| Tragedy User Info... | Any bands who wanna play Buffy's Pub in Sooke, that's right, Sooke...yeah, I know, I know. (It's actually done really well in the past, and the bar broke records for liquor sales last week when we booked a death metal band.) I'm in charge of bookings and stuff, but I'm desperate for bands who actually wanna play in Sooke, so help me out here, if you wanna play, any style, of legal drinking age, a little talent and more than 5 songs would be nice, drop me a line at 642-7362 ask for Shannon. - Tue, 12 Apr 7:50pm - Tue, 12 Apr 2005 8:01pm | ||
| Anonymous User Info... | hey book vincat, they're tight. - Tue, 12 Apr 2005 8:47pm | ||
| Nat User Info... | there was a metal band IN SOOKE? thats crazy. Who? would have made living there a little more fun...not much though. - Tue, 12 Apr 2005 9:46pm | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | Shameless Plug in 3...2...1...The band that played there on Saturday call themselves the Sooke Skids. Very talented and pretty tight, as they should be, they've been jamming together for about 10 years. Word around the party is they might be playing at the Tolmie Hell House sometime in the near future, SO BE THERE, FUCKERS! You don't want to miss it... There are tons of metalheads in Sooke, there always have been. It's just that until recently most of em have been too drunk to get their shit together... Jeezus, who the hell am I kidding. They're drunk right now. - Tue, 12 Apr 2005 10:26pm | ||
| Jesse The Malcontent User Info... | I'd go, but only if they set up a stage and PA at Mom's Cafe. Now that would be a venue. - Wed, 13 Apr 2005 12:17am | ||
| josh User Info... | As would be most places if you set up a PA and a stage.... :) - Wed, 13 Apr 2005 12:25am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | hey Mito might want to do this... - Wed, 13 Apr 2005 1:22am | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Your booking for Buffy's pub?!? Actually, the place is just about as big as Logan's pub (I think), I've only been there once or twice (I never went to any pubs that many times when I lived in Sooke) but I used to know a few of the bartenders there. - Wed, 13 Apr 2005 7:13am | ||
| Nat User Info... | yeah sooke definitely has it's fair share of metal heads, the problem is most of them are 17 or 18 and can't get in the bars, or do and get kicked out asap. nice name for a band...the sooke skids...but if they really wnated to branch out to vic they might want to change it haha. I think i know who it is though...chucks band? - Wed, 13 Apr 2005 7:39am | ||
| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Tragedy: you say ANY style? /might be giving you a call. - Wed, 13 Apr 2005 8:44am | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | Funny story, actually, right before I read that last post I was thinkin' "Ya know what would be perfect for Buffy's?" Doug, Justin and Brian do the Beatles, of course!! The thing about my position, as much as I'd LOVE to turn that little shit hole into a metal venue, I have to mix it up and make everybody happy. As long as every few weeks I can fill the place with rockers and promote my friends, my job is well worth it. - Wed, 13 Apr 2005 8:46am | ||
| Mutilashawn User Info... | Yes Tragedy, Mito would be very interested! - Wed, 13 Apr 2005 10:02am | ||
| SickFuk User Info... |  'ere - Thu, 14 Apr 2005 3:45pm | ||
| I Kissed Lucia User Info... | The trouble is that Buffy's will get all pissy and start tossing people out if they mosh, or are underage (aka 90% of the sooke metal fans) that and the fact it's in Sooke - Thu, 14 Apr 2005 5:24pm | ||
| Pascal User Info... | Wow, this could turn out awesome. Sooke does definately have its share of music fans... there was a show on the native rez here by the same band (Sooke Skids) a while ago and according to everyone who went (I had to miss it for that barn show, also in Sooke) it was absolutely nuts. We may all be too young to get into Buffys officially, but that doesn't stop us most of the time, this is Sooke after all. If some bands actually got out here to play, I can guarantee it would be a hell of a show.... btw.. Mito has quite a following here in Sooke and there were a bunch of us at that last Tolmie show too (ie. the entire mosh pit that night) so if SICK comes out we'll all be there. Here's hoping. - Thu, 14 Apr 2005 5:34pm | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | Bring ID. My bouncer is psycho. A few people have been kicked out for repeatedly taking their drinks outside with them, but nobody has been kicked out for moshing so far. Mosh if you wanna, but if you're being a flailing moron and plowing into people or breaking shit you just might get kicked out, OR you could have a little respect for the fact that Buffy's is the ONLY place in Sooke that is doing the live music thing right now, (thanks to yours truly,) and not fuck it up for everybody. People were moshing at the last skids show, within reason. Nothing was damaged and nobody got hurt, and that's why The Skids are welcome back. - Fri, 15 Apr 2005 11:18am | ||
| Jesse The Malcontent User Info... | Where the hell is Buffy's? What nights of the week are open for booking? How many spinal cord injuries do you expect from drunk-asses driving back to Vic on the Galloping Goose trail after the shows? When did sooke get an A&W? ...So Many questions. BTW Tragedy, How's Kym doin'? - Sat, 16 Apr 2005 1:38am | ||
| slipintotheshade User Info... | do the Baird's still run Buffy's? - Sat, 16 Apr 2005 5:53am | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | 6858 West Coast Rd., Saturday nights, six, 2001, Kym is dead to me, and...no, Jay and Fiona Ryan bought it a little while ago. Feel free to call me if you have any other questions. - Sat, 16 Apr 2005 11:06am | ||
| Dru User Info... | Is there a PA system or do bands have to supply their own? - Sat, 16 Apr 2005 12:00pm | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | FOR NOW...we don't have a PA. It's a pretty small place though, a PA isn't really all that necessary yet. There isn't even a stage, but they're renovating and taking into consideration a functional space that accomodates. When The Skids played they shoved themselves into the corner where the dartboards are. But it worked. This is kind of a new thing to Buffy's so we're working out the bugs. Stay tuned. - Sat, 16 Apr 2005 12:19pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | And is it just metal or would other styles go over well there (I'm thinking of the twisted psycho-country sounds of dp smith and Dad's Juice). Finally (and some would say, most importantly) what kind of dough is there to be had. - Sat, 16 Apr 2005 12:29pm | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | Actually, we are in desperate need of bands that aren't metal. We've got metal, and that's a good thing, but I can't do it all the time. I have to mix it up. We're in the process of figuring out what my budget will be, I divide it accordingly between paying the bands, advertising, additional staff (ie.servers and security) and anything else that comes up. How much the band makes depends mainly on experience and what kind of crowd they can bring in, which we sort of have to throw a guess at sometimes. - Sat, 16 Apr 2005 12:36pm | ||
| zac User Info... | D.I.Y. would love to play in Sooke, only were a bit lacking in the equipment department at the present time. If I had some kind of contact for another band on the bill id be happy to relieve you of the burden of asking if some snotty punk band can use their gear. keep us in mind, we play for beer or beer money only. - Tue, 19 Apr 2005 11:55am | ||
| Aborshun User Info... | Waste of space for those who can't bring themselves to get a real life/job.Sooke sucks and I can't see any reason to play there or see a band there. The majority of the pop in Sooke are welfare skids with no clue as to what is on the other side...in the real world...anywhere other than Sooke. Pretty TRAGIC Tragedy. - Sun, 8 May 2005 3:47pm | ||
| Aborshun User Info... | That is pretty Tragic. Get a real life/job. Sooke sucks and so does Buffy's. I can't see any reason to play there or see a show there. The majority of the population in Sooke are welfare skids with no clue as to what's on the other side...the real world...anywhere other than sooke. And the chicks are UUGLY! - Sun, 8 May 2005 4:08pm | ||
| Slotter User Info... | This is LiveVictoria not LiveSooke - Sun, 8 May 2005 4:46pm | ||
| Nat User Info... | hahahahah. had to add that. - Mon, 9 May 2005 10:23am | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | "Get a real life/ job"...Thanks tips, I've got three jobs that I love, I've made a hobby out of promoting local music and FYI I have a list of about 30 bands that do want to play Buffy's, I'm 26 and I own my own house and make more money than you could wrap your empty head around, What is it you do again? Are YOU NEW??! And Nat, my god, when are you gonna shut the fuck up? I wouldn't piss on you to put a fire out. You WISH you had my life. Suck it. Thanks for bumping my thread, bitch. - Mon, 9 May 2005 10:57am | ||
| The One After Two User Info... | Sooke is a great part of this planet. I love driving out there... people who post this sort of shit are fucktards. - Mon, 9 May 2005 2:24pm | ||
| Gman User Info... | Insults on the internet? Say it isn't so! Chill out folks. - Mon, 9 May 2005 4:44pm | ||
| Nat User Info... | Oh yes i wish i had your life...hahahaha - Mon, 9 May 2005 5:49pm | ||
| Kimberleykaos User Info... | Ahhhh...I see my favorite little annoying mouthpiece is still at it. Thanks for the info Tragedy...I'll be sure to check it out sometime, it would be a nice stop after the potholes one lovely day. - Mon, 9 May 2005 6:01pm | ||
| Nat User Info... | I love you too Kim. - Mon, 9 May 2005 6:17pm | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | Ms. Kaos!! I missed you. Nat, I find your humor stale and stagnant. Don't try to be funny. It doesn't fit you well. - Mon, 9 May 2005 9:25pm | ||
| sam User Info... | Sooke is sick! I'm looking forward to seeing a show there tragedy. - Tue, 10 May 2005 10:00am | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | Thanks Sam, Saturday May 21 we have a metal show with the Sooke Skids. They're wicked evil. Come check it out. - Tue, 10 May 2005 11:19am | ||
| Nat User Info... | they really chose an accurate band name-couldn't be better. - Tue, 10 May 2005 11:26am | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | Up yours. You're not invited. - Tue, 10 May 2005 11:27am | ||
| Nat User Info... | That's too bad, i was really looking forward to the two hour bus ride and free cocaine. - Tue, 10 May 2005 11:44am | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | Nah, it's the staff at The Castle that gets their coke for free. Hey Nat, doesn't your sister work there? - Tue, 10 May 2005 12:21pm | ||
| T Racy User Info... | . .bus ride, eh Nat? A member of the looser-cruiser gang. Explains a lot. Ok I sunk to it's level, but I must say - Who do you think is coming to shows that take place in high-population Victoria but sometimes have very poor turnouts, if truth be told. Those die-hard fans are sometimes those of us who live in our very own mansions on our very own estates in . . you guessed it . . Sooke. And we have our own selection of motorized chariots to take us hither. Often only takes about 30 minutes actually. Learn to drive as soon as you are old enough. You go Tragedy and good luck. I've never gone to Buffy's but if given a reason I will. At least you are trying. - Tue, 10 May 2005 12:46pm | ||
| Nat User Info... | I drive, actually-and im 20. But my boyfriend has the car on weekends. I lived in sooke much too long (parental error) and got out of there as soon as i could. Yes Trajedy, my sister works there. Half sister actually-she works their to save money for the classes she takes at uvic and a place in Victoria. Also, i wasn't referring to Buffy's in regard to coke...i was talking about the skids. - Tue, 10 May 2005 1:26pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | hey one after two, I enjoyed the "fucktards" comments. Very funny. In case it hasn't been said to death: Sooke Rules!! I only moved into town to live with my musician bf because he has to live within stumbling distance to his jam spot. Otherwise I'd still be out there. Sure I'd be playing pool at the castle (not doing coke), surfing in the winter, and chillin with all my closest friends, but in town I can hang out at home playing on the internet when I should be writing. Has Buffy's changed that much? Last time I was there it was still run by the creepy women. - Tue, 10 May 2005 1:40pm | ||
| Nat User Info... | they have new owners... and the castle isn't half bad, i had some good times there. - Tue, 10 May 2005 1:48pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | 'And we have our own selection of motorized chariots to take us hither.' Especially when you drink and drive right Tracy? Still waiting for the day we hear about your untimely demise due to your own stupidity... Just be sure to do it on the hog ok? If yer gonna do it you might as well leave a real big mess to cleanup :p - Tue, 10 May 2005 2:15pm | ||
| Anonymous User Info... | "I'm 26 and I own my own house and make more money than you could wrap your empty head around" - Mon, 9 May 10:57am In your profile it says you're broke... - Tue, 10 May 2005 2:58pm | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | I pay a morgtage, a 20,000 down payment bill for said house, have a kid, have a teenage pseudo foster daughter, have bills, smoke cigarettes, and shop my ASS off. So, yeah. I know how to make alot of money. I also know how to spend it real fast. I can't justify buying myself an amp when my daughter wants to play minor hockey. FUCK hockey is expensive. But enough about me, for godsake... - Tue, 10 May 2005 3:21pm | ||
| Nat User Info... | Yes, please, enough already. On a side note, if you quit smoking you can buy an amp. - Tue, 10 May 2005 3:30pm | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | On a side note, why don't you go troll in another thread? You're really starting to get under my fucking skin. - Tue, 10 May 2005 3:43pm | ||
| Mutilashawn User Info... | the best people at Mito shows are ALL from Sooke. that posse of them that trek into town to see shows have my utmost respect. - Tue, 10 May 2005 3:54pm | ||
| Nat User Info... | I'de suggest you have a cigarette then Trajedy. - Tue, 10 May 2005 4:03pm | ||

| Tragedy User Info... | Blech. Honestly. Muppets don't have balls. The last one didn't, anyway...and my daughter isn't a teenager, she's 8. But I'm willing to bet she'd still kick your furry ass. - Fri, 27 May 2005 1:27pm | ||
| Whiskey User Info... | Ive got your mom bent over the kitchen table, you muppet bitch, wacka wacka wacka!!! sincerely, the teenage psuedo foster daughter. - Fri, 27 May 2005 2:19pm | ||

| Dr.DoomXXX User Info... | You're as bad as willem. You're probably one of of his alter ego sacks of shit. - Sun, 29 May 2005 9:22pm | ||
| ODIN User Info... | haha that's what I was thinking. - Sun, 29 May 2005 9:51pm | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | Gross. Just gross. - Mon, 30 May 2005 5:59am | ||
| Anonymous User Info... | You're an idiot, Pubert. Whack off! - Mon, 30 May 2005 9:39pm | ||

| Tragedy User Info... | Woah, this thread stopped making sense... - Tue, 14 Jun 2005 7:43am | ||
| The One After Two User Info... | so anymore shows coming to Sooke? - Tue, 14 Jun 2005 9:34am | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | YES. I just don't know when yet. I'm pretty much done with Buffy's, with a few exceptions here and there but there are other things in the works. When I know you'll know. Speaking of, I need a big chunk of property out here for a weekend and I'm gonna throw the rager of the year, the place we were thinking of fell through. If anybody has any bright ideas lemme know. - Wed, 15 Jun 2005 6:08pm | ||
| Corn in my terds User Info... | Sooke is the Capital Region's unwiped anus, full of hillbillies. The only smart ones are those who left and never returned. A trip to Buffy's on any night of the week is alot like going to the zoo and seeing the monkeys play in their pen and pee on one another. The whole place needs to be shot, then pissed on - Wed, 15 Jun 2005 7:46pm | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | You're absolutely right. Thank you for enlightening me, wise ass. I'm packing right now. Honestly. Do you think anybody gives a fuck about your anonymous rant? Assholes are like opinions, fucker. Everybodys got one. Fuck what you think. - Thu, 16 Jun 2005 5:35am | ||
