The Perish/Perish Productions Attention all booking agents and Venue managers:

The Perish is looking to host CD release/single release party in Victoria.

We have lots of media attention, lots of people interested, lots of promo, contacts, and WE JUST NEED TO GET OUT THERE! I have been managing the band's affairs but do not have what it takes to book us in a large venue. Our next media review is by Nexus and is pending on if we are booked by December 9th. Someone please help me book a show, sincerely Christine - Wed, 4 Dec 2002 3:08pm
Cha Cha Call Soundgarden or Thursdays, you'll get a show. if they wont have ya, nobody will. - Wed, 4 Dec 2002 3:59pm
John Pooface What kind of media reviews do you have if they are all by papers the size of the "nexus" you dumbfuck. - Wed, 4 Dec 2002 6:24pm
Anonymous You forgot "The sooke Mirror"! Now there's a HUGE paper!Nothing good ever came out of that hole anyways. And what the fuck do they mean by "references"? Goin to a job interview, or what? With all the smoke coming out of your ass it must be hard to see straight. - Wed, 4 Dec 2002 6:52pm

If you pay Ent-Ausserung four hundred dollars, you can play a fourteen minute set at the Ent-Ausserung show at Thursdays on Saturday with FUCK ME USA, THE RED LIGHT STING, AND DEATH FROM ABOVE.

I'm assuming you're operating based upon the maxim "any publicity is good publicity"? If so, you might consider committing some sort of violent or sexual offense to bring light to your stellar group. - Thu, 5 Dec 2002 11:11am

Christine I am disgusted in peoples attitudes in this town. You think that people with a common interest would band together for help and support. I think your comments are unprofessional and doesn't affect our goals. This web site is for contacts and marketing music NOT insults and flack so FUCK YOU. People like you will never see past your pathetic tunnel vision and really have no place in our universe. Get a fucken life and pick up a guitar instead pretending. - Thu, 5 Dec 2002 1:27pm
Anonymous I am not interested in people's comments. If you can help us awesome if not don't waste my time. I can't believe the amount of rude folks there is here, what happened to you? . Why not be nice maybe someone will like you. - Thu, 5 Dec 2002 1:40pm
Cha Cha Chill out Christine aka The Perish. there are lots of cool musicians and posters here too that either just dont repond, only read. Dont let the punks and trolls get to ya, they are just trying to get this rise from you. What you should do is not post 50 times about your band, one or two will do, and do some local shows already before you start to try and just pounce on the scene. Alot of bands around, alot are working bands, and nobody has EVER heard of your band, so nobody cares.. nature of the net baby. - Thu, 5 Dec 2002 1:46pm

this website has always been for insults and flack - Thu, 5 Dec 2002 1:54pm
hey perish posting here will never help anyways. you should be informed that this is not a place to receive help unless you belong to on of the local music cliques. you would be far better off posting a poster in the bathroom of a denny's than asking for help from any of the people that frequent this board.
i would suggest you get on the computer and check the yellow pages here and vancouver.
unless your freinds with half the bands in this city don't expect anyone from victoria to come to your show and support you. people in this city have such a L.A. attitude, unless your already popular or have hundreds of friends no one will get of there ass to check out a new band. me and my band are new to town aswell and after a few thousand postersand ,tv,newspaper,radio spots = very few people showing up for shows. we have decided that vancouver is the only place we will play. victoria is a nice place to raise a family but very hard to find acceptance for music. oh unless you place shitty punk music than forget what i just said, cause it seems the less talent you have the better chance of getting a gig. - Thu, 5 Dec 2002 2:03pm

I'm serious about that $400 offer, you'll get a lot more credibility from my show than whatever open mic you're attempting to get in on.

And people will appreciate your music ironically! - Thu, 5 Dec 2002 2:04pm

The $400 is an estimate on the amount of compensation we're going to have to pay those attending for subjecting them to "Perish". - Thu, 5 Dec 2002 2:28pm

It's all jokes and false propghanda kids. If you can't take some half assed punker bullshit from anonymous idiots like us then what makes you think you'll have an easier time in the real world? If you're ever lucky enough to hit a large city, you'll hear what real criticism is, and it aint' this post board shit either. This is funny more than anything else. Thicken your skin. - Thu, 5 Dec 2002 8:48pm

Christine Thanks to the good advice everyone. For everyone else thanks for the free publicity, you people just made it all happen. Some people will know what to do! - Sat, 7 Dec 2002 5:28pm
