| pancakes User Info... | all the bands did an excellent job and played really well, but i have to say that diegos is one of the worst venues ever they treated the bands like shit as well as the audience what does everyone else think? - Tue, 29 Mar 2005 5:44pm | ||
| lauren a User Info... | it seemed like an okay venue to me. the show was awesome except i'm pretty sure someone from the coat check stole $20 from my bag. - Tue, 29 Mar 2005 6:34pm | ||
| KinDusty User Info... | I'm not sure of the details, but I heard that the bouncers decided not to let the drummer of Choke in because he looked too young..(?) They finally let him in just in time to play their set, but the bouncers were still cruisin thru the place, making sure all was in order...just kind of awkward. The venue was cool, decent stage, good sound cool lights and all that fancy crap. GOMM were a really tight, semi-technical band. I liked their sound, but the singer's voice kind of bothered me. Overall good stage presence and Im sure the audience enjoyed. The reason was awesome, I was hoping to hear some different stuff than what was on their album "Ravenna" (sp?) but they played about 7 songs from that cd. Really entertaining band to watch, REALLY good tunes, and cool guys too. go see them if you get the chance. It was kind of sad to think that i probably wont' ever see choke again, as I've liked that band for quite a few years now. They didn't play as good as the last time i saw them, but still, you've gotta admire a band that can play and original type of music like that for so many years. All in all I had a really good time, wish i had some $$$ for merch, but i spent it all at the door ($12!) - Tue, 29 Mar 2005 7:15pm | ||

| Scott Kirkwood User Info... | Diego's has taken your words to heart and have made steps to correct the situtaion for all future acts and events. This incident could have been averted if all parties were on the same page. To combat this and to raise the level of acts coming to Diego's. I (Scott Kirkwood) have been aquired to facilitate shows and promote events for the venue. For those unaware I've been on the Island for 5 years initially working for The Q! and The Zone@91-3. I've done booking, promotion and live event execution for "Armchair Cynics" for 2 years. My passion is live music and the positive experience you receive when it goes right...really right! To all Victoria Live music fans come see for yourself! Any bands interested in performing or anyone you'd like to see come to town email me. [email protected] - Tue, 29 Mar 2005 8:46pm | ||

| mb User Info... | wicked show. yeah that thing with the bouncers was seriously retarded. at the same time, that place has a great stage and could be really good once they start figuring out how to get things done. which maybe they're doing since they decided to change promo staff. but I definitely don't think it's destroying live music. maybe just not adding much yet. - Wed, 30 Mar 2005 9:27pm | ||
| Livevic Scott User Info... | The show was great from a musical side, although choke didn't play their best set however thats to be expected with what they went through. On the positive side the owner of the bar/hotel called me yesterday and appologied for how things turned out. He also invited me out to lunch on sunday to discuss changes that need to occur for them to be able to present live music. From the sounds of it they're atempting to make some steps in the right direction, I'll let you guys know how the meeting goes. Its a nice room, hopefully something can be worked out. - Wed, 30 Mar 2005 11:43pm | ||

| The One After Two User Info... | did the bouncer punch the guy? - Sun, 3 Apr 2005 6:10pm | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | So... the guy from Choke got choked.. Whats with some bouncers in this city? Do bars hire bouncers that come from so far north they have never been to a live show before? Fights at live shows in this city are pretty rare too so unless they were letting their regular top40 crowd in they should have had no problems. Idiots. - Wed, 6 Apr 2005 11:00am | ||
| Adrenaline Animal User Info... | I've only ever seen 2 fight's durring live shows in this city, and they were both about 5 years ago. - Wed, 6 Apr 2005 5:49pm | ||
