| SPENCER User Info... | What a night eh guys? I hope everyone had a good time up until the disaster with 32 ounce boy. I mean come on, who drinks 32 ounces of gin and goes to an all ages show? That was alot of excitement in one night. And i hope the kid is all right. But aside form that I really liked the line up. I thought that the people who put this show on did a fantastic job and deserve alot of credit. Rarely does an all ages gary oak room sell out. And last night went beyond selling out. Good job to all the bands!!!!!!!!!!! And i hope we dont have to have anymore accidents like that again. Its very bad for premoters and other people tryin to put on an all ager. Cheers and enjoy the rest of your weekend. -Spencer - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 9:17am | ||
| burnt_humanity User Info... | ya no shit eh. i mean lythic blue put the whole thing on and then they got to play 2 songs but half way through the second they had to stop playing. its so not fair to them. plus hte show is ALL AGES..that generally means you dont drink even if your over age which tis guy clearly was not. i mean did he honestly think about everyone else he was affecting. at home fine drink what ever but not at a show where they stop the show for you because you passed out. Aside from the drunken stupid kid the show was alright they all played really well and it was a good mix of genres. there was a lil bit for everyone and not only that but there was some major skanking and mash pits. totally awesome show over all. kudos to the organizers! - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 9:21am | ||
| lauren a User Info... | good luck having another all ages show there. does anyone know what happened to that kid? - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 11:10am | ||
| matty User Info... | definitly a dope show... what happened with the kid? i had to leave early... anyone know who he was and if he's alright... i mean, 32 ounces of gin, wow - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 11:13am | ||
| Graham User Info... | Yeah I'm pretty sure the kid is gonna be alright. I was one of the guys that helped the kid out. The paramedics said that he poisoned himself with that much gin. We apologize for having to turn the kitchen into an ER thus forcing Lythic Blue to stop in the middle of his set. Also, if anyone is wondering, the reason we were running around was because we needed that bottle he had. In the end we never found that bottle. The paramedics wanted it so that they could figure out if he had anything else as well. They couldn't give him any really beneficial meds to him incase he had taken other drugs. Well anyways, it was an awesome show last night. I really wanted to hear some Lythic but I was too busy in the ER. But hey I was really impressed with the Mad Hatters, PUD, and Ten Two Late and Black Tie Social. I was really impressed. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 11:24am | ||
| utopian society User Info... | Well, it was certainly an interesting show to say the least. It's really a shame that it had to be cut short, it left a lot of people disappointed. Now, onto the bands... I got to the show late and missed Black Tie Social, which was too bad because I was really looking forward to seeing them. They're playing next weekend (at the White Eagle Hall in James Bay - you should go!) so it's not a complete loss, but it still would have been nice to catch their set. The Madd Hatters were up to their standard hijinx, with their bouncy and energetic ska-punk. They're solid, but after seeing them just last weekend their music didn't draw me in like it usually does. Though metal isn't exactly my forte, it was clear to see that a lot of people in the crowd were enjoying Twiceborn. Their music was anchored by strong drumming, and the alternating vocals made their sound more interesting. A talented band I'm sure, but just not my style. Pushing Up Daisies were, as always, extremely impressive. Their cool demeanor made them an instant success with the crowd, and they certainly had the tunes to back up their image. Their set seemed a little shorter than usual, but maybe that was just me not paying attention. "Shotgun Love" was awesome as the closing song. This set only further established Pushing Up Daisies as one of the city's most promising young bands. Maybe it's just me, but Ten Too Late seemed different from the last time I saw them. I can't put my finger on what it was, but they seemed to give off a bit of a strange vibe. "Hotel California" was cool and got the crowd moving (as usual), but they didn't play the mullet song ("Business at the Front") which was a bit sad. After coming back from that long cross-Canada tour of theirs, Lythic Blue was probably really looking forward to getting back and playing for the local all-ages crowd. The band seemed in fine form as they began their set, opening with the blistering "Distance Between the Moon and a Star". Despite the departure (?) of Ryan and the (temporary?) addition of Al, they seemed tight and together. "Ocean Spirit" was going fantastically until... well, we all know what happened next, so there's no point in retelling it because it will just make me angry all over again. Moral of the story - don't drink at all-ages shows. Please. PLEASE. I mean, I hope the guy's alright, but I can't find a lot of sympathy in my heart for somebody who is that idiotic. Not only did he get the show shut down, he could have damaged the reputation we've established at the Garry Oak Room. Hopefully it won't progress that far, because it would be really terrible to lose such a great venue. If you're going to go out to all-ages shows, obey the rules. They're there for a reason. And if you're going to drink, know your limit, folks. We don't want this happening again. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 11:34am | ||
| Demen Ted User Info... | Awesome show. To anyone who wasnt skanking to 10 Too Late, BOO. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 11:43am | ||
| k8 User Info... | That was a really good show, minus the being cut short bit, but it sold out and all which was great. I hope this incident doesn't hurt the promoters & the availability of the Gary Oak Room for all ages shows... Black Tie Social - The first time I'd seen them. They were really good, although aside from the vocals nothing really stood out to me but it all fit together really well. The whole Gangster's Paradise thing was funny, I'm looking forward to seeing them next week. Madd Hatters - I spent most of their set outside but they sounded good. Ninjas is a fun song. I think with this show they crossed the line over to 'too many shows played in too short a time', though. Twiceborn - Had I gone to this show 6 months ago I probably would've enjoyed this set more, but I guess I've grown out of the whole nu-metal thing. They are good at what they do...& Crispy is an excellent drummer. The vocals were cool, too. Can't say that they really tickled my fancy, though. Pushing Up Daisies - A lot of fun to dance to, great stage presence as always and a tight sound. Techno mosh pit? Err... Ten Too Late - I agree with what you said, utopian society, that they seemed different from the last time I saw them. I couldn't hear the vocals very well, but the instrumentals were great, very tight and polished. Too bad they didn't play Business At The Front. Lythic Blue - Well, at least they played my favourite song of theirs first. Hopefully they'll play another all ager sometime soon. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 11:50am | ||
| Graham User Info... | Okay so I just tried calling Vic General and the guy's name wasn't comming up on the computer so they think he was discharged last night or earlier this morning. The fact is he's probaly got the worst hangover ever and is gonna have one hell of a story to tell his friends at school tomorrow. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 12:01pm | ||
| Blackjack User Info... | Whether you're a leprechaun midget or a giant from Scotland, drinking 32 ounces of gin to yourself is by far one of the stupidest things you could ever do. Add all ager show and you now have 140 people hating your guts because it's your fault the groovin had to stop. Black Tie Social: Mad gangsta stylin placed in here with some skat and jazz. I was digging this performance even more than their show at Burnside a while back. The alien mask was the icing on the cake. Madd Hatters: I had heard good things, and they delivered. I enjoyed the two vocalists, and I think it really helped drive the sound of "She Has a Girlfriend Now." The suits also made me drool. Twiceborn: I don't like metal, but these guys have a good heavy sound. Not my cup of tea, but I don't get a choice when someone's throwing the cup at my face. Way to go guys. Ten Too Late: What can I say? Hmmmm...SKA! BIG BALLSY CALIFORNIA HOTEL TRIPPING BLISS! Lythic Blue: Which brings me to the shortest set a band has ever played at a show I've been to. It was short, sweet, and emotional beyond all the parameters of other Victoria bands. Where would the night have gone if the drunkpunk hadn't splayed himself across the kitchen table...ahhhh...only Budha knows... - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 12:11pm | ||
| ScottL User Info... | This was quite the wicked show, I really really enjoyed myself. All the bands played REALLY REALLY WELL. Regardless of my interest in their style I really thought everyone pulled it off great. Thanks to the promoters (andrea!) for giving us this chance! Chris p. I have a bit of a bone to pick with you. Next time, take your stuff off stage then pack it up. I shouldn't have to haul your stuff out in order to put mine on stage. This kinda set us back a bit and had to take a song out of our set. I'm not mad or anything and its not a huge deal, but i didn't really appreciate that Nev and I had to move your stuff for you. Sucks ass about your cymbal too, thats massivly crappy, warranty?. (this is all assuming you didn't have a good reason for not hauling your own stuff. cause maybe you did.) Sucks the show had to be cut short but... shit happens. I won't bother writing a reveiw on everyone because everyone did their thing so freaking well. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 1:03pm | ||
| Madd Hatter User Info... | i say lay off Gusty (the 32 oz boy). hes just trying to have a good time and i for one say props. lets face it 32oz of gin is more than i can shake a fist at so let it slide. years from now i will be telling my grandchildren about the golden drinking god who is DAVID. the band i'm in (hatters) drinks on stage, in the crowd ,on the shitter, and at the breakfast table. don't shelter the young upstars at the all ages shows. we all get shitfaced at one point of our lives... one must embrace, not hate. -peace Ben - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 2:00pm | ||
| Andrea User Info... | hey. id like to thank everyone who helped stephanie and i out with this show: the bands, security, livevictoria, chaperones and everyone who came. despite the whole gin incident (which was unfortunate but well handled for the most part), the show was a huge success. we managed to sell out and raise way more money for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation than expected. we did a recount of the money and without deducting expenses we made a grand total of $1500. which i think is pretty amazing. i hope everyone enjoyed the show. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 2:12pm | ||
| The One After Two User Info... | why did you have to stop the show. Just call his mommy and be done with him, back to the rock? - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 2:14pm | ||
| [+} User Info... | sorry to hear about the underaged alcohol abuse, but he has already had enough attention. a big thank you to andrea and stephanie for putting the AIDS benefit together, and also to the other bands. apologies for us not being able to stay to hear the rest of the bands yesterday night. sorry to all those blistered by the keys from our band.. i'm not sure what was up with the sound that night, hopefully they solved it. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 2:18pm | ||
| Andrea User Info... | we had to stop the show because thats what the paramedics wanted. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 2:23pm | ||
| Bilbo Baggins of the shire User Info... | Umm.. wow, first thing, the entire POINT of all ages shows is to drink to much.. i tip my hat to the boy in the hospital.. i didn't catch alot of it, fortunatly i was there to see twiceborn, it's hard to really understand just how bad life can be untill you see a shitty preformance from a wanna-be nu metal band, good job guys.. all the other preformances were pretty good, pushing up daisy's were probably the best of the lot.. the last two bands played a total of 30 minutes combined.. i'm glad i got what i payed for... - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 2:44pm | ||
| chris User Info... | thanks bilbo we love complements we loved playing the show we loved the other bands especially the madd hatters i love ya virtue and thank you very much andrea for putting us on and twiceborn along with the fuzz 30 days cut throat dynasty and knights of the apocolypse this coming saturday hope to see you all there thanks - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 3:03pm | ||
| Madd Hatter User Info... | yeah the sound was fucked up, lots of feedback.... - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 3:05pm | ||
| matty User Info... | hey, that was gustav? wow, i didnt know he was even there... props to him i dont think the problem was wholy the sound guys fault, in the hatters set ben's amp was buzzin a lot, sorry ben but the feedback was mostly commin from you durring our set personally, i think twiceborn isnt that bad... i dare to say i like them... the first band, i didnt catch there name but they were also very good... sweet show for the most part - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 3:42pm | ||

| lauren a User Info... | last time i checked the point of all ages show is so kids who are underage can listen to good music without going to a bar. if you guys can't keep your drinking under control, you're not going to be able to have the priveledge to have shows. it's almost easier to put on a bar show and most out of town bands prefer it. quit abusing all ages shows or there won't be any and you'll have to wait until you're 19. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 4:01pm | ||
| Livevic Scott User Info... | Everone knows there's going to be people having a few drinks at shows but any of you who are "saluting" that kid are fucked. Shit like that will ruin the chance of future all ages shows at that venue as well as other venues, its not like they don't talk. I remember not too long ago there was only *ONE* venue we could use in the city but because people respected the places we managed to convince other centers and venues to open up... now we have lots and a solid scene building with lots of people supporting. Don't fuck it up for everyone. If your going to drink just be a little bit responsible about it, have a few drinks but DON'T bring booze to the venue and DON'T get so fucked up you can't handle yourself. Have a little respect for the venue allowing you to enjoy yourself in their space, respect the person who's got their ass on the line (their name on the rental contract) so that you can have a place to have a good time and most of all respect yourself enough not to put yourself in a pool of your own vomit being taken to the hospital to get your stomach pumped. Lets hope this can be an isolated case, and lets hope the Fairfield Community Center as well as the other centers see this as the isolated case that it is. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 4:39pm | ||
| Rex User Info... | Yea that's what i'm worried about... there's gotta be a lot of liability shit surrounding something like that. Let's hope that one person's stupid actions don't prevent everyone from enjoying (what i think is) the best all ager venue in the city... props to all the bands, great job... looking forward to seeing a complete set from lythic... oh and is Al in the band now or what? cheers - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 4:49pm | ||
| Kris User Info... | Anyone who has that little control over what they are putting in their body is retarted. I know gustavson but sorry man thats just fucked up. I'm really sorry to hear that, and to ben and matt your posts are making our band sound like assholes so shut the fuck up. This show was fun but I headed out to watch Donnie Darko at home after Pushing Up Daisies. I missed twiceborn. I thought Pushing Up Daisies were excellent. I also really liked Black Tie Social. Keep up the good work. The show was all an all pretty fun. Security was a little to tight, I mean come on its not the pixies show, but I suppose what happened later in the night is only gonna make things tighter. I'm really sorry to hear that, think about what your doing. I'm not saying dont drink or anything cause I'm not a hypocrit but everyone has more responsibility inside them than that. Kris from the madd hatters. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 5:24pm | ||
| matty User Info... | ok kris, and rex and the others, i might have been a little gung ho about my props remark... the way i saw it was wow, some kid drank a letre of gin and is not dead! i mean, that is a feat... i didnt even think about the whole "all ages" no liquor part... shitty deal though... my next question, anyone get in touch with him after to know hows he's doin? and kris, not everyone has the responsability inside them, just look at you the night before... i just hope they dont shut that place down, i love shows there - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 5:54pm | ||
| ian too late User Info... | hey sorry to all who wanted to hear business at the front it was in our set but our 10 song set got cut down to five songs..and about the sounding different i dont kno wwhat to tell you felt the same hope you all enjoyed it regardless. we pulled out a lot of new songs we were gonna get to the older stuff but alas it was cut short no biggie - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 6:21pm | ||
| Madd Hatter User Info... | gusty(32oz) is allright, hes at home trying to sleep it off and no doubt nursing a headache to end all others. also for the record: kris has just brought it to my attention that neither the madd hatters nor i endorce drinking your face off. (at all ages shows) ben - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 7:04pm | ||
| matty User Info... | i know none of us do - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 7:15pm | ||
| Colin User Info... | Why is everyone freaking out about this kid drinking?? fuck, more kids should get boozed and see the shows , the governments(must be over 19)-is just another way to control, and a few people on these posts seem to be backing them up!!- WHERE DID ALL THE PUNKS GO?? - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 9:26pm | ||
| harry User Info... | What the fuck are you talking about Colin? and you claim to be the greatest at guitar? the thing is if this little shit got alcohol poisioning or truly fucked him/her-self then there would be hell to pay and where would all the kids go for their ska shows if the gary oak room were to be shut down. Also to whom ever said lythic blue put on the show....I think all goes to Andrea and Co, credit wise. I am glad to hear, however, that the drinking bastards were nice enough to pay and raise money for kids who are fucked over in lesser countries. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 10:08pm | ||
| Fred the Dragon User Info... | I know some people who work for the Fairfield Community Association (the people who rent out the GOR), and to be honest, you all better prepare to lose that venue. They were never very positive about having the rock bands in there to begin with, and this will most likely be the final nail in the coffin. They do just fine renting the space out to yoga instructors and whatnot. I hope all the people supporting the fuckwad who can't hold his booze are prepared to find a new all-ages venue in town. - Sun, 13 Jun 2004 11:35pm | ||
| YERMOMSMOM User Info... | I hope this kid gets what he deserves, which is to be banned from any all agers show. Cuz no bands should lose certain venues just because some kid dosen't know how to drink. I mean nobody cares if you have a few beers or having some shots, cuz thats just having fun at a local show, nothing wrong with that. But having 32oz of gin to yourself, and yer asking for it. Someone post a pic of this kid, so we know who to look for in local shows. Hopefully the GOR will still be open for local shows, but I even doubt that. - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 11:08am | ||
| Madd Hatter User Info... | after reading all your posts, i'm starting to agree that gusty fucked up. the gary oak room is one of the funest places to have concerts, we've played at a bunch of venues, but this place always draws a large and fun loving crowd. i hope the guys down at the community centre understand that this is for the most part an isolated incedent, while people drink all the time at all agers its very rare to see someone so smashed paramedics have to come. keep the gary oak room open... ben - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 2:48pm | ||
| hunter User Info... | I'm not mad at doctor drunk for spoiling the show... but how bout the "security nazi's" I saw them search some kid and when they found nothing on him the kicked him out anyway, How do you enjoy the show when theres a security lurker spreading hate? - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 3:46pm | ||
| Fuck User Info... | Just so everyone knows, I'm planning on going down to the Gary Oak Room sometime this week to talk with the people there. I've got some things I want to talk to them about. Here is also a statement I will be handing to the Gary Oak Room if they decide to not allow anymore all-agers at their facility. The reason I am giving this statement is because I personally believe in the fact that the situation was taken care of really well, and thus should make up for the fact that it even occurred. When he was found showing sings of intoxication we were able to get him out of the Gary Oak Room as quickly as possible. We did everything to keep him out until the appropriate action to take was decided. When the bottle he was drinking out of was found we decided to keep him in our sight as oppossed to letting him go on his own where he would be at risk of passing out and not being able to control himself or worse. After we were able to finally get him under control and sit him down on the curb we notified the police that we had an individual who was intoxicated and that he needed to get to a place where he could sobre up. We then made a smart choice to get him into a place where he would be out of the rain and be able to lay down until the police came to pick him up. Instead of getting a couple police officers we got a 10 man police/fire/ambulance team. We gave the officers the information we had on the individual and went out to seek for any other information we could gather on him and his activities. We found out information on him showing major signs of intoxication at around 8:15 pm. I did not know this but it turns out that the bottle was found by one of the security personal he gave it to the police for identification. The authorities left at around 11:15 pm. On behalf of the people who organzied the show we appreciate the help that we recieved from the many people who were not originaly involved with the show but yet decided to give a hand. This includes everyone from the people who told the individual to leave the inside of the building , to the people who helped get him inside. Hopefully Scott from Live Vic (Scott please give me a shout if you read this) will come down with me as well as everyone who put the show on and the other guys who did security along with me. Anyone who has something to say that may help convince the Gary Oak Room to not put an end to all-agers there anymore, should reply. Graham Kendall - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 3:53pm | ||
| Fuck User Info... | I'm sorry hunter but I don't remeber any of my guys kicking people out without having a really good reason like Mr. Gusty's. But still I don't even think we kicked out anyone other than Gusty. People were told to give up any alcohol or drugs that we found on them while they were on the grounds. If you can tell that person you are talking about to give me an email I would be happy to hear the story and figure out what happend. Sorry but personally I believe that security should have been tighter on people with alcohol and drugs. If its as easy to get in with a nalgene bottle full of gin then obviously we weren't tough enough. I know one of my guys went a little intense on people at one point but I told him to chill and he did. So dude if you can tell that person to give me a shout I'd really appreciate it. - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 4:05pm | ||
| lauren a User Info... | the 'security' was a joke. if you're going to have some form of it, hire a company or don't be so down right anal about it. you can't search kids' bags without good reason. "oh look! a backpack, there must be booze in it! let's search it." shows are supposed to fun and laid back. letting your mom run the door and some random some what 'intimidating' kid doing security is not the way to go. maybe check the actual fire limit before turning kids away. ugh, worst show ever. - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 4:25pm | ||
| Blackjack User Info... | lauren, what about the music? :( - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 4:38pm | ||
| lauren a User Info... | you guys were awesome as per usual. i don't like ska and we'll leave it at that (although i'm sure those who do like it, had a good time). black tie social were good. twiceborn were...hmm. yeah. alright. i'm not into all ages show as much as i was a while ago, i guess. - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 5:28pm | ||
| Brian VIHC User Info... | After reading this thread I called the FCC office and asked about the status of renting the Garry Oak Room for all-ages shows. The guy I talked with said that all current bookings for shows will likely be honored but he'd have to call me back about future bookings. (I have two bookings coming up there in July and August.) I had similar trouble last year with kids being extremely drunk outside the James Bay CC at a show I was putting on. (Some idiot was pissing on the front of the building, prompting all manner of complaints from neighbours.) After going in many times to talk to the staff and reassuring them I was willing and able to keep this kind of nonsense under control, they allowed me to continue putting on shows there. And there hasn't been any real trouble since. Hopefully it will go the same with Garry Oak. Oh and as for security, try going to a show like the one I went to in LA where the door guy made us empty our pockets and bags, then went over us with a metal detector! - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 5:37pm | ||
| Andrea User Info... | Lauren, we did comply to the actual fire limit (which is 150). The paper on the wall which says 250 is the fire limit for if you rent out the kitchen area as well, which we did not rent out. If we as promoters allow more people in than the fire limit, we can get in a lot of trouble and get fined huge amounts of money. We most definitely did not want to see the money we had raised for pediatric AIDS wasted in that way. If the Gary Oak Room sees anyone drinking or doing drugs on the property, the concert can be shut down right then; (and as you said this is supposed to be a fun event). We did not want that to happen, which is why we checked bags. I do agree with you on that one point that we should have had more security, and then perhaps the incident would not have happened. (Although our security did do an amazing job of handling it) Another thing, the point of the show was to raise money for AIDS and listen to some good music (both of which i feel were accomplished) I mean, the reason you go to a show if for the music, so how does a show's security make it the "worst show ever"? Andrea - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 5:49pm | ||
| matty User Info... | personally, i've seen tons of shows, and for victoria, that was good security... lets hope we dont have to do what Brian VIHC says LA does, and what its like to see shows in toronto etc. caus that shit blows and GOR is definity the best all ages venue in town, i mean no other venue gets kids who are that into the scene, its great as a musician to play there anyways, anything i can do to help the situation, i'm here to do -Matt - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 6:52pm | ||
| lauren a User Info... | you just wasted a reply telling me everything i already know. i just felt like everyone was really uptight and anal about everything is all. i went to the show to see lythic blue play (which didn't even happen) and sell their merch. no matter how much security you hire, stupid kids are always going to get drunk. i didn't mean to come off sounding really mean, i've just never been to a show like that before. - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 7:49pm | ||
| YERMOMSMOM User Info... | I thought the security was doing a good job, even though someone slipped through. Security guys are supposed to be hard asses of course, thats their job, to bust people doing the wrong thing. I actually couldn't care less if they checked every bag for drugs or alcohol, just to make sure people like this kid gets caught, and shows don't get shutdown. Im happy to hear though that the show was quite a success. I feel bad about Lythic Blue. But it seems that everyone had a bunch of fun anyways, which matters most. - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 9:18pm | ||

| The One After Two User Info... | It seems you people personally know him (Mr. 32oz.)... so just have a word with and tell him to stop coming around if thats how he'll be. - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 11:45pm | ||
| lauren a User Info... | i guess it's pretty contradictory to say that i plan on going to the show on the 19th eh? even if it is an all ages show, there are some bands i would like to check out. i love how everyone hates what i have to say on this board! aidan: when are you playing a show by yourself next? i was very impressed the last time you played. - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 1:40am | ||
| Graham User Info... | Andrea and I feel that Gusty should apologize to Lythic Blue for cutting their set short and ruining it for a lot of people. He should also apologize to the people who were there to see Lythic. I would hate it if he was talking at school as if he's the greatest person in the world for ruining the show for a lot of people. So Gusty, if you're out there, make an apology soon dude. It wasn't fair to the other other people what you did. Graham Kendall - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 7:51am | ||
| Kris User Info... | I know the guy sorta. I think he feels pretty bad about it. He's not really one to go to shows he just goes to my school so i dunno if we'll be seeing him around much at all agers anymore. He's probly pretty embarrassed so, i'm not saying what he did wasn't retarted because i'm super mad too but we should probly just lay off him and forgive and forget. I doubt you guys will ever hear of him again. Kris - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 8:34am | ||
| Graham User Info... | Just for the record, we (the security) were not hired. We volunteered to help out Andrea and Stephanie. - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 9:24am | ||
| [+} User Info... | lauren: possibly the 17th.. if the guy gets back to me on it. check out our full set on the 19th though, madame. i'm still not sure what we sounded like, all i know is that the keybord was way to loud. - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 2:44pm | ||
| Graham User Info... | Its decided I'm going down to the Gary Oak room tomorrow to ask to talk to the person in charge of the venue. I and the other people involved with the show will be letting them know what happened from our point of view. Hopefully all goes well. - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 2:49pm | ||
| hunter User Info... | hey graham (also known as "fuck")i dont know the kid who was getting kicked oput but theres definatley a problem when your security boots people out with no reasonable cause..... But I do definatley think there should be a security presence. One thing you could do but this can be difficult depending on circumstances but you can take a page out of the book from sidneys first show and a a mandadtory coat and bag check because you dont need a backpack to listen to music.. but this is just my opinion - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 3:31pm | ||
| Twisted User Info... | That was my first recomendation but because we were called on such a short notice, we couldn't plan it that well. We will definately look at doing that next time we do security for a show. - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 4:17pm | ||
| Brian VIHC User Info... | The FCC called me back today and all bookings that have already been made will be honoured. So John's show this weekend on the 19th, and my shows on July 23 and August 2nd will go ahead. They did say that security may be a concern so we'll have to be on our toes watching for idiocy. - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 5:41pm | ||
| hunter User Info... | woot woot brian.... once again doin it for the kids - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 6:49pm | ||
| Bubbles User Info... | Just goes to show how a little bit of shit will get people talking! - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 7:52pm | ||
| YERMOMSMOM User Info... | I still think someone should post a pic of this kid Gusty so we know who to look for in the drunken crouds in all agers. - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 9:04pm | ||
| Gare User Info... | Chris did NU metal turn you against drinking? *Cough* hypocrite *Cough* My two cents: Its all good unless you get to the point that buddy did, but hey it happens to everyone once or twice in their lives.. for me its been three times (damn vodka). Don't jump all over this kid, accidents happen. You know he didn't plan the trip to the emergency room, what can ya say he was trying to have a good time but his eyes were bigger then his liver. - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 11:21pm | ||
| chris User Info... | please i hate the word nu metal nu isnt even a word.so if you hate the music we love to play thats kool but please dont use words that dont exists to describe it .there you go to all the fucking 30 year old english teachers on this board. - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 7:51am | ||
| Gare User Info... | Woah talk to your drummer. He is spittin out Nu like there is no tomorrow - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 9:07am | ||
| lauren a User Info... | aidan: i shall be there. and yes the keys were too loud but other than that, very good. - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 10:02am | ||
| YERMOMSMOM User Info... | I just don't think we should lose a venue cuz of some drunken idiot gare. And yes gare my music turned me against drinking. Drumming wise, Metal is ten times more technical than ska, and I need all the concentration I can get. Getting drunk and not getting anything done at band practice was the Hoochy's priority, not mine. - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 12:42pm | ||
| Twisted User Info... | We didn't lose the venue!!!!!!!!!! We're still god with GOR. I talked to them with our security and Andrea, and it looks like they're gonna make a few changes to how they book the venue but no huge changes. Gary Oak Room is still a place the live victoria scene can use. - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 3:52pm | ||
| Gare User Info... | "Getting drunk and not getting anything done at band practice was the Hoochy's priority, not mine" say what? left field ya say? P.S. I may listen to lots of ska but even I know Limp Bizkit isn't metal. NU NU NU NU NU it is not. Oh and your proctologist called he says he can remove that stick on Friday! - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 4:23pm | ||
| YERMOMSMOM User Info... | Oh what a coincidence your proctologist phoned too. He said he was sorry about sticking his fingers down your throat. - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 4:36pm | ||
| Mark Wallace (Bass Hoochy) User Info... | Shockingly, I dont think we've had a drunken band practice for about a year. Thanks for bringing that to my attention chris, I'll get on it right away. - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 4:40pm | ||
| Gare User Info... | "I need all the concentration I can get" Your preaching to the choir, take some riddlin you nut job. P.S. your come backs have improved! - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 5:01pm | ||
| Kris North User Info... | Anyone who makes a post about spelling "new" correctly and than spells "kool" in the same post kicks more ass than something that kicks alot of ass. Congratulations, you have officially gone back one year in grade school. - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 5:26pm | ||
| YERMOMSMOM User Info... | Meh if I took riddlin I would become an emo drummer. - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 5:31pm | ||
| ian too late User Info... | hey gare did i mention that i love you - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 7:16pm | ||
| my cock, your mouth User Info... | That ska calouchie "Gare" and that fool drummer from twiceborn should be nicer to one another when it comes to thier musical preference, cause ska and nu-metal have lots in common. For example, both are for fucking geeks. - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 9:03pm | ||
| Carl User Info... | Gare you sexy motherfucker.. I agree Nu-metal and ska are for geeks, and yes it is "NU" metal, if you call it metal you are just insulting some talented real metal bands. i also don't think that the kid should have a vigilantee posee come after him.. People make mistakes, like Gare said.. let it go. - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 9:16pm | ||
| Mark Wallace (Bass Hoochy) User Info... | geeks rule - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 9:48pm | ||
| brad User Info... | "Getting drunk and not getting anything done at band practice was the Hoochy's priority, not mine." SWEET!!...hey Hoochy's...can I come and jam with you dudes sometime? - Wed, 16 Jun 2004 11:13pm | ||
| Mark Wallace (Bass Hoochy) User Info... | we'd have to initiate you, and that can get messy - Thu, 17 Jun 2004 4:29pm | ||
| chris User Info... | guys shut the fuck up about this so called nu metal i dont care what you think of our band we sound nothing like limp bizkit so fuck you if i like them thats my decision so go fuck yourself any band you listen to isnt real metal what i listen to is so fuck off see how stupid we all sound to you guys it isnt about the music anymore its about who to hate next your worse than the tablods and when i post and yuou know im right you will find anything to hate on like for this you will probably say what the fuck learn how to spell or use puntuation or whoa run on sentences well this is a message board about music not about your stupid bullshit so if you cant beat emm join emm i hate all the band you listen to you listen to speed metal shit that anyone could play so fuck off you media hating bastards - Thu, 17 Jun 2004 10:58pm | ||
| [+} User Info... | no diss intended.. but i'd love to see Twiceborn play a cover of Sinergy's "Spit on Your Grave". I know it's only in 4/4 and maybe a little over 120BPM but man that guitar solo break.. yeah right. - Fri, 18 Jun 2004 10:19am | ||
| Mark Wallace (Bass Hoochy) User Info... | Did you just call proper grammar "stupid bullshit?" - Fri, 18 Jun 2004 6:43pm | ||

| ScottL User Info... | I can't play speed metal =( - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 12:05am | ||
| lonemonk User Info... | Pretty sad career that young lad is working on right now. I know I'm nit-picking now, but how did people come up with '32' ounces of Gin? seems pretty specific. (not to mention LARGE) I hate the smell of Juniper berries, so I'm pretty sure 1 ounce would make me go ballistic. I hope the organizers can assure the GOR keepers that this was isolated. It is a good venue after all. - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 12:47am | ||
| misfit User Info... | Twiceborn are soo 1996...not quite time for a comeback..and as for the "speed metal" "anyone" can play...I remember your fool of a drummer doing his "guys, i'm metal" solo shit, and seriously fucing up a simple blast beat...clearly not "anyone" can pull it off. - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 12:49am | ||
| chris User Info... | alright you got obviosley not everyone can play speed metal or they wouldi was being an ass i love metal i love music peroid.and i am really tired of all the hating i really just want to play music and love doing it thats all if you all want to hate thats kool i never once said i was good so aidan im going to download that song and learn the solo just for you because i have heard it before and i dont think it is impossable i am up for the challenge so all the people who dont know me keep hating and i will keep playing thank you all - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 11:04am | ||
| ScottL User Info... | Chris: I'm nost trying to insult you, your band or flame you in any way, I am just curious. Why no punctuation and no capitals? I've been wondering for a long time. Again, just curious. - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 12:21pm | ||
| YERMOMSMOM User Info... | Ya misfit, I wasn't impressed with my solo that night, hopefully you can check out my solo tonite. - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 1:46pm | ||
