| Jeff From the Perish User Info... | whatever dude. Another random poke at us with nothing to back it. What I mean by that is. You showed up at 9:40. You walked right past the ticket booth, past the girl at the door, like some arrogant prick, and walked into the show without paying. I saw you. you leaned up against the back bar for a good 26 seconds before your ass got thrown out by a girl for not paying. How low can ya go. Sneak in without paying to our show so you could come on here and slag us. The door girls said she knew she was going to have a problem with you as soon as she laid eyes on you coming up the stairs. She said you looked like a creep and reaked of sleez-ball. The other girl was phone in hand ready to call the police if you didn't leave peacefully. We got it on film from 4 angles, and there were signs posted saying that perish productions was filming and that we have the right to use any film shot. So..... looks like you'll be on our next DVD with your tacky blue shirt and scruffy beard. So..... since you were there for maybe 25 seconds before you got thrown out.... ( which was quite funny ) and we were only four songs into our set.... You couldn't possibly know how things were rockin' by 11:00p.m. or how we sounded at all. You heard 5 chords at best before a door girl threw you out. Dude. even for you. Seriously low. We had a great time, and we had really good sound thanks to KC at long and mcquades doing the sound for us. We were happy with 74 people for the night considering there were some amazing shows in town on stage at the same time. Sly and the family stone were at the Royal, Fintroll, super huge band were at sugar, and I don't know what place but there was a really good Doors cover band in town too. There were also dozens of good local acts playing too, and all those shows had alcohol except for ours. It was all ages. Apparently lots of people were coming in and leaving when they found out the bar was closed. We have a young fan base so we like the all ages shows, but we promise our next one will be for alcohol consuming crowd. Maybe at sugar or something. Also, one of the mangagers at the VEC said he's NEVER seen a band pull people in off the street like we did last night. People were even peeking around the corner trying to see in because they heard us out on the street and came in to ask what was going on and who we were. We also sold quite a few DVDs and CDs so were are quite happy with the show. And so were those people that paid to get in and actually watched the show. So... there you have it. Another success for Perish Productions. We're all smiles ! see you all at the next show ! ROCK ON VICTORIA !!! - Sun, 7 Sep 2008 1:39pm | ||

| Jeff From the Perish User Info... | Jeff Noyes from the Perish knows everyone, even if they think he doesn't. hey everyone. First I'd like to say thanks to KC at long and Maquades for doing an awsome job on the PA for us last night. It sounded great and it was a tough room to get right. Thanks to Andy, the door girls and Amanda at the VEC. Great people to work with. Thank you to Shane Steinke ( The Wobble Tree ) for an amazing acoustic set. Everyone should check out his work on myspace ! Thanks to all the people that bought tickets and DVDs and CDs. Thanks to all the people who helped promote our show and do posters. Thank you Denise and Darcy, couldn't have done it without you. Darcy was the cheese last night. And a damn good one too. As for the comments. I actually do own a beat up van, and I have driven across this country plenty of times doing shows everywhere. I actually started out in Ontario and played in several decent bands out there. I have been gigging since I was 14, and I'm 32 now. I do try my best to get out of the bubble but it's hard. I have had licencing deals and other offers. I even do voice-overs and try to get music on things like video games and documentarys. I have been working my ass off for 18 years at this. We spend a lot of money doing what we do.... and sometimes we don't make it all back... yet we do it again anyways. I've seen interviews with the greatest bands on earth telling there stories of how before they were big, they were playing for kraft-dinner and a jug of beer.... to an empty room. Which brings me to my next point. The fact that we aren't pulling in thousands yet, is no reason for us to stop believing in ourselves and trying our best to MAKE that happen. And ego ? really ? I think EVERYONE who actaully meets me and shakes my hand.... finds out pretty quick that I'm a hell of a nice guy, I work hard, I help other musicians constantly, I don't suck that bad at guitar or singing, I do my best to promote other cool bands and I DON'T have an ego at all. Defending myself when being slagged is not considered a big ego. And supportive ?? I am probably one of the MOST supportive people on the scene. I don't drink and I don't live in Vitoria, so I do miss a lot of pub shows. However... I can remember Zappnin black playing at steamers in 2003. Me, my girlfriend , and two of our friends came to that show. At the beginning of there set, we sat right up front when no one else was there yet, and cheered and yelled after every song. then the rest of the room starting filling up and following our lead with the loud cheers between songs. Also bought their CD and still have it in my colllection. I remember seeing Jets Overhead open for Big Wreck at Legends back when they were called The Special Guests. No one was there. My and my girlfriend went right up front of the dance floor and stood there and cheered and yelled. Because I know what it's like to play to an empty room, or a room with people all at the back and no one wants to be the first to step up front on the big open empty dance floor. There was still no one there for Big Wreck even. When they came out Ian yelled in the mic.... " Where the hell is everybody ? " but by the time they were 3/4 finished the show, it was filling up. That happens all the time. Anyone out there in a band playing and not sitting here alllllllllllll day slagging others knows what I'm talking about. People say shit about me, but only the one's who have NEVER actually met me and got a feel for what I'm like at all. As for counting heartbeats, I agree. They are doing very well for themselves. A friend of mine mentioned them last night. He said he's friends with them and that we should do a show with them. I always am curtious enough to check out other peoples music. And I'm always willing to admit there's room for improvement. This is art. We get better as we go along. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. If I said I'm working a deal, then it's true. I know some people expect us to fulfill our goals all in one month or something, but it doesn't work that way. You need to grind your face up against the wall until you find a way to ooze through it. And we've been doing that for years. And won't stop even when slaggers tell us to. I think too that people forget we had no bass player for a while and I lost a year and a half in a battle with my thyroid gland. Glad to have my health back. We only acquired Devon on Bass in February and he worked so hard we had a 2 1/2 set ready to go, with great new orriginals in it within one month. Bruce has been playing longer than me. We all are working our asses off for our dreams. Because that's what it takes. Only quiters quit.... and we're not quitting. We ARE doing a full Canadian tour in the spring, and we ARE doing Alien Rock Theatre II . Yes... we're a little behind schedule... if there is one... but we sound even better now with Devon on bass, so it all worked out for the best. And I don't have an ego, I just know when I've been in bands before, the magic just wasn't there. But with The Current Perish lineup.... I'm feeling it. We got so many compliments on our last song of the night clam blue ocean. The energy was there, we played it better than we ever have, and we rehearse 5 days a week. There is something to be said about the energy feedback from the crowd. Anyone out there that's had a great show that went smooth and a has good band to work with.... will know what I mean there. I don't say we have a shot at it because I have an ego. I say that becuase I've seen, heard, been in, promoted, managed and watched hundreds of bands. I honestly think we have a decent sound happening and we actually have a shot at it. I am also a music teacher and all my students think our stuff is bad ass. I get asked constantly by young people to transcribe my guitar work for them to try at home. That makes me feel better than anything ever said on this site. So... thanks to everyone who's ever had something nice to say about us on here or anywhere for that matter. As for flatulences comments.... it would be easier if I copied what I said from the show reveiws section. Here it is. whatever dude. Another random poke at us with nothing to back it. What I mean by that is. You showed up at 9:40. You walked right past the ticket booth, past the girl at the door, like some arrogant prick, and walked into the show without paying.

| Flatulenze User Info... | I cant believe how much this Jeff guy is willing to write. No, you don't know me. And no, i was not some punk ass who didn't pay. I paid for the show. I saw it. It sucked.

| Tyler User Info... | this band rules just because Jeff wrote a like 2,000 word essay that nobody here is going to read. - Mon, 8 Sep 2008 1:19am | ||
| Pierce User Info... | Tyler gets the award of posting the most relevant words. Really, no one will read it, as no one cares about this nonsense. I have played with bands ever since landing on this island in the mid 90's, and this type of self-praise takes the cake. It reminds me of grade 7 when i was in a band that won a Nation Youth Forum. We sucked, but you couldn't tell us that because someone recorded it and put it on Much Music for a few seconds. I will make a point of never ever behaving like Jeff is right now. - Mon, 8 Sep 2008 8:14am | ||
| Flatulenze User Info... | I think i dumped a loaf in my pants when i read this part, "I have been gigging since I was 14, and I'm 32 now." I thought we were dealing with a kid. HAHAHA. This makes all of this even funnier. 32????? HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA hahaha lmao hahaha cough; - Mon, 8 Sep 2008 3:42pm | ||

| osama User Info... | Jeff, I do remember you saying in the Times Colonist that where your from selling 3,000 tickets to a show is no problem and if you couldn't you were a nobody. Remember that if you do book save on foods that you will need to have your own light show. And no 3 dj lights will not cut it, heck it didn't even work for your last show at the royal theater. Remember the one where you sold 40 tickets and didn't even finish the show. The one where the royal theater offered to close the balcony off to save you some money but because your ego made you so delusional you kept it open because you thought the masses were going to come pouring in. Thank goodness the royal theater turned their stage lights on or we wouldn't have been able to see the garbage bag set, or the cheese dancing around. - Wed, 8 Oct 2008 11:59pm | ||
