Alright here it is... I'm in a band... fairly new... nobody knows about us. I'm POSITIVE there's bands here in Vic who wanna play shows but just aren't connected. So here's the plan...frontmen/frontwomen of rock style bands SEND ME AN EMAIL!...between maybe 3-4 bands we'll do all we can to get a show for March...all ager, bar show, whatever...we'll do it! gimmie a shout! I will NOT ask whether you can bring in a big crowd or not...or whether your band's even any good... Doesn't matter. This is ONLY about working together to start shit.

Hey again,

I have just been informed that apparently I'm doing some Acoustic guitar shit for some half assed demo on thursday afternoon. So maybe we should just sort this shit out minus the official meeting.

Here's the first issue: If I get us a venue (say big ferny or gary oak room) on some day early in april or late in march can i count on you bands to pitch in for the cost? - Wed, 1 Mar 2006 12:29am

Hey, Hollydene would be in. I agree with Spence in that we should meet up and talk over the details though (or do it on here, whatever works).

Sorry about the total lack of progress on this thread guys...I had a couple midterms this week and various other crap eatin up my time.

HENCE, THE NOVEL BELOW

So far the plan's lookin like this: Garry oak room, before i book it we need to discuss everyone's scheduling because i know some of you will have to miss it unless it's timed right, and that'd be a shame. Oh yea and the sharing of profit (assuming this gig makes a profit) goes without saying!

Spencer of the burbs is tryin to swing a sweet deal on a saweeet system for this show...I'll let him give the details when he's good and ready.

Black light district: You're welcome to join the bill...just understand that if there's too small a time for us to cram in all these bands it'll be last in first out.

IN SUM: if I'm correct the bill so far is Hollydene, the burbs, blindeye, black light district, and me n the boys of trickster. The date will likely be the second weekend in april assuming our majority doesnt push for a sooner date.

consider the time it takes for promoting a show...and then tell me cuz i have no idea. lol

dont be scared to post and communicate with me and each other!! LET'S GET SOME DIALOGUE GOIN HERE PEOPLE!!!

peace,

Hey man. This sounds good. We can start to promote two weeks before the show. I'll try to get some gig posters together maybe. lol

Yeah, this all sounds good to us too. We would be glad to make up some posters and promote the hell out of it too. Starting pretty quick wouldn't hurt, maybe in the next week or two? As for scheduling we are pretty easy going. We have finals towards the end of April, but the second weekend should be clear. Finally, if anyone else is still up for a meeting, beers etc. We would be game. Not even so much for the technicalities, but just to meet the other bands like Mike was suggesting before. Well that about covers it, we're looking forward to the show.

Hey. Everything sounds good to us. We could promote like crazy on uvic campus and I could go down to the campus radio station and ask them to promote it as well. We'd also be down for helping to make posters/handbills etc.. second week of april would be good for us too. I'm really stoked about this and like mike said we should meet up. 8821918 is my cell if anyone wants to get a hold of me directly.
