into my work all the time and makes effort to come by my desk(nice ASS!). I might see if there's some possibility for some A-C-T-I-O-N after LMFAO. Yes we're bad girls but it's all good!!!!!!!!!!!!!What shows are you going to Ali? Who else is going?

yah_boyeeeeeeeee | The lack of purile posts returned by Belt speaks volumes to their patience and tolerance of 15-year-old little wanna-be's that think they're Sum-41 but aren't. Belt has proved themselves in this particular town as being a fun, entertaining, talented band that really don't have time for whiny, snot-nosed little boys and girls with skateboards and ska shirts. I only know a couple of the guys personally, but they'll probably still be around for a few years more, and you'll probably be sitting around alone.....wishing..... - Fri, 16 May 2003 10:15pm | ||
