we were supposed to play (last night) in courtenay with the hoochy girls, trikturner and run chico run. our band (social few) drove from sidney, all the way there and it took us a hell of a lot of gas $$$ and time and effort to get what little gear we could into our vehicle. we were told to just bring guitars because we could use drums and amps that other bands would lend us. so we drove all day in a crowded toyota tercel, checked into a hotel, bought a shitload of beer and went to the venue. hoochy girls were there,and they were more than happy to lend us their amps. they needed a drum kit too. and then trick turner showed up, they had drums (that we were supposed to use) but the drummer said that nobody is touching his kit or they will get beat down. so he fucks off for like an hour and a half. run chico run never even shows up, so us and the hoochies are sitting there waiting while the organizers frantically tried to find a kit, no luck and since the place was filled with kids who had paid to see a show the hoochies just used the kit. everything was goin rad during their set, kids were dancing and they put on a good show, then the drummer gets back and sees that they are using his kit, and just fucking looses it! he tried to stop their set but everyone basically told him he was fucking full of shit. so the hoochies finished their set.
this guy then proceeds to threaten the hoochies drummer (which was pretty stupid cuz both the hoochies and our guy were ready to beat this fuck into the ground.) and get his set ready for their show. we asked him if we could use it for our set and after alot of begging and bargaining (which is bullshit, bands know that everybody's gotta share their shit) he agreed that we could use it.
but wait it gets fucking crazier. the guitarist in trik turner blows his amp in literally the first note of their first song, and they just start to pack up everything. we asked him what the hell he was doing and he said that he was just leaving to get another drumset for us, (which was bullshit, again) and then they just jumped into a car, yelled and swore at us and all the kids who paid money to see them and that was it.
so what im trying to say that in all the years of playing shows i have never seen someone act so selfish and thoughtless. we spent like 200$ to get up island for hotel gas and food, and we didn't even get to set up what gear we had. these guys don't know what the hell they are doing, even if you dont like a band yer playing with, through common courtesy you share gear and just try to help out in any way you can. TRICK TURNER DID NOT, so do everyone who was at the show last night and email these guys and tell them how lame that was. please we wanna spread the word about these guys. im seriously pissed off at this fuck. the other guys in the band didn't do anything do piss me off but still they just let the drummer act like a jerk. thanks fer hearing me out, help us out now. - Sat, 22 Mar 2003 7:08pm

you have no right to bitch at all. you and the hoochy girls were way out of line, and he had every right to be pissed off at you, no matter what misinformation the promoter gave you about the drum kit situation, it wasn't that guys problem.
you don't use someone elses gear without their permission, period. you had absolutely no right whatsoever. Most guys probably would've lended their gear, I know our drummer would, but the guy owns the kit, not you, it's his call, end of story. - Sat, 22 Mar 2003 9:47pm

always bring yer own gear
never trust the gig oragnizers either when they say you can use others stuff
if you bring yer own gear and then others let you use thiers ...then you dont have to set it up do ya?
also you need a truck or a van or access to one if ya wanna play gigs!
dont be all hokey about it.....do what ya need to get the gig played....simple huh?

Anonymous im torn here..first you say that the drummer from trick turner says no way to anyone touching his kit, then you guys just set it up anyway while he's not there? i would have fucking lost it on you...granted the guy sounds like a total asshole..but it is in no-way his responsability or obligation to have his gear used for the show...did you ever think of getting in touch with him prior to the show to confirm? If i showed up to a gig and two bands were sitting there expecting to use my gear without any prior knowledge...i would be choked. so then he finally agrees to let you guys use his kit....after much grovelling im sure..then packs it up and leaves mid set...ok this is majorly week...and deserving of 20 lashes! doesn't sound like these guys are into making many friends.... lesson learned here? you must be responsible for your own gear..don't just expect someone you don't know to willingly hand over there gear which they have to pay for if you brake something. oh and by the way..why the hell would you spend $ on a hotel? ..ever heard of crashing on someones floor? how much cash was this gig going to pay you anyways? - Sun, 23 Mar 2003 11:15am

im just bummed we didn't get to play the show, i understand that the guy was choked that someone jacked his kit, but with no fingers pointed, someone (not us or the hoochies) decided to use the kit, we didn't even touch it. but out of everyone at that show, we got fucked hardcore. im just pissed that we got screwed, and the show almost turned into a brawl between bands, all we wanted to do was play. well it's a learning expirience for all, and if anyone ever needs to use our gear during a show, just ask. well rock on kiddos. peace - Sun, 23 Mar 2003 3:35pm
SweetGrass It amazes me that on this island of limited venues, a band thinks its o.k. to not show respect when shit happens. Shit will always happen and we all aadapt under pressure in different ways. Note for future...ALWAYS talk to the bands personally about sharing. We don't know this drummer's history and what could have happened to him and his gear, so save hastles by never trusting promoters etc. and ask ahead of time to save shitty nights like this from happening. Did you guys get paid anything??? What was the name of the promoter. - Sun, 23 Mar 2003 4:06pm
brad i totally disagree with the comment that courtney sucks for people and shows...i played in a band there ten years ago and the place went off!! we sold out of all our merch. and the kids were super cool and really got into it, the place was packed (filberg center?). ive since heard from different people in different bands that had similiar experiences in the last couple of years. id honestly have to say that ive probably witnessed way better all ages shows up island than i have here in victoria....and i live in vic now. - Sun, 23 Mar 2003 5:09pm

Ok this is starting to get lame. We dont lend out our equipment and i made sure it was known weeks before hand. Its the promoters fault. He was only like 15 years old. My appologies to the band who didnt get to play. Adam can be a jerkoff sometimes, but he's still my belovid drummer and bro, so I'll always stand up for him. Besides, he had a right to be pissed. Maybee not to such an extent, but still. We dont care if anyone has a problem with us. We are not in this game to become famous, or make money, but we are in a band to play music and have a good time and THATS IT!!! No matter what happens, we always end up having a good time. So to everyone who hates us, we just want you to know, we are still having a blast as a band and no one can ever take that away from us. So HA!!! And we will always get pissed off when someone touches our shit without permission. You think its not right???, well fuck you. Go buy your own $3000 Marshall Amp and see how many people you will let use it. Same goes for all our equipment. You ask us before hand.... then under the right circumstances, yes we will hook you up. My Amp fuse blew at the beggining of our set, and our bassist wasn't even there, so we said fuck it. We had another show to play that night anyways. But i guess we can be happy that everyone is talking bout us now. Life goes on, chill and remember to have fun. TTBC - Sun, 23 Mar 2003 6:50pm

Wow, I think both sides here are idiots. If I walked in and someone was using my drum set after I told them not to, I would beat them senseless right there whether they were in the middle of their set or not. On the other hand I would never in a million years not let the other guys use my drums if they had none and there was a show to play. Way to be a total prick. On another note I would never show up without my own drum set either. As far as threatening to stab the guy goes, well if it was me I'd hunt you down with a tire iron for saying that. Good move there tough guy, you should probably be careful who you say stuff like that to cause someone will call you on it and when it's all over you'll probably be picking your teeth up off the sidewalk. As far as Courtney goes I've played a few shows up there over the years and have always had a great time. Guess it pays to be a little more professional about the way you deal with shows huh. Bring your own gear, dont try to fight everyone else on the bill, and dont walk around with your head up your ass acting like a rock star. - Sun, 23 Mar 2003 9:21pm

Never trust the promoter and *always* bring your gear.

Hmmmm. This is an interesting thread. While on tour with the Show Biz Giants this past WEEK we played in Canmore with a band called "Outright Defiance" in support. They begged us to move all our gear off the stage (a real hassle coz we have tons, but, hey, no problem) and then proceeded to use our bassist's rig without asking. When we started our set (after NOT watching them) we got into the first song only to discover the bass rig turned up to 11 and all the settings changed radically. It damn near blew the whole thing sky high which would have made the whole tour kaputski. To further add to the amusement, these clowns left their bass behind. So what did we do? No we didn't take their bass and pawn it (didn't have room in the van), we phoned them and told them their bass was at the club (actually we got the bar to do it). And we told them that they should ask next time. - Mon, 24 Mar 2003 1:06am

Anonymous whenever I hear the words, "we were told we could..." I always cringe. Unless the band themselves told you explicitly, you ain't using SHIT! I can't tell you how many times we've pulled into town to play a show and found out that the promoter has been telling the local opening band that it's ok to use our drums, or our amps, or whatever. Fuck that, I didn't pay for my gear, pay for my van, drive ??? hours and spend $$$ on gas just so some local noob who had his mom drop him off at the show can use my shiat. And holy fuck, if I came upon some kid using my stuff after I specifically said no deal...somebody would definitely be a hurting unit shortly thereafter. - Mon, 24 Mar 2003 12:51pm

Anonymous Sounds like someone was to blame up in Courtney for telling people they could use the drums.

I love sharing my drums with other bands. Kinda adds to the whole "we're doing a show together" spirit thing... not to mention if I can use someone else's kit and not have to move mine to a show I'm one happy drummer. So when I can return the favour I do.

I remember doing a show at the Limit (I think) and this band from Van was headlining (forget their name). They showed up late, and had almost no gear with them. Don't really remember why but I think someone (other than them) screwed up somewhere... but the drummer had no kit. He asked if he could use mine and I was certainly glad to help out. I play fairly hard but holy shit this guy was fucking MEAN to my drums! He beat the shit out of them and I wasn't sure they would make it through the set. They did of course... they are drums, meant to be hit :)

My opinion on drummer gear is you should always be willing to share at a show, unless you're some super band or something. We're mostly all local musicians and should be trying to help each other out when we can.

I would go as far out of my way as possible to make sure a band on the bill got to play.

I can understand guitar dudes not wanting to share heads since their gear has knobs and shit. My drums don't.

Yeah you should come prepared, but hey, when shit gets fucked up at a show, help each other out! - Mon, 24 Mar 2003 6:57pm
Anonymous ive had people play my drums that play even harder than me, or don't quite play all that well, and the skins show it. there are massive dents here and there...my skins should wear in about a 4" spot (i hit almost the same spot every time) and other people playing them don't , it also adds to wear and tear on the cymbals etc. i definately have let people use my kit at shows...but i always like to be asked before hand..that way i don't feel put on the spot at the show, and feeling like a totally asshole if i really don't want anyone to use them...this usually happens with people i know nothing about; - Mon, 24 Mar 2003 8:12pm

I'll let the mighty John Wright be an example for you guys. Now if anyone has a right to say no it's Johnny; his drum set up is unique and hard to play if you aren't adaptable, but on our last tour at least 5 different bands asked to use his drums. His answer was sure, provided they didn't change all the heights and angles etc. thus causing an entire re-set-up of the kit. Minor adjustments were OK and the guys were asked to try to return everything to at least as close as possible to original. However when the band phoned up in Calgary, who weren't on the bill or poster and asked to use the band's entire backline we said no; my guitar amp is 30 years old as is my cab and we had shoehorned a five piece band onto a three piece stage with insane difficulty. A good rule of thumb is to offer to bring all your own gear and then ask if it's OK to use the other band's gear to ease the logistic problems; often that does the trick. If I think a band is doing it just because they're too lazy to bring their own gear I'm likely to say no. Also it's a good idea to assure everyone that if you break something (say a cymbal) you'll replace it. I've seen numerous occasions where a drummer begs and pleads to use a kit and then proceeds to demolish it. - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 1:56pm

I've never showed up without my own drums, unless I was told by another drummer on the bill that we would share gear. Then I still brought my own cymbals, snare and bass pedal. I also have never asked that question unless it was a really good friend of mine. It's all fine and dandy to bitch about other people but this show could of worked fine if everyone had of just looked out for themselves. - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 10:15pm

Anonymous so what? the other bands were told they could use Tricks kit. Thats their fault? just because they didnt bring a kit means its ok for that dude to threaten a 16 year old and threaten to stab the rest of the bands? - Tue, 1 Apr 2003 12:21am
Anonymous That's unfornate things didn't work out on that show. Technically the Hoochy Girls should not have used the drummer's gear especially after he had hesitated on the night of the show (although he may have confirmed before hand)however, it would have been nice of him to let things happen in the spirit of the show. Bands should be on the same team especially when it's at the crunch. Differences and unprofessionalisms should be worked out afterwards. Compensation and/or collateral of equal value to the drum kit (as close of possible) should have and could have been negotiated when the hesitation occured from the drummer with the gear. Then close inspection of the gear after the show would be in order to detect any damages. That may have been a better option.

The promoter was evidently both young and inexperienced. He or she should have made provisions for getting a back-line for the band without the gear or the Hoochy Girls should have requested the fee for playing to include such an expense for drum kit rental. Then the promoter should have been sternly spoken to after the show and perhaps could have also offered monetary compensation if necessary.

However, the spirit of the show should be attempted to be maintained as much as possible.It hurts the credibility of all those involved even if it wasn't specifically an individual or a group's fault. Remember with these gigs the aim is for unity and not separation. - Tue, 1 Apr 2003 2:01pm

Nope that isn't what I meant and if you'd just take a moment to think about it you'd see that. I think you should always make sure that your own ass is covered. It's your own job to make sure that you have the equipment to play a show. I always let people use my drums when they ask, so I definitely am nothing like that little dipshit threatening to stab people...... what an idiot. On the other hand, if I walked in and people were using my drums after I said no. Well, someone would probably be getting a punch in the nose. Drums generally speaking are at least two grand for a kit, so it's understandable if someone doesnt want other people to touch them. But there are ways to deal with situations and it sounds to me like everyone involved dealt with it wrong. - Tue, 1 Apr 2003 7:01pm

Story worth learning Band: Moneyshot

Situation: Showing up at Thursdays to talk to owner

Problem: Extreme metal band from Toronto sitting in bar with no gear

Gear?: Stuck in Tsawassen, its 930pm.

Club: people showing up now, want to see the bands

Promoter: "Please someone help me get gear! At least one of the 3 bands could play tonight!"

Moneyshot: "No problem, we will now drive all the way to our jamspot, load all our gear ( amps, cabs, drums etc ) and we will then haul all our gear back to Thursdays for some band we have never heard of, who are extreme metal and will beat on our drums, and crank our amps to 11, and then we will sit through the duration of a weekday show, and then we will load all our gear up and load it back to our jamspot, all for free, all for a band we do not know, that plays a style of music completely and utterly different than our own, all because one of our guys JUST HAPPENED to be in the bar when the promoter had his dilemna."

Adrenaline Animal Actually, I probably wouldn't of loaned my drums out that night @ thursdays, but I met the band (blood of christ) and could tell that they were a professinal band that knew how to play, and respect our gear. The same thing has happened to me in the past, sometimes I say NO, I've had some bands that we've played with on tour end up breaking parts of my drums, and then not pay for the damage that they had done. So I guess with me , I have to meet the drummer, but bottom line I don't like lending out my drums, but I will in certain cases, but only IF YOU ASK ME PERSONALLY!

And about that blood of christ show at thursdays, man I never knew that our gear could play such evil music! - Thu, 3 Apr 2003 2:29am
Zaner@tim. Jer, you da man, man. That's seriously going above and beyond "supporting the scene", that's just downright self-less. Here's another example of the kind of guys Moneyshot are..Moneyshot came over to Langley to play the Spawner 7 year anniversary and cd release party for tim. and Complete on a Friday night. They left with $150 and on the following Sunday tim. and Complete were in Victoria at the Soundgarden (we weren't gonna come cause our Saturday show fell through, and one show on the island just isn't worth it, but...it was booked, so we came). As is somewhat typical for the venue from what I hear, we didn't get paid SHIT (no draw, out of town, can't promote, Sunday night..blah blah)....anyways...Moneyshot felt bad and gave us their $150 still in the same envelope from Friday night. Now how cool is that?

Hey I didn't get to talk to you after your show @ Studebakers with LOR, but good work..you guys were tight and you in particular were solid baby! You moneyshot dudes sing like girls, but you don't have the racks like LOR does, sorry but it's true. - Thu, 3 Apr 2003 10:17am

Pastercrack is a typical internet message board user/troll. His life is so completely void of anything positive so he needs to down on others to make himself feel better. Fortunately some of us understand what he is...a sad lil man that never leaves the house and needs to come here for interaction, whether it be bad or good. Methinks it's time for a lil vacation at the EMP for you Pastercrack. - Thu, 3 Apr 2003 10:39am
Curious George Blah blah blah... you guys all bitch too much. If Pasternak is pissing you off, just fucking ignore him! Why do you buy into his stupid little games? He's just trying to get a rise out of you all! And it worked! So bravo, Pasternak. Now fuck off. - Thu, 3 Apr 2003 8:34pm
RSBF is Pasternak actually Bill Me Later in a new life form?

Pasternak, i will tell you this: aahahahahaaa, your 'comeback' sucked. grab a dictionary and get creative you brainless wonder. or, perhaps Wreaker or Mr. Hell will give you 'wit' lessons for a price. either way you're weak........... damn weak. - Thu, 3 Apr 2003 8:44pm

For the record we didn't want to just up and start using the guy's kit, we were talking with the promoter the entire way through this, and we told him that we didn't want to go and set up a guy's kit that told us not to. If the promoter "found" a kit for us to use, then we'd use it. Our drummer did bring his own snare, kick pedal, cymbals, etc. Obviously we would have preferred play than not play, but in the end it was the promoter's decision to set up a kit, not ours. - Sat, 5 Apr 2003 4:48am

All you guys seem to be missing the point here... Not trying to act like a parent but wholey shit! grow up, you were playing in front of a group a young children who I'm sure were also dissapointed with the outcome, but not only did you act like selfish asses (drummer of trick turner) but your supposed to be rolemodels for kids this young. Yeah playing in a band is about having fun and playing for the love of music but also for the people who come out and support you, and you dissregaurded all of those things. I hope you feel great about what you did and if you do... you know nothing about playing music or being in a band. - Sun, 6 Apr 2003 5:12pm
Anonymous fuck off...these kids aren't supposed to be role models for anybody...i don't think the people that go to all ages shows really care enough about the bands playing to actually look up to them....not at this level. - Sun, 6 Apr 2003 5:50pm
asshole I saw trick turner in victoria at Shortfalls Cd release party at soundgarden. They ripped it up. Laggin on the stage performance, but overall, good musicians with some kick-ass fast tunes. Everyone needs to quits bitching about shit. Ya I'm sure the kids were mad, but who cares?? If someone used my drum kit without asking, fuck them. Id be pissed and leave too. As far as I know, their guitarist blew the fuse in his amp first note, and their bassist wasn't even there. I think they just said fuck it and left. And their drummer wasn't threating to stab people. Holy shit. Get you fact strait. That never happened. The same night as that show, I went to a house party at some Rob guys house, and trick turner showed up at around 11 pm to play for the people there. They told me aside from the amp blowing and bassist not being there, they didn't want to wait for some band they never heard of to use their shit, cause they had another gig same night. Who fucking cares about that show. So what, shit didn't work out. Tough. The promoters need to get their shit together and figure these things out. So anyways, thoes trick turner guys are ok dudes, just dont fuck with their equipment and you probobly wont have a problem. Babies - Sun, 6 Apr 2003 6:04pm

Hey Trickturner are actually pretty good. Aggressive hardcore punk, not bad for a bunch of teenagers. Played with 'em last summer and they impressed me good. Give them a chance man...MANNN>>>>>>> - Sun, 6 Apr 2003 7:02pm
Anonymous I remember a Gallow's end show it was the first one they had i am pretty sure. One of the Gallow's end guitar players broke a string that he needed and could not play some of the songs with out it. There was some sort of mix up about the extra guitar and strings not making it up, i don't know the details, but there was two other bands playing and neither of them would lend him a guitar so he could finish the set. I dont think he played any more songs that night but the band kept on going. I know that people are pretty protective of their equipment, but they were in the middle of a set, its their first show, and not one of the other four guitar players would lend him a guitar. I thought that was pretty bad from on the other bands parts. heck, one of the bands even brought a back up. this also happened up island. bad luck or unchivilarous up islander bands? - Sun, 6 Apr 2003 8:53pm
trickturnerbcMOFO sure the fuck wasn't us. If a band needed shit and asked us then fuck ya, we would hook them up for sure. Its when people set up our shit without asking and use it we get pissed off. Just to let evryone know, that if it happens again, we will probobly get violent. What you don't like it???, Well fuck you then. We don't give a fuck. That is just the way it is. Sorry again to the hoochie girls and thaqt other band who cam up for that show. We know it wasn't your idea to use our stuff. The promoter was just some little kid, didn't have things organized.

And Ross Bay, Thanx a lot man. I thought you guys ripped it up too at that parksville show. Loved the Slayer cover. WORD. I'm getting sick of people saying this and that about our band. Ya, we are a bunch of assholes when people fuck with our drummers $3000 kit or my $3000 amp. We dont care about loosing a selected crowd of people. Fuck you, we don't want you comming to our shows and listening to our music anyways. We play for fun and thats it. Fuck getting signed or being a rockstarr. PeaCe - Sun, 6 Apr 2003 9:50pm

rylan haha that was fucking rad. I love bands with attitudes. All this emo shit is starting to piss me off anyways. Anyone remember when punk shows used to be good fun?? People drinking, and the kids actually were moshing??? What the fuck happened??? - Sun, 6 Apr 2003 10:00pm
King Meat The show in nanaimo with my Gallow's bitches. They played with seasons of sorrow and gross misconduct, also in all fairness one of the bands tried to lend him a string but it wouldn't fit. - Sun, 6 Apr 2003 10:13pm
